On the other hand, The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' zooms back into the top ten of the weekly chart following the reissue of the album to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

AceShowbiz - DaBaby scores his first No. 1 album on Billboard 200 as his new album "Kirk" arrives in the slot of the chart. Released trough SouthCoast/Interscope Records, the effort racked up 145,000 equivalent album units, including 8,000 in tradition album sales, in the week ending October 3, according to Nielsen Music.

In addition to becoming his first chart-topping album, "Kirk" marks the fifth-largest debut streaming week for an album this year with 181.7 million on-demand audio streams. Even though the album gains a huge number of streams, only one song off the effort is able to make it to Billboard's Hot 100. Its first track, "Intro", debuted at No. 17 on the chart a few days, though this might change when the Hot 100 refreshes.

DaBaby previously hit the top ten spot on Billboard 200 with his debut album "Baby on Baby", which peaked at No. 7 back in June thanks to his breakthrough single "Suge".

Back to this week's chart, Post Malone's "Hollywood's Bleeding" is forced to give up its top position and lands in No. 2 with 124,000 units. On the other hand, The Beatles' "Abbey Road" zooms back into the top ten for the first time since 1970, coming to No. 3 with 81,000 units. The vault is most likely boosted by the reissue of the album to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

Another new release this week is Kevin Gates' "I'm Him" that launches at No. 4 with 70,000 units. It marks his fourth top ten album. Trailing behind the effort if Taylor Swift's "Lover", which descends to No. 5 with 57,000 units.
