Kehlan and Lil Durk join Nav in the top 5 on the Billboard 200.

Since Nav emerged into the rap game, he's been a target of many jokes and memes. Many of them are personal while others take aim at the quality of his music but despite all of that, he's continued to prove that he's a commercial giant. Bad Habits debuted at the top of Billboard 200 becoming his first number one album in his career. With the release of Good Intentions, many wondered if he was capable of doing it again.

Billboard reports that Nav's latest album has earned him his second consecutive chart-topping album. The project debuted at #1 with an impressive 135K units sold in the first week. "I want to start off by thanking my family, friends, @cashxo, @theweeknd, all the artists and producers involved and who could forget my LEGENDARY FANS!! #1 again!!! XO," he wrote on Twitter in response to his latest feat. Likely due to both merch bundles and a deluxe edition released shortly after, Nav's proved that he isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Aside from Nav, Kehlani and Lil Durk also had major weeks. Kehlani's latest project, It Was Good Until It Wasn't debuted at #2 with 85K, her biggest opening week to date. Lil Durk's Just Cause Y'all Waited 2 marked his second album to debut in the top five as it hit #5 on the chart.
