The act released its debut album SremmLife on Jan. 6 through Eardruma/Interscope Records. Industry forecasters suggest the set may sell upwards of 45,000 to 50,000 copies in the week ending Jan. 11. The album features the hit singles "No Flex Zone" (No. 8 on Hot Rap Songs) and the No. 2 smash "No Type." The act's latest Rap hit, "Throw Sum Mo," featuring Nicki Minaj & Young Thug, debuts at No. 19 on the chart dated Jan. 17.
Rae Sremmurd could be the Billboard 200's highest debut, and only arrival in the top 10, as the year gets off to a traditionally slow start in terms of new releases. Taylor Swift's 1989 will remain in the No. 1 slot for a ninth nonconsecutive week.
