Republic's Taylor Swift repeats at #1 on the HITS Top 50, as THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT moves 445k in week two—which by itself outpaces any other artist’s debut week in 2024.
Def Jam has inked singer Skylar Simone, who'll be introduced to the world via her new, D'Mile-produced single, “Shiver."
Kendrick Lamar has struck again with "6:16 in LA," his second Drake diss in less than a week. His previous sortie, "euphoria," remains #1 at Apple Music and Spotify U.S.
Sabrina Carpenter has her first U.K. #1 single with “Espresso” (Island). Over on albums, Taylor Swift tallies a second week at the top and may have signed a long lease for that chart penthouse.
Just another day at the office for Lucian’s Uni gang (TikTok deal, $2.8b), Rapino ($3.8b), Billie and Marshall (new albums), Sabrina (#1), Post and Shaboozey (gone country), millionaire Tommy Richman and a euphoric Kendrick. Ho hum.
