Fans Choose Gunna’s ‘The Last Wun’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Gunna‘s The Last Wun tops this week’s new music poll.

In a poll published Friday (Aug. 8) on Billboard, music fans chose the Atlanta rapper’s sixth studio album as their favorite new release of the past week.

The Last Wun brought in nearly 57% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like MGK (Lost Americana), Laufey (“Snow White”), Jonas Brothers (Greetings From Your Hometown) and Ethel Cain‘s (Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You).

The 25-track album, the follow-up to last year’s One of Wun, includes the singles “Won’t Stop” and “Him All Along,” and features collaborations with Offset, Wizkid, Asake, Burna Boy and Nechie.

Given the finality suggested by the project’s title, fans have speculated that this may be Gunna’s last release under YSL Records/300 Entertainment. His relationship with the label — founded by Young Thug — has become increasingly complicated in the wake of the high-profile YSL RICO trial.

“It’ll come to me just through life and just living,” Gunna told Uproxx in June, describing his creative process. “So for this album in particular, it’s no theme. It’s in current time of what’s happening with me.”

Gunna last topped the Billboard 200 with 2022’s DS4EVER. All of his solo albums have landed in the top three on the chart and reached No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart.

MGK’s Lost Americana secured second place in the poll with 13% of the vote. The rootsy folk album marks the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly’s first full-length Americana project, following a run of hip-hop and pop-punk releases. The “Other” category came in third, earning nearly 9% of the vote.
