Rick Ross returns to the charts with his 12th studio album, Set In Stone.
According to Hits Daily Double, the project will debut at No. 45 after earning 17,189 album-equivalent units in its opening week.
Released on July 17, 2026, the album sold 2,096 copies. It also generated 255 track-equivalent albums (TEA) and 14,837streaming-equivalent albums (SEA). Streaming made up the majority of the project’s first-week performance.
