Travis Scott's Utopia will be the second rap album of 2023 to hit number one.
HitsDailyDouble is projecting Utopia will do at least 45oK in its opening week, with a chance to top the 538K his 2018 album Astroworld did and will easily be the biggest rap opening of the year.
Utopia features include Drake, Beyonce, the Weeknd, Bad Bunny, SZA, Kanye West, Future, Pharrell, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Dave Chappelle, Playboi Carti, Bon Iver, Swae Lee, Kid Cudi, and James Blake.
There were no features on Post Malone's synth-pop album Austin.
HitsDailyDouble believes it will do a little north of 100K, which is about what his 2022 album Twelve Carat Toothache did.
