CHART FINAL:
A RED HOT BOW

Warner’s Red Hot Chili Peppers earn a spicy #1 on HITS’ Top 50 chart as Unlimited Love delivers 83k, unseating Machine Gun Kelly’s mainstream sellout (Bad Boy/Interscope), which falls to #10 with 32k in its second frame. Lil Durk’s 7220 (Alamo), the Encanto soundtrack (Disney) and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous (Big Loud/Republic) hold the #2-4 positions, respectively, for a third consecutive week. Rounding out the Top 5 is Geffen’s Olivia Rodrigo, whose SOUR sees a Grammy bump following the teen phenom’s three wins—including Best New Artist—and impressive telecast performance.

Two other debuts land inside the Top 10: Thomas Rhett’s Where We Started (Valory/BMLG) sits at #6 with 33k, while Dreamville & J. Cole’s D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape (Dreamville/Interscope) bows at #8 with 32k. Meanwhile, the multitalented Jon Batiste’s We Are (Verve), on the heels of securing Album of the Year (and four other Grammys), debuts on the chart at #22.

Columbia’s Harry Styles sees a boost from his new smash cut, “As It Was,” which opened at #1 on our Streaming Songs Chart, propelling Fine Line to the chart’s #19 position. Other Grammy-spurred spikes include sets from Silk Sonic (Aftermath/Atlantic) and Chris Stapleton (Mercury Nashville), both of which re-entered the chart.

Streeting this week are projects from Epic’s Camila Cabello, Third Man’s Jack White, Motown’s Vince Staples, Republic’s Coi Leray, Columbia’s Fivio Foreign, Warner Nashville’s Cole Swindell, Sub Pop’s Father John Misty and 42 Dugg and EST Gee’s collaboration on CMG/Interscope.
