Experts were predicting that Post Malone is going to climb the charts with his latest album Hollywood’s Bleeding, and it turns out they were right. The famous rapper scored his second no. 1 record on Billboard 200 chart with his latest studio effort.

Hollywood’s Bleeding was recorded in the summer of last year, and finally hit the shelves on September 6th. Post Malone did a great job promoting it with singles “Wow”, “Goodbyes”, and “Circles” – all of which made it to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This record also features his chart-topping Swae Lee collaboration “Sunflower”.

Hollywood’s Bleeding isn’t Post Malone’s first album to make it to the top of the charts. He achieved the same success with last year’s record Beerbongs & Bentleys. His debut album Stoney peaked at no. 4 on Billboard 200 when it came out in 2016.

Post Malone’s charting success is pretty impressive as he scored the second-biggest week of the year, with a total of 489,000 equivalent album units earned during its first week. The top spot still belongs to Taylor Swift’s Lover.
