We reported last week that Chance The Rapper would end up becoming the first artist ever to chart on the Billboard 200 solely off of streams. Well, after speculation, it’s official — Chance’s latest mixtape Coloring Book landed the number 8 spot on the Billboard charts this past week.

Billboard reports that the game-changing project was streamed roughly 57.3 million times on the exclusive streaming platform Apple Music. In sales, that’s roughly 38,000 units (1,500 streams = 1 sale), which was enough to give Chano the top 10 spot.

The new project will stay exclusively on Apple Music until May 27th before it becomes available on all other streaming platforms. Don’t expect any hard copies any time soon for Coloring Book either.

Congratulations to Chance for an incredible accomplishment. Changing the game one stream at a time.
