Playboi Carti’s Big Comeback: Chart Domination and New Music Videos
Playboi Carti’s return to hip-hop this year has been one of the biggest moments in the genre. Fans endured a long and frustrating wait for new music, but on March 14, Carti finally delivered, dropping his highly anticipated project. While reactions were mixed, the album was a commercial success, debuting at number one with 298,000 units sold in its first week. It maintained its top position for another week, moving 131,000 copies in week two.
The album’s staying power was boosted by the SORRY 4 DA WAIT edition, which added four extra songs:
- BACKR00MS
- 2024
- DIFFERENT DAY
- FOMDJ
Shortly after the album’s release, Carti dropped a music video for FOMDJ, marking a rare moment where he showed more of his face. For years, he had maintained a mysterious, elusive persona, but with this visual, he signaled that he was fully back and ready to reclaim his spot in the culture.
Now, Carti is keeping up the momentum with a second music video for “FINE SH*T.” The song’s lyrics depict Carti with a woman so beautiful she “can’t even go outside” or “post online.” The video captures this mood perfectly with dark, moody aesthetics, a lavish yacht party, and scenes filled with twerking, hot tubs, and smoke-filled celebrations.
With his latest visuals and the continued success of his album, Playboi Carti is making it clear—he’s back, and he’s here to dominate.
