2020'S FIRST 2X
PLATINUM ALBUM

Lil Baby's breakthrough year continues as 2020's leading album, My Turn (QC/Motown/Capitol), becomes the first to surpass 2m units and reach a 2x platinum certification. The new milestone only cements Baby's year as the most-listened to artist. It's likely that no other album in 2020 reaches the 2x platinum threshold.

Along with the year's best-selling album, Lil Baby also notched his seventh #1 at Urban radio with his protest anthem "The Bigger Picture," while amassing 20 billion career streams globally.

Check out his just-released video for "Forget That" featuring Rylo Rodriguez, who Baby signed to his label 4PF.
