The 23-track project, which features appearances from Future, Young Thug, and Jeremih, earned 216,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week, of which album sales comprise 6,500. Baby also claims the third-largest streaming week for an album in 2022, with 288.97 million on-demand streams.

This marks Baby’s third trip to No. 1. He previously topped the chart with The Voice of the Heroes, 2021’s collaborative album with Lil Durk, and 2020’s My Turn, which was the highest-selling album of that year. Additionally, It’s Only Me marks Baby’s sixth consecutive top 10 project on the Billboard 200.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti remains at No. 2 with 72,000 equivalent album units. The Weeknd’s greatest hits collection The Highlights holds at No. 5 (40,000), while Beyoncé’s former No. 1 Renaissance falls 3-6 (33,000).
