DreamWorks movie Trolls, which is responsible for the creation of Justin Timberlake smash “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” hit theaters last week; appropriately, the RCA soundtrack re-entered this week’s chart at #4.

Rae Sremmurd’s SremmLife 2 (Eardruma/Interscope) soared #39-6 this week. The current single, “Black Beatles” has been (and continues to be used) in the viral Mannequin Challenge videos, which have been created by everyone from Michelle Obama to Paul McCartney.
