A new name has just walked into the Top 5 of the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart. Little Torment’s Henny Music 5 is a new entry at No.4 on this week’s Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart, covering 13 to 19 November, with a peak of No.4 and one week on the list.

Only three albums sit above it. Skepta’s The Fork and Knife is a new entry at No.1, the same album that entered the Official Albums Chart at No.4. Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black is at No.2, and The Kid Laroi’s Before I Forget is a re-entry at No.3.

Henny Music 5 is moving on downloads too. On the Official Album Downloads Chart for the same week, it debuts at No.7, again with a peak of No.7 and one week on the chart.

That is a sharp opening week: Top 5 on the genre albums list, Top 10 on downloads, and a clear space of its own behind a heavyweight new release and two catalogue titles. The Hip Hop and R&B Albums Chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company from sales of downloads, CDs, vinyl and other formats across a seven-day period, as the chart page sets out.

The rest of that Top 10 is mostly catalogues and established names. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill sits at No.5, Jamiroquai’s High Times – Singles 1992-2006 is at No.7, and Drake’s Take Care, The Eminem Show and Steve Lacy’s Oh Yeah fill out No.8 to No.10. Against that company, a new Little Torment album arriving at No.4, with only one week on the chart, is the story of the week on that list.

Keep the focus there, not on Skepta’s week. The Fork and Knife has its own write-up. This is about who came in right behind it, and about a debut week that already has a downloads Top 10 attached.

Why this matters: A new entry at No.4 on the genre albums chart is a serious opening week, and it deserves to be read as Little Torment’s result, not a footnote to someone else’s.
