After a week of sales, The Tortured Poets Department reached 2.6 million dollars in album sales and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200.
Future & Metro Boomin
An exciting album for rap enjoyers, We Still Don’t Trust You was released by Future and Metro Boomin on April 12.

After Writing hit songs like “Ceilings” and “To the Mountains,” McAlpine’s popularity is exploding. Older is McAlpine’s third major studio album.
