In the latter part of the previous month, Kendrick Lamar astonished both fans and critics by unexpectedly releasing his new album, GNX.
Despite months of speculation that the Compton rapper was preparing to release new material, the announcement still caught his audience by surprise.
Despite his lack of promotion, the project has already been a huge success. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and sold 319K album-equivalent units in the U.S.
Now, it’s reportedly topped the Billboard Canadian Albums chart as well, per the outlet. He didn’t manage a No. 1 on the Canadian Hot 100, though his songs “Luther” and “Squabble Up” are sitting at second and third, respectively.
This is far from the only exciting news about Kendrick, however. Earlier this week, he also announced his upcoming “Grand National” tour with SZA.
