Cardi B Moves Up to No. 1 | Scanning the Charts 📉

Scanning the Charts – Billboard 200 & Hot 100 (3/27/21): Morgan Wallen is still dominant while Cardi B Moves Up to No. 1.

SCANNING THE CHARTS is just what it says it is.  I, the quirky founder and do-it-all at The Musical Hype scans through the Billboard Charts and picks out things that catch my eye.  To reiterate what I said last week (📉 Drake Makes Hot 100 ‘Scary’: Scanning the Charts 📉 No. 11), this column won’t be extensive, but rather short and sweet, keeping that 💩 moving.  This week, I picked out FIVE  notable observations 🔎 from the Billboard 200 📉,  and THREE observations 🔎 from the Billboard Hot 100 📉, with 🎙 Cardi B ascending to no. 1 on the Hot 100 with 🎵 “Up”.

Billboard 200 📉 

💭 Apparently, you just can’t simply ‘cancel’ 🎙 Morgan Wallen. The controversial 🎵 “Country A$$ Shit”, East Tennessee singer has spent 10 consecutive weeks at no. 1 with 💿 Dangerous: The Double Album.

💭 🏆 Grammy-nominated R&B artist 🎙 Giveon debuts at no. 5 with 💿 When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time. 

💭 🎙 Rob Zombie earns another top-10 debut with 💿 The Lunar Injection Kool Eclipse Conspiracy, which launches at no. 9.

💭 🎙 Nick Jonas has to be a bit bummed that 💿 Spaceman missed a top-10 debut.  It settles for a so-so no. 12 start.

💭 Also bummed by a forgettable start on the Billboard 200? 🎙 Selena Gomez, whose 💿 Revelacion (EP) misses the top- 20, settling for a no. 22 start.

Billboard Hot 100 📉

💭 🎙 Cardi B rises 🎵 “Up” to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck, huh!”

💭 🎙 Silk Sonic (🎙 Bruno Mars and 🎙 Anderson .Paak) ascend two spots from no. 4 to no. 2 with 🎵 “Leave the Door Open”.

💭 🎙 Rod Wave debuts at no. 36 with 🎵 “Street Runner”.
