The project becomes the first rap album in over two months to top US Apple Music.

Lil Baby just locked in another significant career milestone as The Leaks climbs to #1 on US Apple Music, marking the first rap album in more than two months to take over the top spot.

The project’s rise follows a wave of conversation across rap spaces, largely because The Leaks blends the gritty nostalgia of an old-school mixtape with Baby’s unmistakable intensity. As highlighted in our review, the project captures a version of Lil Baby who’s willing to experiment around the edges — tapping into more left-field trap sounds — while still doubling down on the hunger, bounce, and urgency that helped define his ascent.

Even though Baby doesn’t reinvent his lyrical approach here, he leans fully into what he does best and refuses to drift from his strengths. And honestly, that’s the appeal. The Leaks works precisely because it stays true to the classic Lil Baby formula: focused, confident, and unapologetically sharp.

Lil Baby is back at #1 — and he didn’t need to switch up a thing to get there.
