The two Halloween releases continue to do well: Chris Brown Heartbreak on a Full Moon (RCA), holds at #7 while 21 Savage, Offset & Metro Boomin’s Without Warning (Slaughter Gang/Epic) is #11. The two albums are dominating Apple Music: Without Warning is #1 on the streaming albums chart and eight of its 10 tracks are in the Top 10 on the songs chart; the explicit version of Heartbreak on a Full Moon is #3 followed at #4 by the clean version.

N.E.R.D. f/Rihanna’s “Lemon” (Columbia), released Wednesday, is the top new entry on the songs chart, squeezing in at #6.
