Another one!

Father of Asahd, DJ Khaled is this week feeling very grateful after Billboard announced that his new album ‘Khaled Khaled’ is No. 1 on both their Billboard Hot 100 and 200 music charts.

The album is the Wild Thoughts producer’s third album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and the first to reach No. 1 on their Hot 100 chart.

The 14-track album was released on April 30 via We the Best/Epic Records and features an array of artistes including Jamaica’s Buju Banton and Bounty Killer, as well as international singing sensations, H.E.R, Justin Bieber, Bryson Tiller, and Justin Timberlake.

The Artist 100 chart measures artiste activity across key metrics of music consumption, including album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

While topping the Hot 100 chart, the DJ concurrently landed seven songs from the new album on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart including, Every Chance I Get at No. 20 and Sorry Not Sorry at No. 30.

To celebrate the momentous occasion Khaled took to social media saying “I cried many nights. Tears of JOY and Pain making this album. Everyone’s beautiful word really touched my heart. God is Great! #KHALEDKHALED #1 album in the country @billboard I told my team I have the permission to film everything. I want my fans to see the real. Just be”
