$uicideboy$ Score First No. 1 Debut on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart
$uicideboy$ earn their first No. 1 debut – and second chart-topper – on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as the rap duo’s new album, Thy Kingdom Come, crowns the list dated Aug. 16. The set opens with 57,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week of Aug. 1-7, according to Luminate.
Thy Kingdom Come, released on G*59, is the act’s second career No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Their previous effort, New World Depression, started at No. 2 in June 2024 before its rise to the top slot the following week. In all, Thy Kingdom Come marks the ninth charted effort for the New Orleans-based duo comprised of cousins Scrim and Ruby da Cherry.
Of Thy Kingdom Come’s first-week total, streaming contributes 34,000 units – equal to 45.5 million official on-demand audio and video streams of the album’s tracks. Twenty-three thousand units are from traditional album sales, with a negligible amount of activity in track-equivalent albums. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)
In addition to its No. 1 arrival on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Thy Kingdom Come also begins at the summit of Top Rap Albums and at No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
Thy Kingdom Come’s entrance heralds 10 total appearances for the album’s tracks on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Eight debuts are among them, led by “Napoleon” at No. 12, which becomes the pair’s highest charting title of 25 career entries, while the BONES collaboration “Now and at the Hour of Our Death” re-enters at No. 26 for a new peak in its third week on the chart, and “Self-Inflicted,” which peaked at No. 28 in May, returns at No. 46.
