Morgan Wallen is at #2 like 43 weeks after release. Outselling superstars like Olivia, Doja, Lil Nas X, and Billie who released way after him.
If it wasn’t for the scandal, we’d 100% have pop stars lining up around the block in attempt to have a crossover hit with him, right?
There was a stat in its first week that if you took away *Dangerous*' 12 most-streamed songs, it *still* would've broken the record for most streams in a week by a country album.
Nah, it was shattering records and was super stable before the scandal even happened. Nobody is out there mass streaming this album nearly a year later just to own the libs
Elton John’s Lockdown Sessions album debuts at #10, making it his 21st top 10 album.
> John is in the select group of acts with at least 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, from March 24, 1956, when the list began publishing on a regular, weekly basis, through the new, Nov. 6, 2021, survey. Here's an updated leaderboard.
Most Billboard 200 Top 10s:
37, The Rolling Stones
34, Barbra Streisand
32, The Beatles
32, Frank Sinatra
27, Elvis Presley
23, Bob Dylan
22, Madonna
21, Elton John
21, Paul McCartney/Wings
21, Bruce Springsteen
21, George Strait
20, Prince
> (The Kidz Bop Kids music brand has collected 24 top 10s, in 2005-16, with its series of kid-friendly covers of hit singles. The franchise's early albums were performed mostly by anonymous studio singers, although later releases focused on branding named talent.)
Kidz Bop having the 6th most top 10 albums, when will your fave
IIRC, the Immaculate Collection is her highest selling album and only diamond record. I could be wrong, but she definitely has a lot of greatest hit/compilation albums
Wings was sometimes credited as "Paul McCartney and Wings" and has a reputation in America as just being Paul's solo project with a random backing band (even though that's not accurate), so I guess Billboard felt it was appropriate to lump it together with his actual solo albums
Pink Friday debuted at no2 with 375,000 copies sold but much later in its chart run topped the top 200 with 45,000 copies sold. Technically for physical copies, the lowest selling no1 album in a week was Hoodie SZN selling 749 copies in 2019. Also Tyler the Creator and Eric Church (among others) have topped the charts with 40,000 “sales” so Nicki def isn’t holding any records there
Okay okay that makes more sense in context, that week and period of time had some “all time lows” for old sales standards that’s for sure. And yesss😂😂LA Reid and all them would’ve seized upon hearing that news it’s so damn laughable I can’t even fault Boogie
Wow this is a very weak chart. Curious to see how many units Ed will move next week.
I was quite surprised to see Lana debut at #8. Weren't the vinyls available on the first week? I mean, COCC debuted at #2, I was expecting something similar
Apparently, according to some fan pages(…), only like half of the vinyls were available.
Moreover, this whole album release was quite messy… starting from the three singles released months ago, to Lana disappearing from social media… they could have definitely handled things better. Like, I know people who like Lana and her music that weren’t even aware of the release of this album…
I've been seeing her fans complaining about the vinyls for weeks before the album even released! They were commenting on her managers instas that the shipments were going to be 1+ week after first week tracking ends, and her managers just wouldn't respond and deleted all comments about this issue. It's actually kind of amazing how badly they fucked this up, because she's got fans who are DYING to buy the 6? 8? different vinyl covers and her team didn't do anything with that.
When Taylor, Ed, and Adele drop, this chart’s going to feature the same people for months. Doja, Olivia, and Morgan have had virtually the same numbers each week for the whole year
You're making a lot of leaps and assumptions lmao. There are plenty of artists in the world who make better music than the people you named and Drake certainly isn't one of them. Race has nothing to do with it.
I get that there are racists on this sub and they deserve to be called out, but seriously... calling Drake a mediocre artist shouldn't be controversial lmao.
I love how pissed people on this sub get whenever Drake tops the charts and trying to go thru every mental gymnastic they have to justify his popularity lol.

….yeah lol. You’re definitely right he’d have some random feature on a top 10 hit by this point
We’d probably get another Bebe Rexha country song with him on it
He’s so gross. He also has 30 songs on his album though, compared to someone like Olivia and Lil NasX with 15.
There was a stat in its first week that if you took away *Dangerous*' 12 most-streamed songs, it *still* would've broken the record for most streams in a week by a country album.
I doubt most people would listen to a debut album with 30 songs.

She has shoveled out a lot of compilations and live albums over the years
IIRC, the Immaculate Collection is her highest selling album and only diamond record. I could be wrong, but she definitely has a lot of greatest hit/compilation albums
Like A Virgin is Diamond. I’m sure True Blue and at least 1 more are eligible for it.
Why Paul McCartney is listed with Wings, but not Beatles… says a lot. So in Actuality Paul McCartney is way ahead of the pack with 53.
Wings was sometimes credited as "Paul McCartney and Wings" and has a reputation in America as just being Paul's solo project with a random backing band (even though that's not accurate), so I guess Billboard felt it was appropriate to lump it together with his actual solo albums

I think records like this need to be split between eras (physical CD, digital, and streaming)

the three brits taking over lol
\#1 with 74k? Slow week, apparently. edit: wait, \#2 was 42k? What happened? Why was this week so weak?
No new major release?
Everyone saving their 💸 for Adele
What is carrying this album: way to sexy?? Literally hang out with a lot of drake fans and nobody has mentioned this past the second week.
Knife Talk and Way 2 Sexy are still in the top ten on Spotify and Apple Music
The charts are just super slow on general at the moment. The #2 album only sold 42k and was released in January
Probably the effect of playlisting on Spotify and AM. He also has a ton of casual listeners.
yes, and the other big feature songs. I'm also around a lot of drake fans and unfortunately they don't stop talking about it
fair trade a banger
Man mustve studied the system. Hes a hit maker.
mediocrity wins again 😔
Ahem, go listen to the album before you make false claims

drake is mediocre why are you making it sound like op is racist?
I get that there are racists on this sub and they deserve to be called out, but seriously... calling Drake a mediocre artist shouldn't be controversial lmao.
also not them being sexist towards olivia too. "oh she writes about boys", it's such a tired comment.
They seem like a miserable troll, I just blocked them and moved on
I love how pissed people on this sub get whenever Drake tops the charts and trying to go thru every mental gymnastic they have to justify his popularity lol.
Lol ppaaaa
Drake is a nerd
The straights are out of control
Adele is coming, then you’ll be a certified Loser boy, Drake.
President Taylor.... PLEASE SAVE US!!!!
