Shaboozey’s song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” reached number 1 on the charts. billboard It has been on the Hot 100 for 15 weeks, but its rise was interrupted by Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody,” which entered this week’s chart at the top spot. There’s a lot of action on the album chart, too, with rapper Yeat breaking into the No. 1 spot, K-pop group SEVENTEEN breaking into the top five, and all four of last week’s biggest breakout acts back in the top 10 for a second week. .

BEST ALBUMS

For debut albums the billboard top 10There are usually two different trajectories: You have immovable objects at the top that barely move for months (Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter), and or supernovas that appear for the first time (Coldplay, for example). near the top, but quickly falling into oblivion. In the age of broadcasting, billboard The 200 is quite unforgiving in this regard.

If you looked last week’s chartwith four releases – Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken At #1, Rod Wave Last Round At number 2 is GloRilla’s wonderful At number 5 and on BigXthaPlug Be careful 8th — you’d be forgiven for thinking at least one or two of these are facing second-week precipitous declines. You’re also wrong: Each of the four slides slides only two dots (Jelly Roll from 1st to 3rd, Rod Wave from 2nd to 4th, GloRilla from 5th to 7th, and BigXthaPlug from 7th) from 8th to 10th ).

This week’s debuts are led by rapper Yeat, who debuted at No. 1 on this week’s chart. Lyfestyle; goes to the top for the first time billboard 200, but all four of her previous albums were in the top 10. It won’t be easy to keep that up in the coming weeks, as roughly two-thirds of the albums Lyfestyle‘s current chart success is driven by album sales (including the many different releases available on the rapper’s webstore) rather than streaming, which is what fuels long-term chart success these days. Still, it’s an impressive feat for a rising artist.

Speaking of rising stars, all-caps K-pop group SEVENTEEN debuts at No. 5. POUR THE EMOTIONS — broke into the top 10 with her sixth record in a row — while Gracie Abrams entered the top 10 again after staying at number 2 for a week in July. Abrams’ Our Secret It has remained at the top of the charts ever since, but this week it jumped from No. 19 to No. 8, thanks to the release of a deluxe edition of unreleased songs.

Sabrina Carpenter’s top 10 Short and Sweet Morgan Wallen rose from #4 to #2 One Thing at a Time Billie Eilish rose from #9 to #6 Hit Me Hard and Soft It fell from 7th to 9th place. And the three biggest pop music stories of 2024: Charli XCX BratChappell Roan The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess and Taylor Swift Tortured Poets Section – they all exit the top 10 at the same time, albeit barely. Any or all of them could certainly get a boost in the coming weeks, as the Grammy nominations are announced on November 8 and Swift is releasing yet another deluxe edition. Tortured Poets On November 29th. Still, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen a top 10 without Roan or Swift.

BEST SONGS

Last week in this fieldMany paragraphs have been poured out describing Shaboozey’s record-breaking path to No. 1. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” remained at the top for 15 non-consecutive weeks, breaking the all-time record set by Lil Nas in 2019. X’s “Old Town Road” is a close second, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which spent 19 weeks atop the Hot 100 chart.

This week, Shaboozey looked set to share the longest streak of the 2020s, set by Morgan Wallen’s 16-week chart-topper “Last Night” last year. However this timeLeaving Shaboozey behind, Morgan Wallen’s new song “Love Somebody” entered the list at number 1. Considering the longevity of Wallen’s two past hits, the Post Malone collaboration “I Had Some Help” dropped from No. 5 to No. 5. It may be an uphill battle for Shaboozey to reclaim the throne, as it sits at number 6 this week after being at the top of the chart for six weeks earlier this summer. But “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is nothing if not solid and still lurks at No. 2.

Morgan Wallen isn’t the only artist in this week’s top 10. ROSÉ and Bruno Mars also made a positive debut on the charts with the surprisingly catchy “APT.” Mars has long been in the top 10 — and his duet with Lady Gaga, “Die With a Smile,” remains at No. 4 this week — but ROSÉ, best known as a member of BLACKPINK, became the first female K-pop artist to top the chart billboard top 10. (A handful of male K-pop artists have done this: BTS, of course, along with solo work by members Jung Kook and Jimin, and Psy.)

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” drops from No. 2 to No. 3, while Sabrina Carpenter has only two songs in the top 10 instead of her usual three: “Espresso” from No. 3 to No. 5 and “Taste” from No. 3 to No. 5. It drops from the 8th place to the 9th place, but when viewed from the outside, “Please Please Please” remains in the 12th place.

Two unbearable songs remain in the top 10: Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” dropped from No. 6 to No. 7, with Wallen’s “Last Night” and Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” rising to No. 3. -longest run of all time billboard It’s in the top 10 with 41 weeks. And Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” dropped from No. 9 to No. 10.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

As mentioned above, the flow period billboard The maps are marked with a mixture of the venerable and the ephemeral. One advantage of the new system – and particularly its fickle nature – is that it offers a snapshot of current fan sentiment in ways that planning album sales alone cannot do as effectively.

One way fans mourned the death of former One Direction member Liam Payne on October 16 was by releasing the One Direction catalogue, as this week’s news suggests. billboard 200. All five 1D studio albums re-entered the chart this week: FOUR at number 31, Midnight Memories at number 38, Made in AM at number 62, Up All Night at number 88 and Take me Home No doubt aided by the way streaming algorithms work, 1D’s rise has extended to Payne’s former bandmate Harry Styles, who is set to hit the box office in 2022. Harry’s House It re-enters the chart at number 192.

Charts are also a useful metric to gauge fan expectations. Tyler, The Creator’s new album chromacopy It fell on Monday, so it hasn’t registered its existence yet billboard charting single “Noid” sits at No. 43 on this week’s Hot 100. Still, Tyler’s catalog is already taking off: IGOR Jumped from 91st to 39th place, Flower Child It climbs from number 127 to number 92 and Call Me If You’re Lost It re-entered the list at number 100. Despite the unusual Monday release date, we’re expecting a massive chart debut. chromacopy next week.
