Lil Baby is riding high on the success of his latest album, WHAM, which has taken the charts by storm despite mixed reviews. He’s not resting on his laurels, though, as he’s already teasing the release of his next album, “Dominique,” on social media.
The buzz around WHAM started with its impressive first-week sales, where Lil Baby sold 144,000 equivalent units. These numbers not only exceeded expectations but also dethroned Bad Bunny to secure the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200. It’s no wonder fans are eagerly looking forward to his next project.
Despite varied opinions from fans and critics, Lil Baby’s chart performance seems to suggest he’s on the right track. The Georgia rapper now boasts four consecutive albums reaching number one, with WHAM topping both the R&B and Hip-Hop Album and Rap Album lists.
Amidst this whirlwind success, Lil Baby is looking ahead. The rapper took to Instagram to hint at his upcoming release, “Dominique,” which shares his legal first name. This album promises to be more personal, a window into the ‘serious’ side of the artist that fans haven’t seen before.
Originally, Lil Baby considered releasing “WHAM” as a double album, which would have included tracks from “Dominique.” However, he chose differently to cater to fan desires for certain songs, showing just how attuned he is to his audience’s wants.
On social media, Lil Baby teased the new album with a message that has fans buzzing with excitement: “See yall Again in a couple weeks ‘Dominique’ The Album 2-?-25”. The title hints at a deeper, more vulnerable side, offering something uniquely different from his previous work.
It’s clear Lil Baby is in tune with his fans, navigating the music world with an instinctive understanding of what they crave. As “Dominique” edges closer to its release, listeners are eagerly awaiting to see how this more intimate project will differ from the bold and successful WHAM. The anticipation only builds as he’s set to deliver something personal and promising.
