Lil Baby’s Fresh Opens With a Reported 6.1 Million Spotify Streams and Just Two Guests

Lil Baby went almost entirely solo on Fresh. The 17-track album, his fifth, came out Friday (Nov. 6), and only two songs have a guest: “All My Partnas,” with Future, Young Thug and 4PF running mate Rylo Rodriguez, and “In Your Head,” on which Rodriguez gets an assist, per Billboard. It follows 2025’s WHAM, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and we first reported the album and its guests when he announced it.

The album’s sound hasn’t moved much. Billboard’s track-by-track ranking calls Fresh “a reminder that he can rap well” and says he “remains who we have always known him to be,” with a few inspired production choices.

The first numbers are in, though they come from a tracker, not an official source. HotNewHipHop, citing Kurrco, reports about 6.1 million Spotify streams in the album’s first full day, an average of roughly 356,000 per song. Setting aside the previously released “Dead Fresh,” the top track was “Mr. Do Something,” with 882,000 streams, then “All My Partnas” with 571,000. For comparison, the outlet says WHAM opened with 16 million Spotify streams on its first day and 2022’s It’s Only Me with 23.6 million, and that Fresh sits high on Apple Music’s U.S. chart. Official first-week numbers from Luminate haven’t been reported yet.

HotNewHipHop reads fan reaction as split, and says Baby has been answering critics online.

The missing collaboration is a Sabrina Carpenter song. Baby told The New York Times’ Popcast last month that he’s open to it, even if his hard drive is empty:

Even a Sabrina Carpenter — just say, for instance, in my head, I don’t have a song on my hard drive to send to her. But if we sit there and create something, or she sends me something, I feel like I could make it work.

On the podcast he also said “I’m still in that box a little bit, but I’m more open to stepping out of the box,” before naming Sabrina Carpenter.

Fresh grew out of “Dead Fresh,” the Pharrell-produced single that Pharrell premiered at Louis Vuitton’s spring-summer 2027 men’s show in June and that peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100. Baby now has 160 Hot 100 titles, including 13 top 10s, and four No. 1 albums, per Billboard. Album day was also “Ya Hit” day: Future dropped his single with Drake and Travis Scott, which fans joked would crowd Baby’s release, and he reposted Baby’s announcement in support, per Rolling Stone.
