7 Things to Know About Ken Carson as ‘More Chaos’ Tops Billboard 200

Ken Carson topped the Billboard 200 with his 'More Chaos' album. Here are five things to know about the Opium artist.

The LP originally boasted 21 tracks free of features, but on release night, Carson excited the Opium faithful when he tacked on one collaboration — which united him with Destroy Lonely and Playboi Carti for the trio’s first song all together, “Off the Meter.” Carson’s rise was fueled by a pair of albums, Project X and X, before A Great Chaos arrived in October 2023, but that’s when the Atlanta native really made a quantum leap on the Billboard charts, proving he belonged. While he didn’t attend Yale University, Ken Carson picked up his own version of a diploma when he collected his first gold plaque with “Yale.” Released in 2020 as part of his Teen X EP, the track was gold-certified by the RIAA in October 2023.
