XXXTentacion’s impact is still being felt after his untimely passing.

The “SAD!” rapper was working on his third studio album at the time he was fatally shot at a motorcycle dealership in Florida on June 18. XXXTentacion was 20-years-old.

Dec. 7 marked the official release of his posthumous album Skins. One week later it topped the Billboard 200 chart. The project earned 132,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with 52,000 of those being traditional album sales. It marks the best first-week sales of XXXTentaction’s career.

Skins is XXXTentacion’s second chart-topping album and his third project in the top two. Skins also topped the album charts in at least four countries.

Take a look at the top 10 albums of the week, which includes Meek Mill’s Championships, the return of Michael Buble’s 2011 Christmas album, and A Star is Born soundtrack.
