POP SMOKE
Christened "Brooklyn Rap's Homecoming King" by The New York Times, noted for bringing "a sense of excitement to New York rap that had been absent for years" by Complex, and averaging nearly 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Pop Smoke carried Brooklyn as the Borough's next icon in the wings. His breakthrough 2019 mixtape Meet The Woo has 3 billion streams globally and in a stellar review, Pitchfork claimed, "The Brooklyn rapper makes good on the promise of 'Welcome to the Party' with a debut full of the hardest, dirtiest tracks he can manage." He turned up at the top of 2020 with the Gold certified Meet The Woo 2 and debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200, becoming his first ever top 10 record. Meanwhile thirteen certified singles, including six that are platinum or multi-platinum, garnered a combined count of over 25 million units. His posthumous debut album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, spent 34 weeks in the Top 5, and landed the #1 spot for two non-consecutive weeks. It also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland upon its release and became the UK's biggest debut album of 2020. It also broke the record for most weeks at #1 in Billboard Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums chart history, with 20 in total. The album has garnered over 11B streams, launched three RIAA certified platinum songs ("Hello," "Got It On Me," and “Something Special”), two 2x platinum songs (“The Woo” and "What You Know About Love"), two 3x platinum ("Mood Swings" and "Dior"), and the 8x platinum "For The Night." "Dior" was also nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rap Performance. His second posthumous album FAITH similarly debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. To date, Pop Smoke has amassed over 40B streams worldwide and counting.
