(Los Angeles, CA – July 5, 2017) Taking the crown yet again, GRAMMY® nominated, multi-platinum artist, producer, entrepreneur, author, and music guru DJ Khaled bows at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with his tenth full-length offering, GRATEFUL [We The Best Music Group/Epic Records].

 

Get the album HERE!

 

Achieving 149,127 equivalent sales in total activity, this notably marks his biggest first-week at #1 Overall and #1 Hip-Hop, his second consecutive debut at the top of the chart in under twelve months’ time, and his seventh Top 10 entry overall since 2008.

 

It’s been an unbelievable journey to this milestone. Khaled took the first step on the road to GRATEFUL with his high-profile GRAMMY® press conference where he announced the impending release. That five-month journey culminates now as he clinched #1. Note, this is also his first #1 with infant son Asahd Tuck Khaled its Executive Producer.

 

Kicking off release week, he ignited the BET Awards with an unforgettable performance and starred in a hilarious Daily Show skit with Trevor Noah followed by a packed in-store at Urban Outfitters’ Space 15 Twenty the day the album dropped, and finally an appearance on ABC’sThe Chew too. Watch it HERE!

 

Meanwhile, Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal dedicated widespread support on and off platforms. . Congrats to DJ Khaled, Asahd, We The Best, Roc Nation and Epic, for a #1 album yet again on the Billboard Top 200!

 

Sylvia Rhone, President of Epic Records states, “Grateful marks an incredible time in music as DJ Khaled continues to set the bar for creative excellence.  His passion and work ethic are unparalleled and the impact that he has on culture is reflected as he claims the number 1 spot.”

 

Meanwhile, GRATEFUL has been a mainstay on multiple online charts. It’s consistently held #1 on Apple Music Overall and Hip-Hop/Rap. Moreover, the latest single “Wild Thoughts” [feat. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller] has taken off! Not only it a multi-format smash, but it surpassed 68 million Spotify streams in less than a month and moved to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, the platinum-certified “I’m The One” [feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper, & Lil Wayne] holds the #2 spot, giving Khaled two of the top three songs in the country!

 

Moreover, it has received mass critical praise. Entertainment Weekly wrote, “Khaled’s ability to summon music’s Avengers remains unrivaled,” and Rolling Stone affirmed, “Grateful has a guest list stronger than most award shows.”

 

Khaled introduced Grateful with one of music’s hottest hit streaks in recent memory. “I’m The One” became his first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved RIAA platinum status in less than six weeks and also landed #1 in United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand! Meanwhile, “Shining” [feat. BEYONCÉ & JAY-Z] simultaneously pinned down #1 at Urban and Rhythm Radio. “Wild Thoughts” stood out as the #1 Most Added at Top 40, Urban, and Rhythm upon impact, and it’s replicating the same crossover success of its predecessors and then some. Check out the full Grateful all-star tracklisting below.

 

At a closer look, you might find a subtle theme at the heart of Grateful. It released June 23, its executive producer and Asahd was born October 23, it boasts 23 tracks, and he just dropped a collaboration with the most famous 23 of all—Jordan. It’s a number with history behind it. That history expanded with Grateful.

 

The keys to the kingdom belong to Khaled and Asahd— the youngest album executive producer in history. It’s a year to be Grateful.
