Smoke’s album is still doing very good numbers as it is reportedly the highest-selling hip-hop/R&B album of 2021 so far. This is after accumulating 585,000 units at this point in the yaar. Lil Durk’s “The Voice” is second with 527,000 units and The Weeknd’s “After Hours” has 460,000.
Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon is also at platinum status in the US as it was led by some very strong singles. These include “What You Know Bout Love,” “For The Night” feat. DaBaby and Lil Baby, and “The Woo” feat. 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch.
