Lil Baby released My Turn in 2020, but the album has logged 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart as the longest top-tier run in the chart’s history.
Post Malone’s Hollywood Bleeding held the record previously with 84 weeks in the top 10 between 2019 and 2021, as well as the preceding two records with his 2016 Stoney album and 2018’s Beerbongs & Bentleys. Post’s albums surpassed Michael Jackson’s Thriller record with 77 weeks in the chart’s top 10.
My Turn has gone multi-platinum in the United States, as well as received numerous honors including Grammy, AMA, and Billboard Music Awards nominations.
“I called it My Turn ’cause I feel like everybody else had a lil’ turn,” Lil Baby said in 2019 Instagram Live stream. “It’s my turn now. Everybody dropped their mixtapes, their albums – go number 1, number 2, number 3.”
Last week, the rapper teased new music as he tweeted, “My turn again,” as a seemingly clear hint he has something big on the way.
