Justin Bieber Tops Both Charts | Scanning the Charts 📉

Scanning the Charts – Billboard 200 & Hot 100 (4/3/21): Justin Bieber tops both charts, ending the reign of Morgan Wallen.

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 (📉 Cardi B Moves Up to No. 1: Scanning the Charts 📉 No. 12), 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 FIVE observations 🔎 from the Billboard Hot 100 📉, with 🎙 Justin Bieber topping both charts.

Billboard 200 📉 

💭 As to be expected, 🎙 Justin Bieber launches at a familiar spot on the Billboard 200 – no. 1.  💿 Justice didn’t deliver extraordinary numbers, but they were respectable and more than enough to make the top spot change hands for the first time in nearly three months.

💭 🎙 Lana Del Rey was unable to beat Bieber for the top spot, but she did secure no. 2 with 💿 Chemtrails Over the Country Club.  She also managed to beat out the subject of the third takeaway…

💭 After 10 consecutive weeks at no. 1, the reign of 🎙 Morgan Wallen has finally ended. Mr. East Tennessee slips to no. 3 with 💿 Dangerous: The Double Album.  Don’t cry too much for Wallen – his pockets are loaded with paper.

💭 🎙 Fleet Foxes reenters the Billboard 200 with their 2020 album 💿 Shore, which was reissued in an expanded edition.

💭 🎙 Jon Batiste, known for being the bandleader on 📺 Late Night with Stephen Colbert and scoring the soundtrack to Disney/Pixar’s 🎦 Soul, debuts quietly at no. 86 with 💿 We Are.

Billboard Hot 100 📉 

💭 🎙 Justin Bieber also tops the Billboard Hot 100.  Assisted by 🎙 Daniel Caesar and 🎙 GIVĒON, Bieber debuts at no. 1 with 🎵 “Peaches” (“I got my peaches out in Georgia (Oh, yeah, shit) / I get my weed from California (That’s that shit)”).  Of course, that’s not the only song to debut from 💿 Justice.  🎵 “As I Am” featuring 🎙 Khalid launches at no. 43 and 🎵 “Unstable” featuring 🎙 The Kid LAROI bows at no. 62 among many others on the bottom half of the Hot 100.

💭 🎙 Cardi B was 🎵 “Up” to no. 1 for one week but slips to no. 2 following the ascent of ‘The Biebz.’  Likewise, 🎙 Silk Sonic and 🎵 “Leave the Door Open” dip from no. 2 to no. 3.

💭 🎙 Lil Tjay, 🎙 Polo G, and 🎙 Fivio Foreign debut at no. 42 with 🎵 “Headshot”.

💭 🎙 Rod Wave sees “Tombstone” bow at no. 82.  Worth noting, the single appears on his new album, 💿 SoulFly, which was released Friday, March 26, 2021.

💭 County singers 🎙 Chris Young and 🎙 Kane Brown score some chart love with 🎵 “Famous Friends,” which launches at no. 94.
