Morgan Walen’s ‘Dangerous’ Spends Ninth Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200, Most Since 2016

 

Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album logs a ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, all consecutively, after having arrived atop the list eight weeks ago (chart dated Jan. 23).

 

Dangerous now has the most weeks at No. 1 among all albums since Drake’s Views scored 13 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2016. Dangerous is also one of just four country albums ever to spend at least nine weeks in the lead.

 

Dangerous earned 78,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending March 11 (down 6%), 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 March 20, 2021-dated chart (where Dangerous is No. 1 for a ninth week) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on March 16.

Drake Makes Historic Hot 100 Start at Nos. 1, 2 & 3, Led by 'What's Next'

Drake is the first artist ever to debut three songs in the top three simultaneously.

The lyrics of Drake's new song "What's Next" have proven prophetic, as the track debuts at numero uno on the Billboard Hot 100 (aka, the "Hot one hundo"). He also becomes the first artist to enter the chart at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously, as the song is joined by his "Wants and Needs,"

featuring Lil Baby, new at No. 2, and "Lemon Pepper Freestyle," featuring Rick Ross, new at No. 3.

 

The tracks were released March 5 on OVO Sound/Republic Records (packaged under the title "Scary Hours 2").

 

With "What's Next," Drake adds his eighth Hot 100 No. 1, while the three songs up his total to a record-extending 45 top 10s. Drake also joins The Beatles and Ariana Grande as the only acts ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the Hot 100 simultaneously.

 

 

Meanwhile, the week's top four songs on the Hot 100 are all debuts for the first time in the chart's six-decade history -- as, below Drake's three-song launch, Silk Sonic's "Leave the Door Open" enters at No. 4. The duo comprises Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.

 

Plus, as it cedes the Hot 100's summit after eight weeks at No. 1, Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License" takes over atop the Radio Songs chart.

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated March 20) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (March 16). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Future Nostalgia #6 

It would be a dream if Dua wins AOTY and her album re-peaks. I believe it only peaked at #4 in the US on its debut week.

He snatched folklore, I hate it here  

 

someone stop this ****ing racist rat

This is just insane for an album run, he's so lucky nobody's dropping.

Oh wow

I blame this on SJWs

Historic run tbh.

Dua 

The way After Hours keeps switching positions with The Highlights

really?!

and people dare shade The Moonlight Edition as being a waste when it is literally giving the album a massive second wind on the US charts  F-words never learn. Slay Dua and keep racking up those weeks in the top 10 for the end of year charts  2x platinum is coming sooner than the haters thot. 

Smh America never change.

 

I also cant with The Weeknd's yo-yoing with his two albums. Serving Folklore's 2020 chart run.

Congrats Morgan! Its a great album. 

Morgan still #1

Morgan being #1 for so long is so predictably American, unfortunately. 
 

Also not Miss Zara debuting at #170.  She needs to hop on a high profile collab, if she can get one. 

Disgusting

Legend of Rap 

Bruno would have been #1 if Drake had not released.

Wow! Umm Drake did that!

Drake and Bruno 

Bruno was robbed

Drake legend

Amazing debut for Bruno too, he's possibly going #1 next week isn't he?

 

and Abel still top 10 with 2 songs

His power.
