Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart is ablaze with excitement as Offset, one-third of the iconic group Migos, makes a triumphant return, debuting at No. 2 with his latest album, “Set It Off.” Released on October 13 via Motown/Capitol Records, the album’s impressive debut on the chart is a testament to Offset’s enduring appeal and musical prowess.

During the tracking week ending on October 19, “Set It Off” achieved an impressive feat by accumulating 70,000 equivalent album units in the United States, according to data from Luminate. This achievement speaks to Offset’s remarkable ability to captivate and resonate with his audience.

Delving into the specifics of this remarkable first-week performance, streaming activity emerged as a significant contributor, accounting for 44,000 units. This figure equates to a staggering 59.1 million official U.S. audio and video streams of the album’s tracks. Offset’s powerful presence on streaming platforms is a testament to his enduring popularity.

Traditional album sales also played a pivotal role, contributing 25,000 units to the album’s initial success. This demonstrates that Offset’s appeal extends beyond digital streams, with fans eagerly acquiring physical and digital copies of “Set It Off.”
