21 Savage & Metro Boomin’s “Savage Mode II” Debuts At #1
21 Savage and Metro Boomin treated the release of Savage Mode II with the glossy roll-out it deserved. Four years after the release of their debut joint effort together, the pair released a full-length for the follow-up with skits provided by Morgan Freeman. The anticipation has been high.

Moving 171K in its first week, with 22K of those coming from merchandise/album bundles, the pair both scored their second number one debuts, and fourth top 10 debuts, in their career. 21’s i am > i was was a massive commercial success that propelled to #1. Metro’s Not All Heroes Wear Capes also debuted at #1 in 2018.
YG didn’t score a #1 debut but he did have much higher album sales than anticipated. My Life 4Hunnid debuts at #4, marking his highest-charting album since My Krazy Life.
Just below YG is Bryson Tiller whose latest project, Anniversary rounds out the top 5. He moved 57K in his first week with 52K of those coming from streams, 4K in sales, and 1K in TEA.
Hip-hop is still dominating the top 10, overall. Besides the new debuts, Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die drops from #6 to #8 while NBA Youngboy’s TOP hugs the #9 spot for a second week in a row. Pop Smoke also sits at #3 this week. Meanwhile, Lil Baby’s My Turn jumps from 12 to 10, continuing the Atlanta rapper’s reign as a commercial giant.

Henry Desira returns with renewed purpose on latest release “hopeful forever”
Henry Desira’s “Forever Hopeful” is a meaningful return to songwriting, a deeply personal release rooted in reflection, perseverance, and emotional honesty. Rather than sugar-coating life’s difficulties with simple optimism, the song embraces uncertainty and emphasizes the subtle resilience that enables us to carry on. It’s more than a return; it’s a creative renaissance after a difficult time away from music due to mental health issues.
“Forever Hopeful” is a heartfelt song. The song is about the fact that there is still hope even when things seem too big. Henry Desira doesn’t make life seem easy, but rather embraces the complexities of life and reminds the listener that difficult moments don’t negate the possibility of brighter days ahead. That balanced view gives the track a comforting authenticity, making its message of uplift feel earned rather than idealized.
Forever Hopeful is a creative return that packs a bigger emotional punch than its title suggests. It speaks to the courage it takes to start over, to find inspiration again, to transmute personal adversity into something of value. The song becomes a personal milestone and a hopeful reminder that healing is seldom immediate, but progress is possible. Henry Desira’s latest release hits deep for being vulnerable and resilient at the same time, an honest offering of hope that sticks around long after the music stops.
