CHART STORY: BRAND NEW ON TOP

With 58k, Brand New’s Science Fiction is #1 on this week’s Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart. This is the first self-released album to hit #1 since Frank Ocean’s Blonde topped the chart in August of last year with 276k.

As for the remaining bows to appear within the Top 30, Kodak Black’s Project Baby 2 (Atlantic) snags the #2 spot with 44k, Neck Deep’s The Peace and the Panic (Hopeless) is #7 with 31k, Dave East’s Paranoia: A True Story (Mass Appeal/Def Jam) debuts at #11 with just south of 26k and A$AP Ferg’s Still Striving (RCA) can be found at #16 with 23k.

One of the week’s most notable bumps belongs to Hollywood’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack, which rises #30-24, thanks to DVD, Blu-ray and on-demand.

It’s also worth noting that 21 Savage’s Issa Album (Slaughter Gang/Epic), which houses “Bank Account”—the #1 track on our Streaming Songs Chart with 15m+ streams—continues to earn. That album is #12 on the SPS chart this week.

When it comes to the SPS marketshare battle, UMG leads with 42%, SME is #2 with 33%, WMG is #3 with 20% and the indies follow with 6%.

Streeting this week are sets from Atlantic’s Lil Uzi Vert, Matador’s Queens of the Stone Age, SYCO/Epic’s Fifth Harmony, RCA’s A$AP Mob, RCA Nashville’s Old Dominion, Atlantic’s The War on Drugs and Action Bronson, Big Machine’s The Cadillac Three and Sub Pop’s Iron & Wine.

In other news, we’re not sure if you heard this yet, but this buzzing, under-the-radar chick Taylor Swift just released a new song. Oh, and her album, reputation (Big Machine), is due 11/10. You might wanna check it out. Just sayin’.
