CHART STORY: THOMAS ON TOP

Valory/BMLG country star Thomas Rhett has debuted at #1 on this week’s Sales Plus Streaming Chart with 123k for Life Changes—his third studio album, and the follow-up to acclaimed, platinum set Tangled Up. If you’ll recall, the latter housed a big, career-defining hit, the 2016 ACM Single Record of the Year and the CMA Single of the Year, “Die a Happy Man.”

Two other new releases make the Top 5 this time around. The National’s Sleep Well Beast (4AD) bows at #2 with 65k, while Jack Johnson’s All the Light Above It Too (Brushfire/Republic) appears at #4 with approximately 46k.

As for the remaining noteworthy debuts, you’ll find Dustin Lynch’s Current Mood (Broken Bow) at #7 with 35k and there’s Kip Moore’s Slowheart (MCA Nashville) at #10 with 29k, while the late, great Gregg Allman’s Southern Blood (New Rounder) comes in at #11 with north of 27k and Odesza’s A Moment Apart (Counter) just misses the Top 15 at #17 with nearly 20k.

In other chart news, RCA Nashville/Zone 4’s Kane Brown enjoys a decent bump this week. His self-titled, debut full-length hops #43-33, as the deluxe version goes into preorder. In tandem with that move, red-hot single “What Ifs” debuts on our Song Revenue Chart at #44, and for perspective, it’s one of only two country songs on that list (the other being Sam Hunt smash “Body Like a Back Road”). That said, “What Ifs” is #2 on our Country Song Streams Chart. We’ll let you guess the #1 track, but it’s also worth noting that five Thomas Rhett songs can be found on that chart (#3, “Unforgettable”; #10, “Die a Happy Man”; #11, “Craving You” f/Maren Morris; #25, “Life Changes”; #44, “T-Shirt”).

Def Jam
’s Logic, meanwhile, remains on fire. His album Everybody remains in the SPS Top 10 with another 31k or so in its 18th week out. And, by the way, his much-talked-about single, “1-800-273-8255,” just jumped #3-1 on our Streaming Songs Chart.

When it comes to the battle for SPS marketshare, UMG leads with 45%, WMG is #2 with 28% and SME is #3 with 21%, while the indies follow with 6%.

Streeting this week are sets from Roswell/RCA’s Foo Fighters, RCA’s Superfruit and Prophets of Rage.

On a related note, Superfruit Fighters of Rage sounds like either the coolest collaboration ever or the name of a righteous weed dispensary.
