Scanning the Charts (10/6/21): YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Coldplay x BTS bow at no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively.
Well, 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. This column isnβt extensive, but rather short and sweet. This week, I picked out EIGHT notable observations from the Billboard 200 , and SEVEN observations from the Billboard Hot 100
, with
YoungBoy Never Broke Again debuts at no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 while
Coldplay and
BTS debut at no. 1 on the Hot 100.
Billboard 200 
YoungBoy Never Broke Again dethrones
Drake!
Sincerely, Kentrell debuts respectably at no. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Drake sees
Certified Lover Boy slip to no. 2 following three consecutive weeks crowning the Billboard 200. Crunching the numbers, YoungBoy only beat him by a few units.
Debuting just outside the top-10,
iTZY debuts at no. 11 with
Crazy in Love: The 1st Album.
How the mighty fall!
G-Eazy misses the top-10 with his latest album,
These Things Happen Too. These Things Happen Too debuts at no. 19.
Angels & Airwaves earn a top 40 start with
Lifeforms (no. 36).
Sufjan Stevens and
Angelo De Augustine launch at no. 115 with
A Beginnerβs Mind.
The
Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack debuts modestly at no. 183.
Tremonti doesnβt exactly light up the charts with
Marching in Time (no. 184). Similarly,
Westside Gunn just cracks he BB200 with
Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Side B (no. 196).
Two musicians failed to chart on the Billboard 200:
Anthony Hamilton (
Love is the New Black) and
Alessia Cara (
In the Meantime). So disappointing considering both artists deserve better.
