Eurovision Champion Maneskin Hits No. 1 on Emerging Artists Chart
“Slave” surges 25-14 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, up 14% to 4.7 million streams and 3% to 1,200 sold. The band won the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with its song “Zitti E Buoni.” All three tracks have hit the top 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, where this week “Beggin’ ” ascends to No. 2. Måneskin isn’t the only Eurovision winner in the Emerging Artists top 10. Duncan Laurence, who crowned the 2019 contest, representing the Netherlands, rebounds to his No. 3 best thanks to his winning single “Arcade.” The song rises to No. 12 on Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Airplay and No. 18 on Pop Airplay. Elsewhere on Emerging Artists, Big Red Machine reaches the top 10 for the first time, re-entering at No. 9, as the n...
‘Good’ & ‘Bad’ Still Best: Olivia Rodrigo & Ed Sheeran Hold Atop Billboard Global Charts
Billboard‘s two global charts (the latest of which are dated July 17) began last September and rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by MRC Data. The Billboard Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S. Chart rankings are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations. ‘Good’ Scores Sixth Wee...
Ed Sheeran’s ‘Bad Habits’ Leads U.K. Chart Race as Soccer Anthems Score Early
After 48 hours, “Three Lions” was the second-most streamed song with 2.17 million plays, and the fourth most downloaded song of the week so far, according to the OCC. Meanwhile, Atomic Kitten’s “Southgate You’re The One (Football’s Coming Home Again),” a reworking of their 2001 chart-leader “Whole Again,” lifts to No. 10 on the chart blast. If it holds its momentum when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published this Friday, it would give the pop outfit their first Top 40 single in 16 years. With England losing a nailbiter to Italy, expect the frenzy for football songs to cool dramatically in the days ahead. In other chart news, London rapper Dave’s “Clash” featuring Brit Award-winner Stormzy is on track for the highest debut, at No. 4; while BTS’s latest “Permission to Dance” is cl...
Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ Narrowly Beats Queen’s ‘Greatest Hits’ For U.K. Chart Crown
The rock legends’ career retrospective enjoys a spike thanks to a 40th anniversary reissue campaign. According to the charts compiler, 78% of Queen’s final total during the week was made up of physical sales (vinyl, CD and cassette) with Greatest Hits the best-selling vinyl album of the chart week. Elsewhere on the tally, Jack Savoretti’s Europiana (EMI) is the week’s best-seller on downloads, despite dipping 1-4, while Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) (via Imperial) lifts 6-5, a new peak. Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie and French artist Jehnny Beth score a No. 12 debut with their collaborative effort Utopian Ashes (Sony Music CG). It’s Gillespie’s 13th Top 40 appearance, the first as a solo artist, and it’s Beth’s first appearance in the upper reaches of the chart. Over on the...
Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ Jumps Back to No. 1 for Third Week Atop Billboard 200 Chart
Doja Cat’s Planet Her is steady at No. 2 in its second week on the chart, earning 68,000 equivalent album units (down 37%). Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s former No. 1 The Voice of the Heroes rises 4-3 with 47,000 units (down 9%), while Morgan Wallen’s former 10-week chart-topper Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 6-4 with just over 46,000 units (down 2%). G Herbo’s fourth studio album, 25, is the lone debut in the Billboard 200 top 10 (and top 40, for that matter) as the set enters at No. 5 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 44,000 (equaling 61.17 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise a little over 1,000 units and TEA comprise less than 1,000. It’s the second top 10 and highest charting effort for the rapper, who previous...
Polo G’s ‘Rapstar’ Rules Rhythmic Airplay Chart
Polo G posts his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart as “Rapstar” marches 4-1 to lead the list dated July 10. The single rallies 11% in plays on monitored U.S. stations to become the format’s most-played song in the week ending July 4, according to MRC Data. “Rapstar” gives rapper Polo G his first leader in his second appearance on Rhythmic Airplay. His prior visit, with “Pop Out,” featuring Lil Tjay, peaked at No. 9 in 2019. Since its April release, “Rapstar” has unlocked a new tier of chart success for 22-year-old Polo G, born Taurus Bartlett. In addition to securing his maiden Rhythmic chart-topper, “Rapstar” immediately became the rapper’s first champ on the Billboard Hot 100 with its No. 1 debut on the flagship chart in April, where it ruled for two weeks. The sustained ...
Bo Burnham’s ‘Inside’ Goes International With Global Chart Hit ‘All Eyes on Me’
Since then, “Eyes” has grown, rising 72% in streams and 39% in sales in the latest tracking week. The song’s streams split 81% from audio services and 19% video services this week, which may be surprising considering its original state was as part of a visual comedy special on Netflix. Still, that slant toward audio streaming is in line with most titles from Inside (Songs), a strong showing for Burnham’s songwriting to stand on its own. The album’s first focus track, “Internet,” remains the set’s most-streamed track worldwide in the week ending July 1, at 8.7 million, but falls behind “Eyes” in sales, with 800 sold. However, with the latter title’s robust gains and the former’s steadier activity, it wouldn’t...
Rauw Alejandro Secures First No. 1 on a Billboard Albums Chart

Album sales and TEA units comprise less than 1,000 units combined. Vice Vers...

Call Me sold 55,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending July 1, according to MRC Data. Physical album sales comprise 50,000 of that figure (40,000 CDs and 10,000 cassettes) while digital album sales comprise 5,000. Call Me was made available as a 15-track standard digital download album, as well as in a 16-track deluxe digital and a streaming edition with one bonus track (“Safari”). The 16-track physical edition of the album, on CD and cassette, added a different bonus cut (“Fishtail”). A vinyl LP release has yet to be announced.

They were available a la carte, as well as in four limited edition deluxe box sets that sold for $25 each. (The box sets included either a CD, shirt and poster or...
Queen’s ‘Greatest Hits’ Set to be Crowned Again on U.K. Albums Chart
If it keeps its momentum when the weekly chart is published this Friday, it’ll mark the album’s fifth week at the summit, and its first stint at the top since the LP ruled the chart for four straight weeks in November and December 1981. With more than six million copies sold, Queen’s Greatest Hits is the best-selling album in the history of the U.K.’s recorded music industry. Also, it has logged 952 weeks in the Official Albums Chart to date, behind just ABBA’s Gold (1,000 weeks) and Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Legend (984 weeks). Queen last ruled the U.K. chart with 2020’s Queen + Adam Lambert Live Around The World, their first time leader since 1995’s Made In Heaven. Ahead of its release, Royal Mail released a collection of stamps to commemorate the group’s 50-ye...
Fueled by Euro 2020, Soccer Anthems Kick a Goal In Midweek U.K. Chart
If England progress to the final, and go all the way – something the team has never done in the UEFA tournament – expect the single to keep scoring. If it does, it would give the track a fifth stint at No. 1, extending its national chart record. Meanwhile, “Vindaloo” (Union Square Music) by Fat Les, the collective of Blur bassist Alex James, actor Keith Allen, and artist Damien Hirst, is at No. 40, and is charting to its first appearance in the top tier since 2010, when it reentered at No. 32 around the time of the World Cup. Also, New Order’s former chart-leader “World In Motion” (London) is at No. 57. “World In Motion,” which features a rap by retired soccer star John Barnes, was the Official World Cup 1990 song. Down the list, rap duo Krept & Konan are at No. 73 with “Olé (We Are En...
