The only non-rap album to arrive in the Top Ten was Fever Dream by the Icelandic group Of Monsters and Men. YBN Cordae, a young rapper signed to Atlantic, debuted at Number Nine with The Lost Boy thanks to 31.9 million streams. Dum and Dummer, a new release from the Memphis rappers Young Dolph and Key Glock, clocked in at Number Six behind 42.7 million streams. In addition to The Search and The Big Day, three other albums debuted in the Top Ten this week. The Rolling Stone 200 Albums chart is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. Entries are ranked by album units, a number that combines digital and physical album sales, digital song sales, and audio streams using a custom weighting system. The Rolling Stone 200 Albums chart tracks the most popular releases of the week in the United States. That was enough to push The Search past Chance the Rapper‘s The Big Day, which arrived at Number Two on the strength of 99.5 million streams. NF’s sophomore album The Search debuted at Number One on the Rolling Stone. The album sold more than 88,000 copies - thanks to a variety of bundling deals that paired the release with merchandise - and amassed over 56 million streams. NF topped Chance the Rapper on the latest top 200 Albums chart.
