The posthumous album from Juice Wrld, who died in December from an accidental drug overdose, debuts atop the Billboard album chart.
They’ve removed ‘Dixie’ from their name and are set to release their first album in 14 years, one that might be the best of the Chicks’ tumultuous career.“Legends Never Die” logged 422 million on-demand streams in the U.S. That’s the biggest streaming week of 2020 for an album, and the fourth-most streams all-time in one week for any album. “Legends” is currently dominating the upper reaches of Spotify, with seven songs in the U.S. Top 50 including the No. 1 single “Wishing Well.
The 21-year-old rapper, born Jarad Higgins, was one of the last breakout stars of the SoundCloud scene of the late 2010s, along with peers like Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. He broke through with a melodic, emo-influenced style epitomized by his 2018 single “Lucid Dreams,” which has nearly 1.3 billion plays on Spotify. The Chicago rapper, like many in his scene, admitted to struggling with drug use, a common theme in his lyrics.
He earned acclaim from peers like Eminem, Future and Travis Scott, and until his death from an accidental drug overdose in December , he was poised to take the scene to new commercial heights. This is the first time that two different posthumous albums have consecutively topped the charts, and the first time that posthumous albums occupy the top two spots on the Billboard album chart.
