The Off-Season recorded the biggest week for a hip-hop release in 2021 with 282,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 20, according to MRC Data. The Off-Season dropped on May 14 via Dreamville/Roc Nation/Interscope.

Of The Off-Season‘s 282,000 equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 243,000, which equals 325.05 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks, album sales comprise 37,000 and TEA units comprise 2,000.
