The No. 2 debut solidified Rolling Papers 2 as a commercial success for Atlantic Records, reinforcing that whether he is making anthems for relaxation or club hits, Wiz Khalifa remains a formidable presence on the charts.

Singles like "Something New" featuring Ty Dolla $ign and "Hopeless Romantic" featuring Swae Lee kept the project in rotation on radio and playlists. The album also featured collaborations with heavy hitters like Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Wopo, Trouble, and Gucci Mane.

The Billboard 200 charts for the week ending July 26, 2018, told a story of stiff competition. While Wiz Khalifa secured a strong opening, he found himself locked in a battle for the top spot with one of the year's most dominant crossover hits.
