Taking the crown yet again, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist, producer, entrepreneur, author, and music guru DJ Khaled bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with his tenth full-length offering, Grateful. This notably marks his second consecutive debut at the top of the chart in under twelve months’ time, and his seventh Top 10 entry overall since 2008.

Khaled introduced Grateful with one of music’s hottest hit streaks in recent memory. “I’m The One” became his first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved RIAA platinum status in less than six weeks. Meanwhile, “Shining” (feat. Beyonce & Jay-Z) simultaneously pinned down #1 at Urban and Rhythm Radio. “Wild Thoughts” stood out as the #1 Most Added at Top 40, Urban, and Rhythm upon impact, and it’s replicating the same crossover success of its predecessors and then some.

The album has also received mass critical praise with Entertainment Weekly writing that, “Khaled’s ability to summon music’s Avengers remains unrivaled,” and Rolling Stone affirming, “Grateful has a guest list stronger than most award shows.”

Sylvia Rhone, President of Epic Records states, “Grateful marks an incredible time in music as DJ Khaled continues to set the bar for creative excellence. His passion and work ethic are unparalleled and the impact that he has on culture is reflected as he claims the number 1 spot.”
