A week after his untimely death, Nipsey Hussle is having the best sales week of his career. With fans flocking to mourn the late entrepreneur, community activist and rapper by streaming his music, it propelled his major label debut, Victory Lap into a new position peak on the Billboard charts.

Victory Lap earned 66,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., up 2,244% from last week, according to Nielsen Music. Of that, 17,000 were from traditional album sales (up 7,205%). The album surpassed its original peak of No. 4 which it earned on March 3, 2018 to the No. 2 position this week.
