YTD TOTAL ACTIVITY: IT'S GRANDE'S GAME

With more than 1.5m under her belt, Ariana Grande's thank u, next (Republic) is #1 in YTD activity. The set's the biggest streamer by a long shot. As for sales, though, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born Interscope soundtrack—#4 overall—sees the highest number of YTD album sales (396k) and YTD song sales (1.2m).

Republic's Jonas Brothers, who debuted with 405k on last week's Top 50 Chart to score the biggest first-week number of the year so far, are currently climbing through the Top 15 on this YTD chart. They appeared here at #13 with 611k in YTD total activity, powered in large part by lead single "Sucker." Their numbers look like this: 357k YTD albums, 443k YTD songs, 284m YTD streams.

Two Interscope acts, Billie Eilish and Juice WRLD, both have two projects in the Top 20. Eilish's don't smile at me EP (Darkroom) is #19 with 476k YTD—one slot below Juice's Goodbye & Good Riddance (Grade A) at #18 with 492k.

The only country artist to make the Top 20 is River House/Columbia Nasvhille's Luke Combs, whose 580k YTD total earned him the #15 spot.
