Lil Durk’s ‘7220’ Becomes His First Solo No. 1 Album
Lil Durk is on top of the charts. The Chicago legend’s 7220 album has taken pole position on the Billboard 200, becoming the rapper’s first solo No. 1.
Billboard notes Durkio’s album moved 120,500 equivalent album units in its first week. Of that number, streaming equivalent units make up 117,500 from a strong 164.81 million on-demand streams. An additional 2,500 came from album sales. TEA units totaled 500. 7220 is the fifth top-five album for Durk and is the third-largest debut for an album this year only trailing Gunna’s DS4Ever (150,300) and The Weeknd’s Dawn FM (148,000).
Last week, Lil Durk pulled up on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and brought two singles from his 7220 albums. To open the set, Durkio was joined by Future for “Petty Too.” To Follow, Durk hopped into his current street banger “AHHH HA.” You can see the performance below.

Lil Durk Lands His First Solo No. 1 Album With ‘7220’
Lil Durk has been a steady rise upward in the hip-hop world over the last few years. Things began to change for the Chicago rapper in 2019 when he released his fourth album Love Songs 4 the Streets 2. When it was released, that project became his first release to debut in the top five of the album charts. Months later, he landed his highest position on the singles chart thanks to “Laugh Now, Cry Later,” his collaboration with Drake. Afterward, he reached new heights on the Billboard 200 with The Voice and Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 both peaking at No. 2. Now, with his latest album, Durk has secured his first No. 1.
Just a little over a week after he released his seventh album 7220, the project debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This makes for Durk’s first solo chart-topping album and his second consecutive No. 1 following Voice Of The Heroes, his joint album with Lil Baby. With its debut at No. 1, 7220 sold 120,500 album units in its first week on the charts. That number is comprised of 117,500 streaming equivalent album units and 2,500 pure album sales.
7220 makes for the fifth top-five album of Durk’s career. It also gives him the third-largest overall week for an album released in 2022. It sits behind Gunna’s DS4EVER (150,300) and The Weeknd’s Dawn FM (148,000).
Gunna is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Lil Durk Earns First No. 1 Solo Album With ‘7220’
Lil Durk Name-Checks Friends And Foes In His Defiant ‘Computer Murders’ Video
“Check on your mans, I heard he got hit in his head,” raps Lil Durk on his 7220 song, “Computer Murders.” “But he almost died so I can say his name ’cause he ain’t dead.”
Yeah, that’s how it goes.
You know what you’re getting from a Lil Durk video these days. The veteran Chicago drill rapper isn’t wasting money or time shooting these things. He and his crew find a spot, grab a few stacks of cash, point the camera, and get the footage before cutting everything together into a frenetic glimpse at their hectic lifestyle. “Computer Murders” is no different.
Likewise, the song follows a well-established Durk formula, as seen on prior releases like “Ahhh Ha” and “Petty Too“: Threats, boasts, and taunts directed at enemies whose lives have been endangered by the Chicago streets. Durk also name-checks the rappers and street personalities he’s been affiliated with through the years. However, he’s also cagey about his own involvement, rhyming, “I don’t mention dead opps / If you really did it, you ain’t gon’ say it ’cause the feds hot.” He’ll damn sure make thinly veiled references to them, though.

Lil Durk Pops Out With Future To Perform ‘Petty Too’ And ‘Ahhh Ha’ On ‘The Tonight Show’
Lil Durk’s 7220 rollout continued last night with a chilled performance of album standouts “Ahhh Ha” and “Petty Too” with Future on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Durk utilized a stripped-down stage setup and plenty of smoke effects to accentuate the verbal gymnastics the two rappers share on their joint song, while Future surprised fans popping out to perform his verse on “Petty Too” to the crowd’s delight.
Durk’s new album, which also features his surprising collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “Broadway Girls,” and the singles “Golden Child” and “Barbarian,” is projected for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 — the first of Durk’s decade-long career. Of his questionable “Broadway Girls” collaborator, Durk was gracious despite the country star’s racial slur controversy, saying, “Nah, he ain’t no racist. That’s my boy… we had [a talk] behind closed doors, and I’ll vouch for him and he good.”
Meanwhile, Durk’s tenure on Alamo has been so successful — his numbers have trended skyward with each new release, to the point he’s considered a genuine superstar within rap — that he was recently able to boast that the label “gave” him $40 million to re-sign.
