Find Out How NF's "Hope" Performed on Billboard 200

Rapper NF notches his fourth top 10-charting effort as his latest album Hope bows at Billboard 200 chart at  No. 2. The set launches with 123,000 equivalent album units. Of that sum, album sales comprise 80,500 (making it the top-selling album of the week), SEA units comprise 41,500 (equaling 56.85 million on-demand official streams of the set's 13 songs - NF's biggest streaming week yet), and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Hope's handsome first-week sales figure - NF's second-largest sales week ever - was bolstered by the album's availability in an autographed CD edition in his webstore, a Target-exclusive CD with a poster packaged inside, four deluxe CD/merch boxed sets, and a both a white vinyl and a standard black vinyl edition.

Known for rapping quick-witted lyrics over hip hop beats, NF has built an obsessively loyal fanbase that has earned him over 30 billion global streams and established NF as one of the most consistent and consumed artists, connecting directly with fans in an authentic way. NF's HOPE also features Julia Michaels on "GONE," and rapper Cordae on "CAREFUL". 

Earlier this year NF returned with the stirring new single "HOPE". The songs find the multi-Platinum hitmaker at his most raw and unfiltered as he assesses his musical journey thus far and looks to the future. Hope is accompanied by a suitably uplifting visual, which captures the MC's defiance and authenticity. Watch it HERE.

Next up is NF's facetious "MOTTO", of which The New York Times says, "in his early career, NF sounded as if he was internalizing all the pressures of the world, but now he sounds free and calm, dismissing those same pressures with a shrug." Watch the pointed video HERE.

In addition, NF has launched his HOPE TOUR. The 47-city tour kicks off on Wednesday, July 12th at Schottenstein Center in Columbus making stops across US, Canada, UK and Europe before wrapping up in London at the Eventim Apollo in Bell on Sunday, October 15th. NF will be joined on tour by album feature Cordae as support on the US and Canada dates.
