A MEEK CHART STORY

Meek Mill’s Championships (Atlantic) has officially topped the HITS Top 50 Chart, moving around 208k. That included, a total of four debuts make up the Top 5, as Lil Baby’s Street Gossip (QC/Motown/Capitol), The 1975’s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (Interscope) and Ski Mask the Slump God’s Stokeley (Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic) make waves at #3, #4 and #5 with 84k, 61k and 52k, respectively.

And rounding out the Top 15, Tan Cressida/Columbia’s Earl Sweatshirt pulls in 30k with his Some Rap Songs.

New releases aside, most of this week’s noteworthy movement comes from the yuletide albums. Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas (Epic) leaps #22-17, while Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas rises #39-25 and Pentatonix’s That’s Christmas to Me (RCA) goes #48-33. The latter’s most-recent set, meanwhile, remains in the Top 10, tacking on another 37k.

As for the re-entries, there’s Nat King Cole's Christmas Song (Capitol) at #21, Frank Sinatra’s Ultimate Christmas (Legacy) at #36, Perry Como's Classic Christmas Album (Legacy) at #41, Elvis Presley’s It’s Christmas Time (BMG) at #44, Gene Autry’s Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (Columbia) at #46 and Andy WilliamsThe Classic Christmas Album (Legacy) at #50. And yes, we know you eagerly await HITS tour-de-force Buddy the Brown Nosed Weasel. Patience is a virtue.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG leads the way with 51%, WMG follows with 27% and SME is #3 with 22%.

Streeting this week are projects by Empire’s XXXTentacion and Big Machine’s Brett Young, as well as Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns soundtrack.
