CHART FINAL: OLIVIA AND DOJA REPEAT

Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from a vaccination-touting trip to the White House, scores her fourth #1 week on the HITS Top 50 with SOUR (Geffen). The set moved 82k units in its eighth week, taking its total over the 1.5m mark; it’s now 2021’s biggest album by a female act so far. Rodrigo also has two singles in the Top 5 at Pop radio as we go to press.

Holding firm at #2 for a third consecutive week is Planet Her by Kemosabe/RCA’s Doja Cat. Doja’s third LP logs 60k in its latest frame. Olivia and Doja have had the two most-streamed albums two weeks in a row.

The album leader at the half-year mark, Morgan Wallen, rises to #3 with Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Republic), while rap sensations Lil Baby & Lil Durk and Polo G round out the Top 5.

Top debuts belong to Blacksmith/Motown’s Vince Staples—whose self-titled release starts at #20—and ARTium/Roc Nation’s Snoh Aalegra, who bows at #22 with Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies.

While this week’s chart featured the usual suspects in the Top 20, expect weekly onslaughts of major releases for the remainder of summer, as well as vinyl drops from superstar sellers. Streeting this week are titles from Victor Victor/Republic’s Pop Smoke, Columbia’s John Mayer, Fader/Republic’s Clairo and Roc Nation’s WILLOW.

Now please excuse us as we mask up and binge some crime shows. See the full chart here.
