Kris Wu's album is no longer in the top 200 iTunes albums ...

But fellow Chinese singer LAY is in the Top 10 with an album that debuted last week.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. Good point. Mandopop ... never had heard of such genre before.

It's just Mandarin pop music. They still take a lot from western pop and hip-hop like K-pop does.

Damn Barbra what happened?

denverd- the Album Sales chart is hardly the equivalent of the Singles Sales chart with those low titles. might it be one day? Perhaps. I know what you're saying, but the sales chart is still viable. Bundling is a good maneuver for veteran acts, and if executed properly, can be effective, but sometime even that can't compete with monstrous streaming totals.

Nose Ry- not content silencing them at all- that's what the multi-metric chart is for, not to mention the Hot 100.

[areyoureadytojump]

^Correct.

The week "A Star Is Born" debuted at #1, the Top 200 albums sold 1,141,727 copies.

That's still a lot of albums. What's the average price of an album today? $9.99? $10.99? $11.99?

THIS CHART STORY IS BOOMIN

Boominati/Republic stream warrior Metro Boomin has bowed at #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart, moving 99k with debut solo studio album NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. To clarify, his two prior full-lengths—October 2017’s Without Warning and December’s Double or Nothing—were collaborative efforts with Offset and 21 Savage, and then Big Sean.

Meanwhile, Migos member Takeoff’s The Last Rocket (QC/Motown/Capitol) and Kris Wu’s Antares (Ace Unit Culture Media/Interscope) debut at #4 and #5 with approximately 50k and 47k, respectively.

Other noteworthy debuts include Barbra Streisand’s Walls (Columbia), which enters at #11 with 35k, and Miranda Lambert-led trio Pistol Annies’ Interstate Gospel (RCA Nashville), which comes in at #13 with 31k. Also, at #16, Moneybagg Yo’s Reset (N-Less/Interscope) appears with nearly 30k.

This week’s big story, however, surrounds none other than fearless Freddie Mercury and the late icon’s band, Queen. A week after the release of movie Bohemian Rhapsody, the Hollywood soundtrack surges more than 200% to land at #3, moving 60k. In fact, Hollywood has a lot to celebrate, as the Queen Platinum Collection re-enters the chart at #12 with 33k and their Greatest Hits set re-enters at #36 with 16k. Ken Bunt has been Galileo, Galileo-ing for days now.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG leads with 67%, SME follows with 16% and WMG is #3 with 14%, while the indies claim 3%.

Streeting this week are projects by KidinaKorner/Interscope’s Imagine Dragons, RCA Nashville/Zone 4’s Kane Brown, Columbia’s Lil Peep, Warner Bros.’ Muse, Visionary/Capitol’s Jon Bellion, TenThousand’s Trippie Redd and Alamo/Interscope’s Lil Durk.

[areyoureadytojump]

Babs is #11. The BR Sdtk. is #3.

Oh dear at Barbra, barely above Pistol Annies

[wavey.]

Well that was a change of events.

[#LisaRinna]

ASIB is now at over 407k sold. #smash

[TroublemakerOlly]

Interesting to see Kris Wu and EXO both appear in Top 10.

[renfield75]

I wonder if this means Queen will top the Artist 100 chart this week?

[HolidayGuy]

Is Billboard's report delayed for last-minute counts that will get Barbra Streisand in the multi-metric top 10? (Sales-chart performance is what matters for her, though)

[rainie]

How did Kris Wu do so well? Was this another case of his label having way too much money to burn and buying a huge amount of his albums to inflate the figures?

His album was delayed in China because he wanted to put it out on his birthday. His Chinese fans were impatient, so they got it on the US iTunes, where it was already released.
