I’ma come out here.”
Mac has also posthumously reentered the Billboard 200 album chart's Top 10 with his album Swimming. Moving up a staggering 61 spots, Miller's fifth and final studio album jumped from the No. 71 spot to No. six since the news of his death. Miller's passing has had an incredible impact.
