This is a very impressive start to NBA YoungBoy’s 2026.
NBA YoungBoy hits another Billboard 200 milestone, as his latest project, Slime Cry, debuts at #6 with 70,000 units sold in its first week.
Slime Cry is the first of what could be multiple releases from NBA YoungBoy this year. Last year alone, he dropped two albums: Make America Slime Again (49k first-week units, debuted at #6) and DESHAWN (11k first-week units). When you combine both projects, the track count balloons past 43. Yeah… that’s a lot.
Notably, Slime Cry comes with no guest appearances, a bold move in today’s streaming-heavy, feature-driven landscape—and one that deserves recognition. The album spans 30 tracks, with “Another Episode” currently gaining the most traction on streaming services.
It will be interesting to see how Slime Cry continues to perform and age on the charts. For now, though, pushing 70K in first-week sales is a very impressive start.
