TOP MONEYMAKERS: SPREADING THE WEALTH
During a week without a massive debut from a stream-powered act, the recent pattern of Revenue Chart wholesale takeovers has been broken. It’s novel these days to find eight different acts among the Top 10 earners, but that’s what we’re looking at.
Upstart Juice WRLD won the competition with a relatively modest $164.6k, followed by Drake, who’s sure to overrun the chart following the 6/29 release of Scorpion. Maroon 5—which moved up two slots to #4 despite a 12% decrease in revenue—is the lone pop act on the hip-hop-dominating leaderboard, albeit with a featured ringer in Cardi B, whose “I Like It” finished #5 behind a 6% uptick.
The only act to place two tracks in the Top 10 earners is the Kanye West-Kid Cudi tandem, dba Kids See Ghosts, at #7 and 8, while Ye’s own “All Mine” finished just ahead of them. Throw in #3 Lil Baby and #10 Post Malone, and you’re looking at a microcosm of mainstream pop in the streaming age.
