Billboard 200 📉

💭 🎙 Doja Cat was always a contender to top the Billboard 200 as well.  💿  Planet Her  performs well, debuting in the runner up spot – a career high.

💭  Latin standout 🎙  Rauw Alejandro earns the final debut in the top 20 of the Billboard 200.  💿  Vice Versa launches at no. 17.

💭  🏆  Academy award and Grammy-winning R&B artist 🎙  H.E.R. sees her debut album, 💿  Back of My Mind, slide from no. 6 to no 18 in its second charting week.  

💭 Earning a top-40 berth, 🎙  Beartooth debuts at no. 30 with 💿  Below, while 🎙 Ski Mask The Slump God bows at no. 39 with 💿  Sin City: The Mixtape.

💭 🏆  Grammy-nominated rapper 🎙  Logic reappears on the charts thanks to the debut of 💿  YS Collection, Vol. 1 at no. 56.

💭 A couple of formerly successful musicians see unimpressive debuts.  Country artist 🎙  Gary Allan launches at no. 86 with 💿  Ruthless while alternative darlings 🎙  Modest Mouse start at no. 87 with 💿  The Golden Casket.

💭 Three more debuts worth noting: 🎙  Hiatus Kaiyote arrives at no. 103 (💿  Mood Valiant), 🎙  Lucy Dacus at no. 104 (💿  Home Video), and 🎙  Surfaces – the 🎵 “Sunday Best” dudes – at no. 141 (💿  Pacifico)

Billboard Hot 100 📉 

💭  🎙  BTS spends a sixth consecutive week on top of the Billboard Hot 100 with 🎵 “Butter”.

💭 🎙  Ed Sheeran launches at no. 5 with 🎵  “Bad Habits”.  That’s a strong start, but I’m a bit surprised it didn’t perform even stronger to be honest.

💭 🎙 Doja Cat already had a top-five hit with 🎵  “Kiss Me More” featuring 🎙 SZA.  She adds a no. 11 hit with “You Right,” her 💿  Planet Her duet with 🎙 The Weeknd.  Doja has other chart debuts as well.

💭 With the no. 1 album on his hands, it’s not surprising to see 🎙 Tyler, The Creator to chart highly on the Hot 100 as well. 🎵 “WUSYANAME”, featuring 🎙 YoungBoy Never Broke Again and 🎙 Ty Dolla $ign, bows at no. 14.  Tyler has other chart debuts as well.
