Playboi Carti's third studio album MUSIC is currently dominating streaming charts, following its highly anticipated release on March 14, 2025.
The project has reportedly sold over 300,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week, debuting at No.1 on Billboard 200. Carti's MUSIC is officially the largest hip-hop rap album debut for 2025.
The 30-record album hosts features from some of the biggest artists in the game, like Kendrick Lamar, Future, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and more. Interestingly, all 30 tracks included on MUSIC have broken into Billboard's Hot 100 chart, a feat that no rapper, except for Playboi Carti, has achieved.
Some of the album's most popular records, EVIL J0RDAN and RATHER LIE (feat. The Weeknd), have amassed over 55 million and 46 million streams on Spotify, respectively.
With news of MUSIC debuting at No.1 and charting every record on Billboard Hot 100, fans have taken to social media platforms to share their appreciation for Playboi Carti's 2025 achievement.
More reactions followed from Playboi Carti fans praising the 29-year-old rapper and his third studio album.
"Ni**az tryna say it’s because it’s a 30 song album but most rappers who release 15-18 song albums barely get 5 songs on the Hot 100," an individual stated.
"Carti making real history here!," a fan cited.
"He damn near the first rapper to have 30 fu*king songs on an album," added another.
"I knew back then he was gon be a star but not a star of this magnitude nbs," a fan claimed.
Several individuals were seen criticizing the album's performance and calling out Carti for supposedly using "bots" to inflate MUSIC's streaming numbers.
"WOW. That’s both crazy and a damn shame, at the same damn time, because that album is [Trash] (outside of the production). Most of the album, the young man is just doing adlibs. If you consider him a rapper [smh]," a user stated.
"I understand it now… most of the world really is brain dead," another user claimed.
"If anyone has bots it’s this guy lmao," a critic claimed.
"How bad has the music industry got that this has happened," another critic cited.
