Post is one of three Republic stars in the Top 5; Taylor Swift's Lover and Ariana Grande's thank u, next (both with 2m+) sit at #3 and #4, respectively. Beerbongs & Bentleys, Post's prior release, finishes at #6 with 1.3m+; add Drake's Scorpion (#9, 1.2m), and Republic owns five spots in the Top 10.

Billie has two titles of her own in the Top 50, as her Don't Smile at Me lands at #20.

Right Hand/RCA's Khalid rounds out the Top 5 with Free Spirit (1.5m+), and his American Teen is #39. Columbia's Lil Nas X (who has 2019's top-streaming and top-earning track in "Old Town Road") lands at #7 with his 7-EP (nearing 1.3m). Interscope's Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper A Star Is Born set takes a bow at #9 with almost 1.2m.
