Having an actual Rock album at #1 would be a nice change of pace. BB categorized Brand New and LCD Soundsystem as "Rock," but neither of them are really Rock.

 

The FF shouldn't have to worry about the tremendous second week plunge suffered by the two above artists either. FF has a solid 20+ years in the music industry, AND FF already has two hits from their album.

CHART STORY: GOING FOR THE GOLD
 
Foo Fighters have topped this week’s Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart, as their ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold (Roswell/RCA), moves 130k units. This marks the fourth rock album to hit #1 this year, so throw some ****in’ goat, dammit!
 
The second highest-charting new release belongs to South Korean boy band BTS, whose slickly produced fifth album, Love Yourself: Her (Bighit Entertainment via The Orchard), can be found at #7 with nearly 31k. The album, which features a song called “Best of Me” that was co-written and co-produced by The Chainsmokers Andrew Taggart, immediately soared to #1 at iTunes in 73 territories upon release (including the States).

Two more albums end up debuting in the Top 15 this time around. Prophets of Rage’s eponymous project bows at #13 with north of 23k. And just below that (with a number that only differs by 100 or so units), the rockers of Nothing More and their independently released The Stories We Tell Ourselves (Better Noise) appear at #14. 

Meanwhile, on the Album Sales Chart, RCA duo Superfruit—consisting of Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying (from Pentatonix)—also make the Top 15. There, it looks like this: Foos #1, Prophets #2, Nothing More #3, BTS #5, Superfruit #7. 

As for noteworthy moves made on the SPS chart, last week’s #1, Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes (Valory/BMLG), enjoys a solid second week, earning another 41k. Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. (TDE/Interscope) returns to the Top 5 at #4, while the buzzing XXXTENTACION’s 17 (Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE) holds at #5. XXXTENTACION has three tunes on our Song Revenue Chart: “Jocelyn Flores” #7, “**** Love” #13 and “Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares” #34. By the way, in our nightmares, we usually don’t die; we’re just on a perpetual print deadline. 

Following the release of new single “rockstar,” which features 21 Savage, Post Malone’s Stoney (Republic) rises #16-9. In tandem with that move, “rockstar” impressively debuts at #1 on our Streaming Songs Chart. The track earns a monster 36.7m streams in its premier week, more than doubling the #2 song (“Bodak Yellow” by Cardi B) and surpassing the bow of Taylor Swift's “Look What You Made Me Do,” which adds 11.2m streams this week, good for #6 on that chart. 

Sticking with SPS, SZA’s CTRL (TDE/RCA) hops #14-11, Drake’s More Life (YMCMB/Republic) jumps #21-17, The Weeknd’s Starboy (XO/Republic) goes #26-21 and 2 Chainz’s Pretty Girls Like Trap Music (Def Jam) moves #30-27.

When it comes to the battle for SPS marketshare, SME leads with 40%, UMG is #2 with 35% and WMG is #3 with 19%, while the indies follow with 6%.

Streeting this week are sets from Island’s The Killers, BMG’s Fergie, Bendo/Warner Bros. Macklemore, Reach/Columbia’s Lecrae, Big Machine’s Midland and Warner Nashville’s Chris Janson, as well as Exile’s Van Morrison.
