Doechii just keeps getting bigger, seemingly by the day, and Alligator Bites Never Heal is growing by leaps and bounds on the charts. The rising hip-hop superstar's mixtape, which dropped in August 2024, has only picked up steam since its release. Months after winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, the project is still reaching new heights, and this frame, it surges back onto several U.K. rankings – even leading the charge on several rosters.
Alligator Bites Never Heal appears on five U.K. music charts. It didn't land on any of them just a few days ago, though it's also not new to any of the lists. Doechii doesn't just reclaim space on these tallies — she manages a new career best on every single one where her breakout effort can now be found.
Among the five tallies where Alligator Bites Never Heal reappears, two stand out above the rest. This week, the mixtape hits No. 1 on both the Official Vinyl Albums and the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums charts. These wins mark Doechii's first-ever No. 1 placements on albums rosters in the U.K.
As if two No. 1s weren't enough, Doechii also earns a pair of top 10 appearances on other tallies. Alligator Bites Never Heal reenters the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 4. Meanwhile, it settles at No. 5 on the Official Albums Sales roster. Both placements are new personal bests for the rapper.
Over on the U.K.'s most competitive album ranking, the Official Albums chart, which blends sales and streaming data, Alligator Bites Never Heal also scores a major new win. The Grammy-winning mixtape reenters at No. 40, and this week marks the first time it's cracked the top 40.
While Alligator Bites Never Heal continues climbing, the set's big single "Denial Is a River' remains on four U.K. charts, helping keep attention focused on the Grammy winner's current era. However, it's an older tune — "Anxiety" — that's managing an even bigger resurgence.
Originally released as a standalone single years ago, "Anxiety" recently went viral, and a brand new music video Doechii dropped to capitalize on its newfound popularity is helping it continue to soar. The Gotye-sampling track is truly thriving in the U.K., appearing on five separate tallies this frame. It even debuts on one and sits comfortably inside the top 10 on four others.
