Meek Mill is a winner on the new Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Dec. 15), as his new release Championships [featuring “Trauma,” “Respect the Game,” “Cold Hearted II,” and the title track all co-written by Larrance Dopson] debuts at No. 1. The set earned 229,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Dec. 6, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 42,000 were in traditional album sales. The album was released on Nov. 30 via Maybach/Atlantic Records and is the hip-hop artist’s second chart-topper, following 2015’s Dreams Worth More Than Money.
