There’s been a reshuffling of our Songs Revenue Chart, which had been topped by Childish Gambino and dominated by Post Malone the previous two weeks. The new chart-topper is Quality Control’s latest breakout, the adorably named, newly flush Lil Baby, who pulled in some major loot—nearly a quarter of a million bucks—albeit with an assist from his Canadian acquaintance Drake.
Drizzy’s been busy as the drumroll to Scorpion gets louder—and not just because of his war of words (to put it kindly) with Pusha T, who’ll undoubtedly be making a visit to the chart next week. The Canadian mega-star has pieces of four of the Top 10 earners in all, including his own pair of current smashes and the dime he tossed to OVO Sound/WBR’s Blocboy B.
Post, meanwhile, holds onto two slots on the leaderboard, as do Childish, the killer B’s of Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J. Balvin and the non-denominational duo of Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line.
And look who’s taken over the #10 position—it’s K-Pop crusaders BTS, who continue to break new ground as they popularize the contemporary music of their homeland, while bringing a second non-hip-hop track to the Top 10.
As for the macro, it’s nearly identical to the previous week:
UMG 66%, WMG 18%, Sony Music 16%
