Juice WRLD's first posthumous album, titled Legends Never Die, solidifies the fact that, even though Juice is no longer with us, he can still have a tremendous impact on us all.

The late Chicago native released so much music in his lifetime, dropping freestyles left and right and churning out hits in his sleep. With a few more collections coming from his unreleased catalog, his first posthumous release Legends Never Die has officially clocked in the strongest first-week sales of any artist this year, moving over 500,000 copies to start.

According to Chart Data, the record is set to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. It has passed The Weeknd's After Hours, Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake, and other albums to enjoy the best-selling week of the year so far. In total, Legends Never Die moved approximately 508,000 equivalent units.

Making history once again, it's clear that Juice WRLD was and will always be a legend.
