CHART STORY: TIMBERLAKE ON TOP

 

Fresh off his Super Bowl LII halftime performance, RCA’s Justin Timberlake dominates the Top 50 Chart, as fifth studio album Man of the Woods goes #1 with 296k. Migos’ Culture II (QC/Motown/Capitol), meanwhile, slides to #2, moving more than 90k in its second week out. The red-hot trio also has four songs in the Song Revenue Chart Top 10, with “Walk It Talk It” f/Drake at #2 ($167k+) and “Stir Fry” at #4 ($152k).

Three other new releases make the overall chart’s Top 20 this week. NOW’s Now 65 appears at #10, Rich Brian’s Amen (88rising/EMPIRE) is #16 and AWOLNATION’s Here Come the Runts (Red Bull) comes in at #18.

NF’s Perception (NF Real Music/Caroline) jumps #24-19, as breakout hit “Let You Down” continues to move up inside the Pop radio Top 10 with sights set on the Top 5. As for more noteworthy moves, Maroon 5’s Red Pill Blues (222/Interscope) rises #38-27 in tandem with the release of the “Wait” music video, which stars headline-grabbing actress Alexandra Daddario. And then there’s Warner Bros.’ Dua Lipa, whose eponymous album goes #34-28, as smash “New Rules” spends a second week at #1 on the Pop radio chart. It’s also worth mentioning that Dua just did SNL.

When it comes to marketshare, SME is #1 with 39%, UMG is #2 with 36% and WMG follows with 23%, while the indies claim 3%.

Streeting this week are TDE/Aftermath/Interscope’s Black Panther and Republic’s Fifty Shades Freed soundtracks, as well as a set from Columbia’s MGMT.

Is anyone expecting anything less from an album released during the Super Bowl week?  

Just now, Duca said:

What? Is that too high?

well duh he's performing at the super bowl

A legend with longevity

Whew, and with the Super Bowl this Sunday, he will do some NUMBERS.  Imagine being one of his haters.  It's gonna be a bad week for them.   

They hyping it up. "Super Big?" Then it better be pulling an Adele/Taylor debut numbers....

Hope He does to see atrl fume. 

 

Also so it’s a good album. I like it more than justified

20/20 did a little less than a million in 2013 with the strength of Suit & Tie. 

 

I’m gonna be a bit conservative and say maybe 600-700k neighborhood. Do we know how much he did in preorders?

"very big." how descriptive.

I would hope so since he's doing the Super Bowl 2 days after release.

 

Let's wait for some REAL numbers.

As expected

Deserved

 

Im wondering how much it would be

The second week will be tragic. I hope he at least does tour bundles to keep this mediocre **** up. 

But isn't he dead?

nope

if it's not 500,000+ with the SB then  

It was expected..  

Predicting 367k. 

I’m gonna call BS. Quote me later.

 

SB will soften the blow but I don’t see big numbers in the cards.
