Juice Wrld attends the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on August 20, 2018 in New York City.

Juice WRLD could land his first #1 album on the Billboard 200.

Juice WRLD was one of the biggest stars to breakout in 2018. The rapper created a strong buzz on the internet but after signing to Interscope, he became a certified hit-maker on the Billboard charts. Although he's yet to obtain the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, "Lucid Dreams" spent a long stretch in the top 10 on the chart. The two projects he released last year also made their way into the top 10 on the Billboard 200 but he's never hit the top spot. However, there's a strong chance that he'll nab the top spot with his new album Death Race For Love.

Yesterday, reports claimed that he's on pace to sell 165K in his first week. The rapper's two previous projects, Goodbye & Good Riddance and WRLD On Drugs with Future, peaked at #8 and #2, respectively.
