The only other rappers to claim Number 1 debut albums in Ireland since 2000 are Brits Stormzy in 2017 with Gang Signs & Prayer, and KSI earlier in 2020 with Dissimulation.

Pop Smoke also becomes the first act in over four years to claim a posthumous Number 1 album. The last was David Bowie in January 2016 with Blackstar.
