CHART STORY: POST PUSHES ON

Post Malone's sophomore set, beerbongs & bentleys (Republic), spends its second week at #1 on HITS' Top 50 Chart, raking in an additional 192k+ and raising his two-week total north of 662k. Of course, it's important to remember that his RTD (including the singles that dominated streaming platforms prior to the album's drop) was around 1.4m when it bowed last Friday. Meanwhile, its 2016 predecessor, Stoney, sits just outside the Top 10.

Then there's J. Cole's KOD (Dreamville/Roc Nation/Interscope), which can be found at #2 earning another 71k+, down just 34% in its third week out.

This week's biggest debut belongs to Columbia's Leon Bridges, whose Good Thing appears at #4 with nearly 65k. Shinedown's ATTENTION ATTENTION (Atlantic) is next, rounding out the Top 5 with 62k, while Rae Sremmurd's SR3MM (Eardruma/Interscope) comes in at #6 with 61k.

As for noteworthy moves, TDE/Aftermath/Interscope's Black Panther soundtrack returns to the Top 10 following news that the Avengers movie had become the fastest to hit $1b at the box office worldwide. Jason Aldean's Rearview Town (Broken Bow/BMG) hops up a spot within the Top 15, as single "You Make It Easy" continues its reign over the Country radio chart. Luke Combs' This One's For You (River House/Columbia Nashville) leaps #36-22. The singer/songwriter's "One Number Away" is currently Top 3 at Country radio and growing, while Combs' new song, "Beautiful Crazy"—off the album's not-yet-released deluxe version—is #9 at iTunes.

When it comes to Top 50 marketshare, UMG is #1 with 53%, WMG follows with 31% and SME is #3 with 13%, while the indies claim 3%.

Streeting this week are albums by AWGE/Interscope's Playboi Carti, Artist Partner's Charlie Puth, Domino's Arctic Monkeys, Eleven Seven's Bad Wolves and Sub Pop's Beach House.

In other news, it's officially Mother's Day weekend. If you haven't picked something up yet, Lowell Smokes has the perfect flower bouquet for moms everywhere. And don't forget about your bubbie!
