First album, Blue Slide Park, hits number one… with an indie release no less, which we gotta give a nod for.

Rap newcomer Mac Miller has made U.S. chart history by becoming the first act in over 15 years to debut an independently-distributed first album at number one.The young star’s first release, Blue Slide Park, has entered the Billboard 200 in the top spot with 144,000 sales.
