It’s Latto’s lucky week on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart as the rapper’s new album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, debuts at No. 1 on the list dated Aug. 24. The set, released on StreamCut/RCA Records, opens with 29,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during the tracking week of Aug. 9 – 15, according to Luminate.

Of Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s first-week total, streaming activity contributes 27,000 units, a figure equal to 36.1 million official on-demand audio and video streams for its tracks. It registered the second-best streaming count among rap albums for the week, just behind the 36.3 million for Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). Traditional album sales provide 2,000 units, with a negligible number of units coming from track-equivalent albums. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)



With Sugar Honey Iced Tea, Latto achieves her first leader on Top Rap Albums with her third project. Her debut effort, Queen of da Souf (released while she was still recording as Mulatto) peaked at No. 24, while her second LP, 777, posted a No. 6 high.

Trending on Billboard

Elsewhere, Sugar Honey Iced Tea starts at No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, a new career best, and at No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200, matching the peak rank of 777.

Three of Sugar Honey Iced Tea’s tracks show on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart: “Big Mama” powers 48-23 for a new peak in its seventh week on the list, while “Brokey” (No. 43) and “H&M” (No. 49) debut. Besides the album’s cuts, Latto lands a fourth song on the chart thanks to her featured spot on Drake’s “Housekeeping Knows,” which launches at No. 22.
