CHART FINAL:
RE-CERTIFIED

Drake’s blockbuster Certified Lover Boy (OVO/Republic) is enjoying a second week at #1 on the HITS Top 50. The 6-God’s sixth studio album earned 233k in week two, following a record-setting opening week in which CLB shattered streaming records and scored the year’s biggest debut. In just two weeks of activity, CLB has already earned north of 1 billion U.S. streams.

Kanye West’s Donda (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) remains at #2 in its third week with 80k.

The top debut belongs to Kacey Musgraves star-crossed (Interscope/MCA Nashville). Her new set, the follow-up to 2019 Grammy Album of the Year Golden Hour, scores the biggest opening of Musgraves' career at #3 with 73k.

Rising hip-hop star Baby Keem also lands a Top 5 bow with his debut album, The Melodic Blue (pgLang/Columbia), which bows at #4 with 54k. Geffen’s Olivia Rodrigo rounds out the Top 5 with SOUR.

Further down the chart, self-titled re-releases from Metallica (Blackened) and Aaliyah (Blackground/EMPIRE) appear at #10 and #12, respectively.

The chart’s greatest gainers are Glass Animals, who dropped a deluxe version of Dreamland (Wolf Tone/Republic), and Walker HayesCountry Stuff (Monument), led by the Applebee's anthem “Fancy Like,” which notched its 11th consecutive week at #1 on our Country Song Streams chart.

Streeting this week are titles from Columbia’s Lil Nas X, Big Machine’s Carly Pearce and Since '93/RCA’s Tems. Now we must return to Twitter so we can read more about swollen balls.
