NEW RELEASES: LIONS ON THE LOOSE

Beastmode 2 (Freebandz/Epic), the second volume of Future’s mixtape series, surprise-dropped on 7/6 amid a sparse holiday release schedule, will be the top debut on the HITS’ Top 50 Albums Chart next Friday. Here’s what we know today.

Future (Freebandz/Epic) 50-60k total activity (streaming only)
Meek Mill (Atlantic) 22-26k, 4-7k album

Meanwhile, Drake continues to dominate Apple Music and Spotify with tracks from his chart-topping, record-breaking YMCMB/Republic set Scorpion, but Future’s latest has begun to infiltrate the various streaming charts.

[Enigma.]

3 songs in AM top ten and only 50-60k? Even Drake doesn't seem to do miracles there any more then

Isn't that a bit low for Meek as well?

[Naos]

Well, nothing's going to get close to challenging Drake for a bit, but didn't think it'd be this bad. I have a feeling next week will be awful for album sales.

It's an EP

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^It only has 4 songs. They're doing poorly in Apple Music and even worse in Spotify.

[willapted33]

hopefully Future's tape can do more like 70k, his best release since EVOL imo

*DEBUTS

[Glove Slap]

Terrible numbers for both Future and Meek.

[kanfad]

Damn, great hold for Scorpion

238k 2nd week from DAMN. (87k physical)

105k 2nd week from KOD.

193k 2nd week from beer bongs & bentley’s

And for ref More Life did 226k 2nd week and Views did 313k

[Naos]

A pathetic week for sales. Probably will only get like, 5-6 with 10,000 sold.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^A couple of other things I noticed: if Scorpion is #1 in Top Album Sales, that will, fittingly, finally break the record low for a #1 there beating the Descendants Sountrack low. I'm actually surprised that record managed to stay for long as it has.

Also, only three albums in the top 20 are predicted to have more than 10k in pure sales. If that's true for the rest of Top Album Sales, it would also mark the least albums in a week passing that threshold.

Drake still breaking records in his second week ;)

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. Too bad God's Plan record low for sales for a #1 Digital Song Sales was surpassed. Otherwise, Drake could hold both record sales lows for #1s.

[Linnethia Monique]

5. Cardi B (Atlantic) 43-47k, 2-3k

Dragging your faves!

We managed so many weeks of good enough sales to be above Descandant's record low and the record gets broken a week after a strong debut

[pnobelysk]

If drake was out physically too we wouldn’t have to be worrying about lowest sales weeks quite yet

Yep. Physical copies are out on the 13th so had he released earlier the record would have been safe.

[Deleted]

I was thinking this new conscious Meek would be bigger post-jail with all the stuff around him but I guess not. Nicki wins again.

it's a 4 song EP....

if he used the Drake tactic and released some 20 song shit it would have done 100k

[Enigma.]

325k would be 56% drop, that's quite in line with other streaming heavy albums I'd say. B&B dropped 58%, IOP only 49% and Black Panther 24% but that was related to movie release

[Glove Slap]

I'm curious in seeing how many weeks Drake can do above 200k.

I can easily see 2-3 more weeks so it might stay at #1 for a while.

CHART STORY: THE SIX GOD'S SECOND WEEK

Friday, July 13, 2018

Drake has another commanding #1 this week with YMCMB/Republic set Scorpion, as the Six God scores with 325k and continues his reign over the HITS Top 50 Chart.

Republic labelmate Post Malone hops #3-2, tacking on another 71k for beerbongs & bentleys in the set’s 11th week out. Talk about stamina. It’s also worth noting that Posty’s got two albums in the Top 15; 2016’s Stoney can be found at #15 with 23k.

The highest-charting debut, however, belongs to Freebandz/Epic’s Future, whose streaming-only BEASTMODE 2 enters at #3 with 54k. The next-biggest bow comes from Meek Mill’s Legends of the Summer (Atlantic), which lands at #10 with around 27k.

As for the other noteworthy movers, Grade A/Interscope’s Juice WRLD and QC/Motown/Capitol’s Lil Baby—both streaming warriors—enjoy nice bumps. With 42k, Juice WRLD’s Goodbye & Good Riddance, which houses “Lucid Dreams,” the hit single that’s currently #4 on HITS’ Streaming Songs Chart, rises to #6. And with 27k, Lil Baby’s Harder Than Ever busts back into the Top 10, powered by the rapper’s Drake collaboration, “Yes Indeed”—now #12 on the Streaming Songs chart.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 66%, WMG follows with 20% and SME is #3 with 10%, while the indies claim 4%.

Streeting this week is Capitol’s soundtrack to the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again movie, which will hit theaters on Friday, 7/20. We now invite you to try and get the image of Steve Barnett twirling around to ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” out of your head. Good luck!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Only 3 albums are predicted to have sold more than 10k pure sales, which along with Scorpion's record low of around 28k for a #1 in Top Album Sales would set all-time lows.

Just read that Descendants got 30k, looks like Drake will break the record.

[forg]

It likely will but I wonder if Billboard will take note of that record in the article. Billboard.biz maybe but not sure with the main site

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^They tend other overlook record lows ...
