CHART FINAL:
BEY'S BIG BOW
Parkwood/Columbia's Beyoncé scores her first #1 on the HITS Top 50 since 2016 as RENAISSANCE opens with 335k+—the second-biggest bow of the year. She's also the first female artist to top the album chart in 2022.
Meanwhile, lead single "BREAK MY SOUL" has had a resurgence at DSPs during release week and is once again Top 10 at Spotify and Apple Music. The track is likewise breaking at Pop, giving Bey her first Top 10 record at the format since 2009's "Single Ladies" and "Sweet Dreams."
Queen Bey just announced a collaboration with Madonna for a remix of "Break My Soul," accurately titled "The Queen's Remix." A CD of the collab is available to purchase here.
Rimas' Bad Bunny posts another week above 100k, with Un Verano Sin Ti sliding to #2. Four other debuts crack the Top 10, led by KQ/RCA's Ateez at #5, followed by $uicideBoy$, #6, Dance, Gavin Dance, #7, and Belift/Geffen/Ingrooves' Enhypen at #8.
Streeting this week are new titles from NBA/Atlantic's YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Columbia's Calvin Harris, Shady/Aftermath/Interscope's Eminem and TDE/Capitol's Doechi.
