Ken Carson Notches First Career No. 1 Album On Billboard 200 With ‘More Chaos’

Ken Carson claims his first ever No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as More Chaos debuts atop this week’s chart. More Chaos marks the first Top 10 of the Atlanta rapper’s career as well, following two previous charting albums, A Great Chaos (which peaked at No. 11 in 2023) and X (No. 115 in 2022). Interestingly, More Chaos is released by Opium/Interscope Records, and it bumps Opium label founder Playboi Carti from atop the Billboard 200, as MUSIC falls six spots to No. 7 after spending three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The rest of this week’s Top 10 features all former No. 1s, with Kendrick Lamar’s GNX rising three slots to No. 2, SZA’s SOS moves up one place to No. 3, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet jumps up two spots to No. 4, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U falls two places to No. 5, Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time moves up one slot to No. 6, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos holds at No. 8, Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine plummets seven spots to No. 9, and Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM rises two slots to No. 10.
