This week's Billboard charts spotlight familiar artists with Playboi Carti’s album 'MUSIC' reclaiming No. 1 and Kendrick Lamar’s single 'Luther (feat. SZA)' topping the Hot 100 for eight weeks. The charts reflect a slowdown in numbers, with 'MUSIC' garnering only 64,000 equivalent album units, the lowest for a top album in over a year. Two new entries appear in the top 10; a reissue by Elton John and Brandi Carlile and an unexpected debut from a rising artist, highlighting old-album reissues' potential to boost chart performance.
This week, MUSIC has roughly 64,000 equivalent album units. Still, slow weeks on the Billboard charts can yield fascinating anomalies.
With numbers depressed across the board, two albums debut in the top 10 this week...it's worth remembering that there are several tried-and-true methods to giving old albums a chart boost.
Veteran chart stalwarts Elton John and Brandi Carlile made their way in with 'Who Believes in Angels?', while a three-year-old debut album made its first appearance.
Kendrick Lamar's 'Luther (feat. SZA)' sits atop the Hot 100 singles chart for an eighth consecutive week.
