CHART FINAL: GRANDE PRIX!
Republic’s Ariana Grande has scored an upset victory on the HITS Top 50 chart, notching a decisive #1 for her eternal sunshine set, recently released in a brighter days ahead deluxe edition with several new tracks. Ari racks up 137k+, handily defeating reigning champ Playboi Carti (AWGE/Interscope), whose 91k is also pretty damn impressive.
Ariana’s is one of three debuts in this week’s Top 5. XO/Republic’s NAV bows at #3 with nearly 83k+, and Alamo’s Lil Durk moves 64k+ in his opening frame, good for #4. TheRepublic/OVO/Santa Anna set from PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake rounds out the Top 5—and a pretty good week, especially if your name is Monte or Mosco.
Glassnote’s Mumford & Sons bow #19 with 27k+, while Geffen’s Lucy Dacus arrives at #21 with a 26k+ opening and Atlantic’s streaming phenom Alex Warren is right behind with nearly 26k, good for #25.
This week brings the highly anticipated Interscope pairing of Elton John and Brandi Carlile (with lyrics by Bernie Taupin, we hasten to add).
And now we must bid you adieu, as we have to begin applying sunblock for next week’s sojourn to the desert. It usually only takes three days, but we’re leaving nothing to chance.
