Logic’s surprise album Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind has made its grand entrance on the Billboard 200 at No. 1 for the week ending May 16.
It marks the Def Jam rapper’s third album to land in the coveted spot, trailing 2017’s Everybody and 2018’s Young Sinatra IV.
Elsewhere on the chart, TrapStar Turnt PopStar by PnB Rock has dipped 44 percent, moving from No. 4 to No. 15 while Lizzo’s solo debut Cuz I Love You hops from No. 15 to No. 13.
DaBaby also crawls into the Top 10 with Baby On Baby, jumping from No. 14 to No. 8.
Still Ballin
With 80,434 total album equivalent units, 23,703 in pure album sales and a streaming count 73,926,649, Logic’s latest project has nabbed the No. 1 spot.
Boasting several high prile guests, including Eminem (“Homicide”), Wiz Khalifa (“Still Ballin”) and Will Smith (“Don’t Be Afraid To Be Different”), it’s no surprise the 16-track album was able to top the chart.
Despite its position, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind failed to reel in as many sales as YSIV, which debuted No. 1 last year with roughly 167,000 total album equivalent units sold in its opening week.
Climb Baby Climb
DaBaby’s Baby On Baby album continues crawling up the chart. After landing at No. 14 last week, he’s slithered his way into the Top 10, settling at No. 8 with 27,564 total album equivalent units, a meager 277 in pure album sales and a streaming count 38,288,602.

Cuz We Love Her
Lizzo has also made a small jump this week with her major label debut, Cuz I Love You. With 25,177 total album equivalent units, 3,311 pure album sales and a streaming count 26,374,257, the album moves from No. 15 to No. 13.
Aside from Missy Elliott and Gucci Mane’s contributions, the Atlantic Records artist carried the 14-track project with her powerful singing voice, skilled rapping and bold content.
