Metro Boomin recently broke a Spotify record as his most recent album Heroes & Villains continues to sell copies.
Metro recently became the first non-rapping Hip Hop producer to achieve 50 million monthly listeners on the streaming service, according to a report from Rap TV on Sunday (January 29). Heroes & Villains, according to Chart Data, is still performing well over a month after its debut and is currently ranked No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
The Atlanta producer’s second studio album, which was released on December 2, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after garnering about 185,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Future, Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, The Weeknd, and other celebrities are included on the project.
Drake also contributed to the album, and his verse on the Travis and Young Thug-assisted song “Trance” even leaked earlier this month. Metro recently revealed the reason the 6 God was finally cut from the album.
