Post Malone gave us another chart-topping album with Hollywood’s Bleeding and dominating the Billboard 200 once or twice just wasn’t enough. The famous rapper set an important milestone by topping the chart with this album for the fifth time since its release.

This feat hasn’t been accomplished in over a year, ever since Drake released his double album Scorpion last year. There’s one major difference between Billboard 200 triumph of these two records – Post Malone didn’t manage to spend five consecutive weeks on top.

His success is still undeniable, especially once the success of his singles is taken into consideration. Swae Lee collaboration “Sunflower” from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse made it to the top of Billboard Hot 100 long before Hollywood’s Bleeding came out, while “Wow” and “Circles” both reached no 2.

Post Malone was in the good company at Billboard 200 this week, as fellow rappers Kanye West and YoungBoy Never Broke Again took second and third spot on the chart. Country star Miranda Lambert took the no 4. spot with her new album Wildcard.
