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”.
