Tyler, the Creator's latest album, Chromakopia (Columbia), is poised to debut at #1, with more than 250k units projected in its opening week. The project's first song, "St. Chroma" f/Daniel Caesar, currently tops the Spotify USA chart and is #3 at Spotify global. Big surprise—it's also Shazam's Biggest Mover of the week.
Sliding in at #2 is the Jim Croce classic "Time in a Bottle." The 1972 tear-jerker got a boost after it was featured in an episode of the Disney+ miniseries Agatha All Along, starring Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza and Kathryn Hahn.
At #3 is "Rock" by U.K. rap outfit Stepz, which went viral on TikTok shortly after its 10/11 release. Settling in at #4 is Megan Thee Stallion's "Bigger in Texas," taken from Megan: Act II (Hot Girl Productions). The accompanying YouTube video, featuring cameos by Houston rap legends Paul Wall, Slim Thug and the Geto Boys' Scarface, has amassed more than 5.4m views.
Wrapping up the Top 5 is Maroon 5's "Memories," which was released in 2019 and served as the lead single from the group's 2021 album, Jordi (222/Interscope). The track was featured toward the end of the new Marvel film Venom: The Last Dance, leading to an uptick in Shazam activity. As for us, the only activity we've seen is rolling out of bed.
