HITS 1/4: 21 Savage #1 61k

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

CHART STORY: A SAVAGE NEW YEAR

Friday, January 4, 2019

Slaughter Gang/Epic’s 21 Savage is starting the new year on top, as his 12/21 release, i am > i was, appears at #1 on 2019’s first Top 50 Chart. The set moved 61k in its second week out.

Meanwhile, Post Malone’s two-times platinum beerbongs & bentleys (Republic) spends its 36th week out at #3, moving another 46k. The label’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack—on which Post’s collab with Swae Lee, “Sunflower,” lives—can be found at #5 with 43k.

Another needle-moving soundtrack, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born set (Interscope), rounds out the Top 10 in its 13th week out.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 51%, WMG follows with 32% and SME is #3 with 14%, while the indies claim 3%.

Streeting in the next few weeks are Columbia’s Bring Me the Horizon (1/11), Freebandz/Epic’s Future (1/18), Capitol’s Maggie Rogers (1/18), Island’s Mike Posner (1/18) and RCA’s Backstreet Boys (1/25).

So, there ya have it. Yes, we’re back at work, but don’t be fooled; we’re still drunk. Is it Grammy time yet?

Does that mean we're getting SPS and sales charts tonight? Thanks!

That’s five soundtracks in the top 10 sales.... has that ever been eclipsed?!?

[owenlovesmusic]

21 and Post!

[Enigma.]

Ouch at ASIB, well it's a tight race, 8k between #3 and #10. The Globes should help a bit next week.

[#LisaRinna]

Gaga!

[Naos]

Sales are crap this week.

Oh boy then are you in for a treat for the rest of the month, at least these sales had gift card purchases

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^I'm surprised that it took 38k SPS to possibly make the top 10. Particularly, streaming seems to have recovered for the streaming-heavy albums after the holidays.

Regarding January, there's always a chance to set a new low for a #1 SPS or pure sales. I think the latter is more likely thanks to the growth of streaming. New albums from Future and Meghan Trainor are the releases from established artists I see announced . The one from the Backstreet Boys could do well with a ticket album bundle.
