Baby Keem is king on Billboard\u2019s Top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart as his new album, Ca$ino<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, debuts atop the list dated March 7. The set, released on eerie times\/pgLang\/Columbia Records, begins with 72,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week of Feb. 20-26, according to Luminate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the first-week total, streaming activity contributed 55,500 units, a figure equal to 56.7 million official on-demand audio and video streams of Ca$ino\u2019s songs. The remaining 16,500 units were from traditional album sales, while a negligible amount of sales of Ca$ino\u2019s songs rounded the third and final metric. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 1,000 paid\/subscription tier or 2,500 ad-supported tier of official on-demand audio and video streams for a song on the album.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Ca$ino cashes in a No. 1 arrival on the Top Rap Albums chart for Baby Keem\u2019s first leader there and starts at No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard 200.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Ca$ino, the 25-year-old Baby Keem \u2014 born Hykeem Carter Jr. \u2014 charted with his debut album, The Melodic Blue. The 2021 project debuted and peaked at No. 3 on Top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums that September, spurred by its Grammy Award-winning collaboration with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, \u201cFamily Ties,\u201d which hit a No. 8 best on Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs the same month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baby Keem, Lamar and No. 8 all meet again this week as Ca$ino hit\u00a0\u201cGood Flirts,\u201d the track of Baby Keem featuring Lamar and singer Momo Boyd<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, debuts at the rank. It leads 10 cuts from Ca$ino onto the 50-position chart, and its entry matches \u201cFamily Ties\u201d for Baby Keem\u2019s best result on the list. Boyd achieves her Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs debut while Lamar adds a 39th top 10 of his career, a sum that includes seven No. 1s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood Flirts\u201d traces its debut nearly entirely to 7.7 million official U.S. streams. It was the week\u2019s most streamed Ca$ino track and opens at No. 4 on the R&B\/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart. Beyond the R&B\/hip-hop space, \u201cGood Flirts\u201d launches at No. 34 on the all-genre, multimetric Billboard Hot 100 chart.<\/span><\/p>\n
