The 90th Academy Awards moved the needle a bit for Atlantic’s Greatest Showman soundtrack, which hops #5-2, and Disney’s Coco OST, which re-enters the chart at #31.

As for other noteworthy surges, Camila Cabello’s Camila (SYCO/Epic), rises #12-9 as current single “Never Be the Same” approaches the Pop radio Top 10. XXXTentacion’s 17 (Bad Vibes Forever), meanwhile, jumps #39-24. His recently released standalone single, “SAD!,” just debuted on our Streaming Songs Chart, entering at #4.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 54%, WMG follows with 25% and SME is #3 with 19%, while the indies claim 3%.
