As expected, Kemosabe/RCA’s Kesha wins this week’s chart battle by a landslide. The highly anticipated Rainbow—her first studio album in five years, and the only collection we know of to feature both Dolly Parton and Eagles of Death Metal—has officially gone #1 on the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart with 119k.  

The only other new release to make the Top 40 belongs to N-Less/Interscope’s Moneybagg Yo, whose Federal 3X comes on strong, bowing at #8 with 26k. Federal 3X is the debut album from the Memphis rapper, who was signed by Joie Manda and is managed by none other than Yo Gotti. 

It’s worth mentioning that two of the Top 5 albums belong to RCA, while another two are Interscope, as Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. (TDE/Interscope) holds at #2 and Imagine Dragons’ Evolve (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope) rises back up to #5 with north of 30k. 

Khalid’s American Teen (Right Hand/RCA) enjoys a nice bump, going #13-4 with 32k, after being discounted to $5.99 at iTunes. That said, current single “Young Dumb & Broke” jumps #23-12 on the Streaming Songs Chart as it climbs at Rhythm radio and prepares to chart at Pop; breakout hit “Location”—which peaked at #1 Urban radio and #3 at Rhythm (and is currently in the Pop Top 30)—is now #10 on the Streaming Songs Chart, as well. 

Following the release of a powerful, moving video that centers on a LGBTQ teen, Logic’s acclaimed Everybody (Def Jam) soars #42-24. 

And as the Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 DVD and Blu-ray prepares to come out (on 8/22), the movie’s soundtrack—out via Hollywood—re-enters the SPS Chart at #30.

[Save-Me-Oprah]

[Saintlor]

Amazing numbers!!! I hope she can go even higher

[Navyofbadgals]

OMG that would be amazing  

[Felipesf]

So she will beat Warrior 

[Lazuli]

Anything above 100k and I'll be ecstatic  

[Starkboy]

Very likely to happen. The iTunes pre-orders are big

[thatsmydemi]

That's amazing  

[DELE2125]

Not surprised. Queen is doing THAT!

 

[Brinny Baby]

Kesha pulled through! Opening 100K is a good ballpark number!

[rihsus]

beyond amazing for her

 

[Yourfavefan]

Holy **** if she legit makes those numbers i will be floored!!!

[illuminated]

Those are good numbers. Good for her tbh  

[Mark Rih]

Happy for her

[NumbSoul]

That's great, but tbh I did already think she would do 100k+... Maybe I'm delusional!

[gerardsuxx]

More than her last album Warrior in 2012  

[jezebelvictoria]

That's awesome. I wish her singles were doing better. 

[Tinashebanks]

Her SPS/Tea numbers will be huge for a non-pop girl pop artist 

[golden-girl]

Yasss! 

[Mindful]

Everything Dolly touches turns gold 

[Truth Teller]

Anything above 60k is amazing given the circumstances. If she somehow manages to actually hit six figures, that's a ****ing triumph

[Pepo]

Impressive 

[alex_katycat]

over 100k in SPS is great for an artist who was absent for 4 years  

[HeavyMetalAura]

If she does I'll be so happy. Either way I'm incredibly proud of her! 

 

Also, praying is one of, if not the best, lead single of the year.
