Lil Baby gave us one of the most talked-about albums of 2020 with My Turn, and it’s not done ruling the charts. After hitting its fifth week at no. 1, My Turn became the longest-charting album of the year.

This album hit the shelves on February 28th and debuted atop the Billboard 200. It went on to become certified platinum in mid-May and spent 13 consecutive weeks in the top 10 before returning back to no. 1 on June 20th.

My Turn has been ruling the Billboard 200 ever since and eventually earned a fifth week at the top of the chart. Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding is the latest album to log five weeks at no. 1 back in November 2019, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Lil Baby managed to hold down the top spot for another week.

The hit single “The Bigger Picture” renewed interest in his music, despite the fact it wasn’t even featured on My Turn. It also helped his case that he didn’t have strong competition in other artists since the last few weeks have been slow on mainstream releases.
