Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous' No. 1 for Fifth Week on Billboard 200 While 'If I Know Me' Hits Top 10 for First Time

 

Plus: The Weeknd, Foo Fighters and Pooh Shiesty debut in top 10.

Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album continues to rule the Billboard 200 chart for a fifth straight week, while Wallen’s previous set, 2018’s If I Know Me, reaches the top 10 for the first time.

 

Dangerous earned 150,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 11 (up 1%), according to MRC Data. Dangerous bowed atop the list four weeks ago, on the chart dated Jan. 23. It’s just the third album to spend five weeks at No. 1 in the last 12 months, following Taylor Swift’s Folklore (eight weeks) and Lil Baby’s My Turn (five weeks). My Turn and Folklore were also the two most popular albums of 2020, according to MRC Data.

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 20, 2021-dated chart (where Dangerous is steady at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Feb. 17 (one day later than usual, owed to the Presidents’ Day holiday in the U.S. on Feb. 15).

Woah

[allforyou]

not his sales increasing despite the controversy 

 

also his album just became the first country album to spend 5 weeks at #1 since Shania's Up  

[Skirt]

Yikes. 

[Mrguilbeaux]

Dangerous is right

[Hector]

This country still disgustingly supporting a racist

It’s first 5 weeks, not 5 weeks

fearless 11/speak now 6/red 7

[Illuminati]

Publicity gave him more exposure, it's not just that the racists are doing this in support but also people who were generally unaware who he was streaming out of curiosity etc.

Hot 100 delayed on Tuesday

 

[Feanor]

He benefitted a lot from the controversy and curiosity streams this week.

If he however smashes next week too, then him being "cancelled" will truly have meant nothing.  Sad.

The Weeknd really shot himself in the foot with that gh. I'm sure he thought it would be an easy #1.

His streams are still very stable, so he will get a 6th week at #1 (his album is #2 on Apple Music and #1 on itunes right now)

 

Plus in the streaming era "cancelled artists" with a solid fanbase can still do good numbers without any airplay. XXXTentation was doing great numbers without airplay support even before his death because he had a solid fanbase.

[Quenn]

Absolutely disgusting

[Rev8]

WWait, so Morgan got another week at 1#, 2 weeks after SB happened?

wtf merica

[wehavetostan]

After Hours moved 4-37 with the release of The Highlights, so I wonder how both albums will perform in the coming weeks

[Green]

After Hours is top 10 on itunes and The Highlights is #35 so this means they should count the SPS for After Hours for next week's chart.

[Green]

The Highlights boasts 11 of The Weeknd’s 12 top 10-charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Among the album’s songs are two that are also on his most recent studio album, 2020’s After Hours: “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears.” The TEA and SEA units for both songs contribute to The Highlights on the chart as a song’s activity is assigned to the artist’s album with the most sales in a week. (After Hours sold 6,000 copies in the latest tracking week, while The Highlights sold 10,000. Due to the track reassignment, After Hours moves 4-37 on the Billboard 200, with 15,000 units earned – down 57%.)

 

In total, The Highlights is The Weeknd’s seventh top 10 album, the entirety of his charting efforts – and all of them have reached the top five of the list.

[BGood2Me]

Arithe only female in top10

[OrgVisual]

Only 1 female while 3 MAGA are in top 10

Ffff wasn't he dropped from his label? mess

Juice WRLD's posthumous release still slaying. That album doesn't get enough credit

ikr? since he dropped from label does it means all the sales and streams income will go straight to his pocket? mess 

[State of Grace.]

Of course he gained new fans

He isn't dropped, just 'suspended' - and those numbers mean the suspension will be very short-lived - but even if he were dropped, the ex-label would still collect their due.

I'm curious, though, about The Weeknd's Highlights. It is certain that next week the streams for the songs on After Hours will revert to the original album and it's quite possible that the Starboy songs will too. If album songs on Beauty Behind the Madness pick up just a bit more, Highlights will be left with only pure sales, so it will plummet - out of the top100 for sure, but possibly out of the top 150.
