Chart Final: Aiko Mania
Allel/ArtClub/Def Jam’s Jhené Aiko bows at #1 on this week’s HITS Top 50 with 73k, buoyed by Apple Music-heavy streaming on a handful of tracks. In addition to furnishing Aiko with her first chart-topper, Westside Whimsy is the biggest debut by a female R&B act this year—and the week’s top-streaming album. Tunji Balogun and company are feeling mighty whimsical.
Chart staples Olivia Rodrigo (Geffen), Ella Langley (SAWGOD/Columbia), Morgan Wallen (Big Loud/Mercury) and Noah Kahan (Mercury) fill out the Top 5.
The REPUBLIC kingdom has eight of the top 12 albums. Monte would like to know what happened with the other four.
There isn’t much movement elsewhere on the chart, though we’re duty-bound to report that ADÉLA’s PRIMA (Capitol), which debuted in the Top 5 last week, remains in the Top 15 in its second frame as the Tower rookie’s streaming goes nuclear.
This week brings Bass Persuades, the first Atlantic album by pop chameleon MILEY (fka Miley Cyrus), as well as offerings from Lyfestyle/Capitol’s Yeat, Iliad/Capitol’s Beck, Dirty Hit/Interscope’s beabadoobee, Nashville Harbor’s Riley Green, Earthsong’s Chaka Khan, MCA Nashville’s Luke Bryan, Interscope’s Carly Rae Jepsen, Warner’s Orville Peck, Megaforce’s Anthrax and BMSG’s BE:FIRST.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have leaves to peep.
