Fourth No. 1 For YoungBoy

- —KEITH CAULFIELD

YoungBoy Never Broke Again achieves his fourth chart-topper on the Billboard 200 as Sincerely, Kentrell debuts atop the tally.

The set earned 137,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the week ending Sept. 30, according to MRC Data.

In turn, the rapper

(real name: Kentrell Gaulden) becomes the second act and the only hip-hop artist with a

No. 1 album in each of the last three years. He previously hit No. 1 with Top and 38 Baby 2, both in 2020 (that September and May, respective­ly), and AI YoungBoy 2 in October 2019.

Taylor Swift also tallied four chart-topping releases during that time frame: Fearless (Taylor’s Version) in 2021, evermore and folklore in 2020 and Lover in 2019.

Since April, YoungBoy has been awaiting trial at the St. Martin Parish Correction­al Center in Louisiana, due to being charged with drug- and weapon-related offenses.
