Machine Gun Kelly has become a mainstream star with No. 1 albums and platinum singles — but his least commercially successful effort remains his definitive artistic statement.

Driving the news: Last week, MGK released "Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition" to mark the fifth anniversary of his fourth studio album.

Flashback: "Hotel Diablo" arrived July 5, 2019, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

Its first week sales of 39,000 equivalent album units is the lowest of MGK's career.

Yes, but: The album resonated with fans due to its personal subject matter such as drug use, thoughts of suicide and struggles with fame.

The intrigue: The "Floor 13 Edition" has six extra songs, including a live version of "Floor 13" from MGK's stadium concert in Cleveland on Aug. 13, 2022.

Other bonus features include the rap song "El Pistolero" and an acoustic version of "I Think I'm Okay" with Yungblud and Travis Barker.

Worthy of your time: MGK has released a new line of "Hotel Diablo" merchandise as part of the anniversary.
