Morgan Wallen’s ‘Last Night’ Notches 15th Week Atop Hot 100, Travis Scott, Dua Lipa Hit Top 10

 

 

Quote

Wallen’s “Last Night,” released on Big Loud/Mercury/Republic Records, drew 67.2 million radio airplay audience impressions (down 10%) and 26.7 million streams (down 8%) and sold 7,000 downloads (down 11%) in the July 28-Aug. 3 tracking week, according to Luminate.

 

As “Last Night” leads the Hot 100 for a 15th week, rising from No. 2, it ties for the fourth-longest domination in the chart’s history. It also ties Harry Styles’ “As It Was” for the longest rule for a song by an act with no accompanying artists.

 

Longest-Leading Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s:

19, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, beginning April 13, 2019
16, “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, May 27, 2017
16, “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, Dec. 2, 1995

14, “Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Jan. 17, 2015
14, “I Gotta Feeling,” The Black Eyed Peas, July 11, 2009
14, “We Belong Together,” Mariah Carey, June 4, 2005
14, “Candle in the Wind 1997”/“Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Elton John, Oct. 11, 1997

14, “I’ll Make Love to You,” Boyz II Men, Aug. 27, 1994
14, “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney Houston, Nov. 28, 1992

 

Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” rebounds for a fourth week at its No. 2 Hot 100 high on the Hot 100, from No. 3, led by a 4% gain to 77.4 million in radio reach.

 

Travis Scott launches two tracks in the Hot 100’s 10, each in the top five: “Meltdown,” featuring Drake (No. 3), and “FE!N,” featuring Playboi Carti (No. 5). The songs start with 32.2 million and 25.6 million streams, respectively.

 

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” climbs 6-4 on the Hot 100, four years after its release on her 2019 album Lover, as it’s now being promoted as a single, while she has been performing the song on her The Eras Tour. It takes the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award (up 10% to 64.4 million in audience) for a sixth consecutive week, the longest streak since Jack Harlow’s “First Class” linked six straight wins in April-June 2022.

 

Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” backtracks 5-6 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3, as it spends a seventh week atop Radio Songs (89.2 million, down 2%).

 

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” reaches the region, ascending 12-10 with 42.3 million in airplay audience (up 5%), 15.3 million streams (up 6%) and 6,000 sold (down 3%).

 

Notably, a week after Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, the song tumbles to No. 21, down 47% to 16.2 million streams and 85% to 26,000 sold, although it spends a third week at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales; it’s also up 35% to 11.8 million in radio audience. The song is the sixth to fall from No. 1 to a rank on the chart outside the top 20, after Jimin’s “Like Crazy” (1-45; April 15, 2023); Taylor Swift’s “Willow” (1-38; Jan. 2, 2021); 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj’s “Trollz” (1-34; July 4, 2020); BTS’ “Life Goes On” (1-28; Dec. 12, 2020); and Travis Scott’s “Franchise,” featuring Young Thug and M.I.A. (1-25; Oct. 17, 2020).

 

 

Travis Scott Lands Third No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With ‘Utopia’

 

 

Quote

Utopia is Scott’s third No. 1 and first solo album since 2018’s Astroworld, which started atop the chart. 

 

Of Utopia’s 477,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 3, SEA units comprise 243,000 (equaling 330.68 million on-demand official streams of the streaming set’s 19 total songs – the second-biggest streaming week of 2023), album sales comprise 252,000 (the second-largest sales week of 2023) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

 

Streaming activity comprises nearly half (49%) of Utopia’s first-week activity, with almost all of the remainder generated by album sales. The set’s streaming activity was so robust that the album would have been No. 1 from only its SEA units (and still have twice the total units of the No. 2 album on the chart, Post Malone’s Austin). The most-streamed song on the Utopia album, by official on-demand streams, is “Meltdown,” featuring Drake. It accounted for nearly 10% of the album’s streams during the week.

 

Utopia is available with three different track lists: a standard 18-song edition through all major digital retailers (including the iTunes Store and Amazon), a 19-song set at digital retail and streamers (which includes the song “Meltdown,” featuring Drake), and a 19-song version available on CD, vinyl and a “First Edition” digital album sold through Scott’s webstore (that includes the song “Aye” with Lil Uzi Vert). 

 

Utopia’s sales were also enhanced by its availability across five CD variants (each with a different cover), five vinyl LP variants (with different covers and color vinyl), 15 deluxe boxed sets – each containing a piece of branded clothing and a copy of the album on CD or vinyl, six zine/CD deluxe editions (where a copy of the CD is housed inside a magazine-like package branded to the album), and two Fan Pack offers in which customers could choose to purchase a copy of the CD or vinyl LP with a piece of branded merchandise for a discounted price. Initially, the assorted CD and vinyl album cover art was not displayed to customers on Scott’s webstore. When fans placed orders, they selected one of five covers, not knowing what the final design would look like. Eventually, closer to street date, the cover art for all variants was revealed. Alongside merch drops, the webstore promoted discounted pricing on the Utopia album – going as low as $4.99 for its digital album.

 

In total, Utopia sold 252,000 copies in its first week. Of that sum, digital downloads comprise 111,000 (with 79% of that sum from the “First Edition” variant), CD sales comprise 63,000 (80% of that figure were CDs housed in boxed sets and zine packages) and vinyl sales comprise 79,000 (30.5% were vinyl housed in boxed sets). Of the album’s 252,000 sold across all formats (digital download, CD and vinyl), deluxe boxed sets and zine packages combined to sell 30% of that figure (about 75,000 of 252,000).

 

Utopia’s vinyl sales were so big, they mark the largest sales week for an R&B/hip-hop or rap album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

 

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Post Malone scores his fifth consecutive and total top five-charting set as Austin launches with 113,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 78,000 (equaling 101.14 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 songs), album sales comprise 34,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000.

 

The set was available to purchase across five CD variants (four with alternative covers, one of which includes a bonus track), three vinyl LPs (including a Target-exclusive color variant), a cassette tape, four digital download variants (each with a different cover, exclusive to his official webstore), and two Fan Pack offers. In addition, the album was issued in a deluxe version in the middle of its first tracking week, with a new bonus track added, “Joy.”

 

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time is a non-mover at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, shifting 96,000 equivalent album units (down 7%). It’s the first time the album has fallen below 100,000 units in a single week, in its 22nd week on the chart. The set earned in excess of 100,000 equivalent album units in its first 21 chart weeks, the most weeks of 100,000-plus units since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by units in December of 2014.

Of Utopia’s 477,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 3...

 

Edit: for context, those quotes are from the same BB article. First they say it sold 496k units, but later on they said they were 477k

[BrokenMachine]

They drag him for having around +30 versions and selling the album for $4.99 tho

Yeah, I saw that too. However, I believe the 496k is the actual one because of the breakdown: 252k pure + 243k SEA + 1k TEA.

Finally, one more top 10 for Dua 

[fridayteenage]

I'm confused at the bundle rule.

So they say the 2 fanpacks are not the same as the 15 boxsets bundling merch with cd.

So essentially there is allowable unlimited bundle options as long as they are in a box?

[Cain]

Duallah wins yet again

Why didn't you put Barbie World in the title thread? Yall really need to give Nicki some light on the success she is making right now.

C'mon now, the movie is massive, with multiple songs smashing, even Charli XCX got her first Hot 100 entry in 9 years, let's not paint a picture where Nicki is the main reason the song smashed.
