Grateful marks the record producer’s second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart and features guest appearances from Future, Travis Scott, Rick Ross, Migos, Chance the Rapper, Nicki Minaj, Kodak Black, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, JAY-Z, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Drake, Rihanna, Sizzla, Mavado, Nas, Calvin Harris and Betty Wright.

Grateful is not Khaled’s first No. 1 album. Last year, Major Key landed at the No. 1 spot selling 95,000 units. Of that starting-week sum, 59,000 were in traditional album sales.

Just last week on Hot 97 with Ebro in the Morning, Khaled gave details on his 23-track, double disc new album, shared insight on his latest single “Wild Thoughts,” his relationship with Birdman and how he convinced JAY-Z and and Beyoncé to record “Shining.”
