Renan90 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Taylor Swift Rules Billboard 200 for Third Week With 'The Tortured Poets Department' Plus: Dua Lipa and SEVENTEEN debut in the top five. Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department spends a third straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated May 18), marking her first title to spend its first three weeks atop the chart since 2020's Folklore spent its first six weeks at No. 1. (Between Folklore and the new album, Swift earned six No. 1 albums.) The Tortured Poets Department is the first album to spend its first three weeks in the pole position since Travis Scott's Utopia led in its first four weeks last summer (Aug. 12-Sept. 2, 2023). The Tortured Poets Department earned 282,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending May 9 (down 36%), according to Luminate. That marks the largest third-week for any album since Swift's own Midnights clocked 299,000 units in its third frame (Nov. 19, 2022-dated chart). Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Dua Lipa achieves her highest-charting album yet, as Radical Optimism debuts at No 2. Plus, SEVENTEEN logs its fifth top 10-charting effort with the No. 5 arrival of SEVENTEEN Best Album '17 Is Right Here.' 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, compiled by Luminate. 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 May 18, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on May 14.

The seething rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake spills into the upper reaches of the latest Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, tilted in the former's favor. Lamar's "Not Like Us" launches at No. 1, while his "Euphoria" soars 11-3 in its second week on the survey. Plus, Future, Metro Boomin and Lamar's former three-week leader "Like That" reignites 8-6. Meanwhile, Drake debuts at No. 7 with his top-charting entry in the clash, "Family Matters." Lamar lands his fourth Hot 100 No. 1 and ups his career count to 15 top 10s. Drake adds his record-extending 78th Hot 100 top 10. As previously analyzed, the rappers' feud dates back at least a decade, while the latest chapter heightened in March with the release of "Like That," in which Lamar's verse serves up alleged disses at Drake and J. Cole. Since then, Lamar, Drake, J. Cole and other hip-hop luminaries, including A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, The Weeknd and Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), have all been involved, either as targets or hurling their own disses. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated May 18, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 14.

Cruel Summer Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Quote marking her first title to spend its first three weeks atop the chart since 2020's Folklore spent its first six weeks at No. 1. (Between Folklore and the new album, Swift earned six No. 1 albums.) Screaming at the casual line about the six other #1 albums in between, her chart performance is so unserious at this point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
