The rising star’s latest project is tracking for a strong first week and continued chart relevance.

The Kid LAROI is once again proving his staying power. His latest project, BEFORE I FORGET, is currently aiming for a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200, with early projections landing around 39,000 units in its first week.

Regardless of the ongoing internet discourse, The Kid LAROI remains one of the most compelling young artists in music today, not just within hip-hop. His voice is immediately recognizable, his songwriting leans heavily into emotional honesty, and he continues to excel at capturing the fragile overlap between love and heartbreak. On BEFORE I FORGET, that balance feels more refined than ever, as LAROI doubles down on his strengths while showing clear artistic growth.

Looking at the numbers provides useful context. F**K LOVE debuted with roughly 40,000 units, while his debut studio album, The First Time, opened closer to 22,000 units. If current projections hold, BEFORE I FORGET will land neatly between those two releases, reinforcing LAROI’s consistency rather than signaling a drop-off. In fact, given his strong streaming base and fan engagement, it wouldn’t be surprising to see those numbers climb before the week closes.

I’m going to do everything in my power to get The Kid LAROI’s numbers to rise. Y’all think Target has 1000 copies I can buy?
