Pusha T’s new album It's Almost Dry has reached number one the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop 200. Push posted to social media on Sunday (May 1) about the album's ongoing success.

“We all can’t be number 1 at the same time, this week it’s mine," Push wrote on Instagram. "Thank you @pharrell and @kanyewest for executive producing." According to Luminate, the independent data provider for the Billboard charts, It’s Almost Dry earned 55,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending April 28.

The album's streaming activity represented 83% of it's first-week unit total. It’s almost Dry is Pusha T’s fourth studio album and his third top 10 on the Billboard 200, following Daytona which hit number 3 in 2018 and My Name Is My Name which hit number 4 in 2013. With only 12 tracks, BILLBOARD reports that It's Almost Dry is the second shortest album of 2022 behind Oddinary by Stray Kids, which contained seven tracks.

Pusha T promised earlier this year that his next album would be "album of the year material," and ...Dry's momentum has not slowed since its April 22 release date. The album is produced equally by Kanye West and Pharrell Williams and contains guest appearances from Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, No Malice, NIGO, Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver and Labrinth.
