Lil Baby’s career just hit another major milestone — according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Six years after its release, his breakout album My Turn is now certified 7x platinum by the RIAA. The honor means the project has sold 7 million units in the United States, including sales and streaming equivalents.
Even bigger, it stands as the highest certified rap album of the 2020s so far. The news arrived just days after the album’s February 28 anniversary.
When My Turn dropped in 2020, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and stayed in the charts. Records like “Woah” and “The Bigger Picture” became defining moments. “The Bigger Picture” especially resonated, capturing the frustration and urgency surrounding nationwide protests.
The album blended Atlanta trap roots with mainstream precision. Baby’s melodic flow carried street narratives into wider spaces. He balanced raw honesty with crossover appeal, expanding beyond core rap audiences without losing credibility.

My Turn marked a career shift. Before it, Lil Baby was on the rise. After it, he became a headliner. Arena tours followed. Award nominations stacked up. The project solidified his place in Atlanta’s influential rap lineage while carving out his own lane.
He has kept that momentum. In 2025, Baby returned to No. 1 with WHAM, featuring heavyweights like 21 Savage and Young Thug.
Still, My Turn remains the benchmark. In a streaming era where trends fade fast, the album continues to rack up plays across platforms. Certifications tell part of the story. Cultural impact tells the rest. Six years later, My Turn is not just surviving. It is leading the decade.
