*DEBUTS

[onebuffalo]

I hope some people are happy that The Carters are now outselling Five Seconds Of Summer.

[when the pawn...]

Incredible hold for Drake, no? At this projections, Scorpion would be down 15% at the most.

[nickd]

In My Feelings is really smashing hard and with the video yet to drop Scorpion will dominate for a while...

Also does this make reputation top 5 in pure sales?

It's doing better than Views.

Views second week: 313k | Scorpion second week: 335k
Views third week: 239k | Scorpion third week: 275-300k

Looks like people spoke too early with the first week projections.  :sip2:

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

Ok, but when is he gonna release a physical? And a tour bundle? I’m all for good stat-padding

[Naos]

Album sales are awful again...

Actually, Scorpion was released on physical on Friday, which is the reason why this week's sales are predicted to be better than last week's and it will avoid setting another record low in pure sales for a #1 in Top Album Sales. Also, they're helping third week SPS numbers to not fall that much.

Thanks for the correction! I knew the pure sales numbers looked noticeably larger than last week’s. That explains it!

[Mayman]

Lowest #1 pure sales record overtime:

66,000 Soundtrack "Dreamgirls" (Jan. 27, 2007)
52,000 Taylor Swift "Speak Now" (Jan. 22, 2011)
44,000 Cake "Showroom of Compassion" (Jan. 29, 2011)
40,000 Amos Lee "Mission Bell" (Feb 12, 2011)
30,000 Soundtrack "Descendants" (Aug. 22, 2015)
29,000 Drake "Scorpion" (Jul. 21, 2018)

Probably battling Pray for the Wicked. Although that new Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again soundtrack could possibly be above both.

[wayneashleymusic]

Good for Drake. He's mastered the new streaming/ album equivalent system, and is leading the way for lots of other artists to follow. I've never been a huge fan of his actual music, but I have to admit that whatever he does, he does it VERY well.

[Choco]

So basically Scorpion is doing the same as VIEWS was without the physical release bump. That's still remarkable, a lot of acts would kill for steady sales.

[fearlessarrow]

Is there any particular reason why Taylor’s back in the top 20? She bounced back last week on BB and it looks like she’s staying there according to these numbers. Is it the tour or...?

[areyoureadytojump]

^Reputation is #6 on Top Album Sales this week:

www.billboard.com/biz/charts/top-album-sales

I don't know if it was sale-priced?

Delicate is doing well so the album has been showing increases.

[Choco]

And her tour is currently back to the US until October, which always helps.

[#LisaRinna]

I'm wondering if the physical for Everything Is Love really did come out.

I'm not sure but probably not. 5k on actual sales would be tragic.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Everything is Love was available on CD since July 6. The report 6,118 pure sales from last week included those sales. So this week's numbers aren't as bad as they could be in that context.

CHART STORY: DRAKE DOES IT AGAIN

Friday, July 20, 2018

Drake’s Scorpion (YMCMB/Republic) is #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart for a third consecutive week. Down a mere 18%, it pulls in another 266k. It’s also worth noting that Republic labelmate Post Malone remains in the Top 3, down just 4% in week 12 with approximately 68k.

The highest-charting debut—and the only one to make the Top 20 this week—belongs to Atlantic’s Wiz Khalifa, whose Rolling Papers 2 appears at #2 with 80k.

As for some of the most significant movers, Maroon 5’s Red Pill Blues (222/Interscope) breaks back into the Top 10 while the red-hot single, “Girls Like You” f/Cardi B, rockets #27-8 on our Song Revenue Chart. Taylor Swift’s reputation (Big Machine) rises #19-14 right before “Delicate” goes #1 at Pop radio. She kicks off the first of three nights at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium tonight (7/20) before wrapping her massive tour up with two nights Mass’ Gillette Stadium.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 64%, WMG follows with 25% and SME is #3 with 9%, while the indies claim 2%.

Streeting this week are sets from Columbia’s The Internet, Big Loud’s Mason Ramsey, CN/Triple Tigers’ Lori McKenna and 88rising/12 Tone’s 88rising, as well as Rick Astley.

On an unrelated note, it seems like plastic straws have officially been deemed wasteful and unnecessary scraps of villainy. In other words, we are the plastic straw of the music industry.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Scorpion is predicted to have broken its record-low set last week in pure sales for a #1 in Top Album Sales in spite of its released on CD this week, but its song are predicted to have gotten just under 336 million weekly audio streams.

Looks like it'll break it again next week.
