In doing so, the up-and-coming rapper has successfully prevented the likes of The Who, Camila Cabello and XXXTentacion from taking over the top spot on this week's chart.

AceShowbiz - Rapper Roddy Ricch now has a No. 1 album. His debut studio album, "Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial", arrives atop Billboard 200 chart this week. The set racked up 101,000 equivalent album units, including 3,000 in traditional album sales, in the week ending December 12, according to Nielsen Music.

This is surely an amazing feat for the rapper, because the competition for this week's No. 1 album is kind of fierce. He beats off legendary rock band The Who, whose self-titled new album debuts at No. 2 with 89,000 units. It additionally marks the group's 11th top ten album.

Besides The Who, Roddy also holds Camila Cabello and XXXTentacion from taking the No. 1 spot. The Cuban songstress' second album, "Romance", launches at No. 3 with 86,000 units, while the late rapper's posthumous album "Bad Vibes Forever" bows at No. 5 with 65,000 units. Even though Camila fails to claim her second No. 1 album, "Romance" becomes the third-largest streaming debut for a pop album by a female artist in 2019 with 40.6 million streams. It's only behind Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" and Taylor Swift's "Lover".

Another album who stays in the top five is Post Malone's "Hollywood's Bleeding", which falls to No. 4 with 66,000 units.

Meanwhile, following his shocking death last week, a couple of Juice WRLD's albums find its way back to the top ten of Billboard 200 this week. "Goodbye & Good Riddance" vaults to No. 6 with 59,000 units, while his former chart-topping album, "Death Race for Love", zooms to No. 10 with 49,000 units.

Other albums who make it to the top 10 of this week's chart include "Frozen II" soundtrack album that descends to No. 7 with 59,000 units. Following the effort are a pair of Christmas albums. Michael Buble's hit album "Christmas" slips to No. 8 with 52,000 units, as Pentatonix's "The Best of Pentatonix Christmas" climbs down to No. 9 with 52,000 units.
