Meek Mill is claiming his
crown. The Philly rapper scores his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200
with Dreams Worth
More Than Money.
His sophomore set moved
246,000 album units in its first week, according to Nielsen Music (via Billboard). The 14-track album, which features appearances
from Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Chris Brown, was announced only
five days before its June 29 release.
Meek earns his largest
sales week yet (215,000 in traditional sales), surpassing the opening week of
his 2012 debut, Dreams and Nightmares, which sold 165,000.
