TOP 20: REPUBLIC'S RAMPAGE

Morgan Wallen's Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Republic) extends its run at #1, making it the first country album to spend its first three weeks on top since Taylor Swift's Red in 2012. Republic should score at least four of the Top 5 with Pop Smoke, Taylor and The Weeknd seemingly locked in, achieving what industry statisticians describe as a "holyf**kings**t" kind of week. Lil Durk's The Voice (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) and Ariana Grande's Positions (Republic) appear in a tight race for #5. Should Grande win, that will give Republic the entire Top 5 on Friday's HITS Top 50. In any case, Monte Lipman is pouring hand sanitizer over his head and pretending it's champagne.

Great hold for Morgan Wallen's third week at #1. I assume it would have #1 for the next week as well. I guess Lil Skies will drop off considerably from the #5 debut of his previous album.

Mad love for those 80 people still purchasing Lil Durk's album lmao.

Lil durk? 😅

Morgan is selling pretty well too. His streams are obviously inflated, but the pure sales indicate that the demand is there for real.

I don't get how they're inflated. With the many deluxe versions we got last year, most albums ended up having well over 20+ songs. All Morgan did was release all of those songs at once. Him being so stable on streaming proves that people are actually listening to his music and beyond just the first week. If that wasn't the case, it wouldn't have mattered if he released 50 or 100 songs. Many artists released 20+ track albums last year that deflated after the first week.

I think with Morgan, despite being unable to tour last year, he somehow managed to consolidate his fanbase, possibly through more people simply discovering his music and that's being reflected in his numbers. So far, his album is even more stable than Folklore despite debuting with almost 600K fewer units. That says a lot.

Yeah his new music is just not it at all

[HolidayGuy]

Yeah, I wouldn't consider an album's streaming numbers as inflated because it has more songs than the average release. Songs are still getting streamed.

[jthentic]

Are there any album deluxes which have sold more than 100k?

If by this you mean deluxe songs only selling 100k.

Eternal Atake in the second week had 247k, 130k of those were coming from the deluxe tracks (based on HitsDD).

MORGAN WALLEN LEADS REPUBLIC’S GRAND SLAM

Friday, January 29, 2021

Country superstar Morgan Wallen continues to make history with his double album, Dangerous (Big Loud/Republic), as it logs its third consecutive week at #1 on the HITS Top 50. The record-breaking project posted another six-figure frame (132k) and became the first country set to top the chart in its opening three weeks since Taylor Swift’s Red in 2012.

Republic is serving up its own dominant run at the top of the chart—the Top 4 albums belong to the House of Lipman: Wallen, Victor Victor’s Pop Smoke, Swift’s evermore and The Weeknd’s After Hours (XO). Ariana Grande’s Positions moves to #7 and Swift’s folklore rises to #10, giving Republic six of the Top 10. The label has the genre leaders for country (Wallen), hip-hop (Pop), singer/songwriter (Swift) and pop (The Weeknd).

UMG, it should be added, holds nine of the Top 10; in addition to Republic’s haul, Alamo/Geffen/Interscope’s Lil Durk, Grade A/Interscope’s Juice WRLD and Quality Control/Motown/CMG’s Lil Baby land at #5, #6 and #9, respectively. River House/Columbia Nashville’s Luke Combs is the sole non-Uni title on the leaderboard.

The Weeknd’s After Hours re-enters the Top 5 for the first time since July 2020, as the anticipation and campaign for his Super Bowl Halftime Show brings “Blinding Lights” back to life.

The top debut goes to Sony Latin’s all-star album from Anuel AA & Ozuna, Los Dioses (Real Hasta La Muerte), which bows at #13 with 26k.

As for marketshare, UMG commands with 60%, followed by SME’s 22% and WMG with 15%.

Streeting this week are new projects from Lil Durk, Crush’s Weezer, Sony Latin’s Maluma and OVO Sound/Warner’s PARTYNEXTDOOR.
