While he was alive, Mac Miller released a string of top ten albums, six in all. In the years following his death in 2018, Miller hasn't lost his impact on the Billboard charts. His first posthumous album, Circles, hit the top five back in 2020. Five years later, Miller's estate released a follow-up album.
