Ken Carson's 'More Chaos' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

Ken Carson’s fourth studio album, 'More Chaos,' has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his first chart-topping project and a major milestone in his career. The album earned approximately 59,000 to 63,000 units in its first week, with the vast majority coming from streaming, reflecting Carson’s strong online following and the genre’s digital dominance. Critics note that 'More Chaos' builds on the experimental sound of his previous release, 'A Great Chaos,' pushing the boundaries of rage rap with a blend of punk, trap, and industrial influences. While some reviewers found the album’s early tracks repetitive, others praised its high-energy production, innovative beat switches, and standout tracks like 'Trap Jump.' The project also features notable collaborations and demonstrates a more polished, cohesive artistic direction, solidifying Carson’s influence in shaping the sound of modern rap. Carson’s ascent is seen as emblematic of a larger shift in hip-hop, where authenticity, niche communities, and online buzz drive success over traditional industry models.
