With his first album of 2025, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), topping the Billboard 200 a week after its release, Lil Baby has assigned a release date to its follow-up, Dominique — and it’s sooner than you might have thought.

This week, we get a fresh jolt of energy, as SZA and Lamar make way for two blockbuster debuts. Lil Baby enters the chart at No. 1 with WHAM — an acronym for "Who Hard As Me," not a tribute to the duo who spent last Christmas in the top 5 — which becomes the rapper's fourth consecutive chart-topper and seventh album to hit the top 10.

Lil Baby's 'Wham' is the first new No. 1 album of the year as Bad Bunny trails closely behind with 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' at No. 2.

After a tumble from the mountaintop with his last album, Baby sets his eyes on a return to the top with his fourth album ’WHAM.’

Lil Baby takes over the No. 1 spot of the Billboard 200 with ‘WHAM' and Bad Bunny closely follows at No. 2 with ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos,’ and also announces a residency. Keep watching for more! Tetris Kelly: Lil Baby debuts at No.
