After Taylor Swift’s catalog returned to all streaming platforms on June 9, four of the superstar’s five studio albums re-enter the Billboard 200 chart dated July 1, including 1989, which jumps straight back into the top 40 at No. 31. The album has been absent from the top 40 for more than a year. (The latest chart’s tracking week ended on June 15, and the chart in full is scheduled to be posted to Billboard’s websites on June 20.) Swift’s Red album bounces back to the chart at No. 88 (8,000 units, with a little more than 6,000 in SEA units: 9.51 million streams). Fearless also flies back onto the tally at No. 119 (6,000 units, of which 5,000 are SEA units, equaling 7.19 million streams), as does Speak Now at No. 133 (6,000 units; a little more than 4,000 SEA units: 6.7 million streams). http://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/chart-beat/7834065/taylor-swift-streaming-return-four-albums-billboard-200

Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" tops Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart for a 16th week, becoming one of only 20 titles to have led for at least that long since the chart premiered in 1961. The track debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 28, becoming one of only 27 singles to date to launch at the summit. On the latest Hot 100, "Can't Stop the Feeling!" spends its 40th week on the chart, at No. 25. Notably, with all of its weeks logged in the top 40 so far, "Feeling" is one of only eight singles in the Hot 100's 58-year history to spend its first 40 weeks or more in the region (an elite group led by Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply": 52 weeks in 1997-98). On Sunday, "Feeling" won the Grammy Award for best song written for visual media. On Feb. 26, we'll find out if the track also wins an Academy Award for best original song. Billboard
