Jhené Aiko Lands First No. 1 Album With 'Westside Whimsy'

Jhené Aiko earned her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with her fourth album, "Westside Whimsy," debuting atop the chart with 74,000 equivalent album units. The album is the first R&B record by a woman to top the chart this year, and the first since SZA's "SOS" in May 2025. It features guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Tyga, and Larry June, and was announced less than a week before its release. Aiko's previous album, "Chilombo" (2020), debuted at No. 2 and earned three Grammy nominations. "Westside Whimsy" is the only new entry in the top 10 this week, with Ella Langley's "Dandelion" falling to No. 2.
