September is on the horizon, and fans are still waiting for three heavyweight drops from Kanye West, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar. In the meantime, HitsDailyDouble has compiled a chart detailing the year's 50 best-performing albums across all musical genres.
Unsurprisingly, many hip-hop projects have been seeing heavy support, representing over twenty-two of the included albums. As it happens, the highest-performing project was actually released last year, with Pop Smoke's Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon holding it down in the third spot with 1,427,233,000 audio on-demand streams. At the top sits country star Morgan Wallen, followed by breakout pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo.

Closely following Lil Baby is Lil Durk with The Voice, which brought out 1,017,340,000 audio-on-demand streams. Moneybagg Yo's A Gangsta's Pain and Juice WRLD's posthumous Legends Never Die sit at thirteen and fourteen, while J. Cole's The Off-Season secured the sixteenth position with 849,789,000 audio-on-demand streams.
