NAV is at No. 1. The Toronto artist’s Good Intentions album sits at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, despite intense competition from the likes of Kehlani and Lil Durk.
Driven by merchandise/album bundles sold via NAV’s official webstore, the album earned 135,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 14, per Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Of that, the album earned 84.8 million on-demand streams. Good Intentions follows NAV’s 2019 release Bad Habits, which launched with 82,000 units earned.
