CHART STORY: BOBBY GOES BOOM

Logic’s new mixtape, Bobby Tarantino II (Def Jam), has officially debuted at #1 on HITSTop 50 Chart, moving approximately 117k. It’s also worth noting that Logic has three songs in the Streaming Songs Chart Top 10, namely Logic & Marshmello’s “Everyday” (#7), “Contra” (#8) and “44 More” (#9); the rapper’s got 11 in that Top 30.

QC/Motown/Capitol’s Lil Yachty has the second-biggest bow overall with 64k for Lil Boat 2. As for other key new releases, David Byrne’s American Utopia (Nonesuch) comes in at #4 on the strength of a ticket bundle. while Judas Priest’s Firepower (Epic) and Experience Hendrix/Legacy’s Both Sides of the Sky—a collection of late-period Jimi Hendrix tracks—enter at #7 and #8 with 44k and 34k, respectively. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night SweatsTearing at the Seams (Stax) can be found at #11.

The majority of Logic’s and Yachty’s totals come from streaming, while the opposite can be said for sales-heavy rock acts. Priest, Hendrix and Rateliff each collect over 90% of their totals from retail sales.

One of the most significant moves is made by Taylor Swift’s reputation (Big Machine/BMLG), which hops back into the Top 25 as latest single “Delicate” gets a shiny new video and prepares to chart at Top 40 radio.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 57%, WMG follows with 19% and SME is #3 with 18%, while the indies claim 6%.

Streeting this week are albums from Bad Vibes Forever’s XXXTentacion and Triple TigersScotty McCreery, along with RCA’s Love, Simon soundtrack. Also look for Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct (Blackened) to re-enter high on the chart, thanks to the latest installment in their bundle saga.
