Pop Smoke’s Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon Album which was executive produced  by 50 Cent has lived to its hype and critical acclaim by debuting at number 1 on Billboard 200 Chart. 

This is the 1st posthumous album to do so since 2018 XXXTentacion’s Skins album. Pop’s album moved 251,000 equivalent album units in its first week. 

The album contains features from Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Swae Lee, Future, Rowdy Rebel, 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch, Tyga, Karol G, and Lil Tjay, and King Combs.

Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon received positive reviews from critics. Dhruva Balram of NME wrote that the posthumous album is “measured with care”, complimenting the production and Pop Smoke’s ventures into different genres: “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon showcases a multi-faceted artist only just discovering his potential. What makes the album truly stand out is that it serves as a testament to the strength, power and knowledge Smoke held in his ambition to go to the very top. Tragically, his death prematurely vaulted him there, but at least this posthumous release will serve as a lasting reminder of Smoke’s immense talent.”
