XXXTENTACION's new album might help him gain his first #1 on the Billboard 200.

XXXTENTACION's legal trouble aside, the rapper's proving with each release that he's a well-rounded and versatile artist. After releasing his album 17 last year, the rapper continued to prove that he's a talented individual but his legal issues overshadowed his artistry. The rapper recently released his latest album ? this past weekend. It looks like it's been well-received for the most part and now, it's looking like it's about to make a major debut on the Billboard album charts.

XXXTENTACION's is expected to launch to number one this week on the album charts, according to Billboard's report. Their industry forecasters predict the Broward County rapper is slated to sell 115K equivalent album units by the end of March 22nd. XXXTENTACION's debut album 17 managed to peak at number two on the Billboard 200. They say it's performance on the charts will likely be due to the activity of individual songs on the project.

XXXTENTACION is already doing pretty well on the charts right now. His two previously released singles, "SAD!" and "changes" have helped him hit new heights in his career. The former being his first single in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

In addition to that, the rapper made a huge leap on the Billboard Hot Artists charts last week. The rapper was sitting at 92 on the chart and launched to number 12 due to the success of his most recent singles.
