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 (📉 Morgan Wallen Debuts Big: Scanning the Charts 📉 No. 3), 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 🎙 Morgan Wallen spending a second week atop the Billboard 200 with 💿 Dangerous: The Double Album.

💭 🎙 Why Don’t We earns the sole debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. 💿 The Good Times and the Bad Ones debuts at a career high no. 3.  You go boys!

💭 Unfortunately, there still aren’t enough people listening to 🎙 Zayn. His third studio album, 💿 Nobody is Listening, debuts outside of the top 40 (no. 44).  It’s an improvement upon 💿 Icarus Falls (no. 61), but that’s not saying much when his 2016 debut, 💿 Mind of Mine, started in the penthouse…

💭 🎙 Jeff Tweedy debuts modestly at no. 89 with 💿 Love is King.

💭 🎙 Ashnikko launches in the second half of the Billboard 200 with 💿 DemiDevil (no. 107).

💭 🎙 Ariana Grande is on the rise with the remix of 🎵 “34+35” featuring 🎙 Doja Cat and 🎙 Megan Thee Stallion.  The record ascends from no. 11 to no. 2, definitely dimming the 🎵 “Mood” of 🎙 24kGoldn and 🎙 iann dior (slips to no. 3).

💭 🎙 Juice WRLD and 🎙 Young Thug debut at no. 22 with 🎵 “Bad Boy”.

💭 🎙 DaBaby launches at no. 55 with his single, 🎵 “Masterpiece”.

💭 Two country standouts – 🎙 Tim McGraw and 🎙 Tyler Hubbard – land at no. 76 on the Hot 100 with 🎵 “Undivided”.
