Jack Harlow's new album aims for a top 10 debut.

Jack Harlow stunned the masses with the release of Jackman. His follow-up to 2022’s Come Home The Kids Miss You, the latest opus from the Louisville, KY native further cements his place in the history books. Some might still feel reluctant to embrace him but he’s undoubtedly taking notes of the criticism and fixing up his game with each release. Jackman, so far, earned him unanimous praise across the board, especially due to his maturity and self-awareness.

The rapper’s latest album likely won’t sell as much as his sophomore album but he’s still on pace to make a splash on the charts. According to Hits Daily Double, Jackman is on pace to move anywhere from 45K to 50K in its first week. It’s a major drop from Come Home The Kids Miss You, which reached #3 on the Billboard 200 with 113K units in total. However, Jackman also arrived without much of a rollout or a lead single to propel its commercial success. Overall, it’s still a win for Jack as he aims for a top 10 debut.

The release of Jack Harlow’s new album comes shortly after the trailer of White Men Can’t Jump. The remake of the 1992 classic finds Harlow in his first-ever starring role alongside Sinqua Walls. The film’s drummed up plenty of hype since it was first announced but with the release of the trailer, it seems like fans are more than impressed with Harlow’s acting chops. With a May 19th release date set, we’re anticipating to see if the remake will live up to the original.

Overall, things are in a good space for Jack Harlow these days and it looks like he’ll be getting even deeper into the film world following White Men Can’t Jump. The rapper was recently tapped to star in the Apple Orginal Film The Instigators. Harlow joins an impressive cast including Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Ving Rhames, Ron Perlman, and more. While Harlow has already earned praise from rap’s elite, such as Kanye and Drake, perhaps, we could expect his acting chops to receive similar acclaim from Hollywood’s equivalent.
