Kanye West's 'Jesus Is King' Arrives as His Record-Tying Ninth
Consecutive No. 1 Debut on Billboard 200 Chart
Kanye
West returned
to a familiar spot on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200), as his
latest release, JESUS IS KING, debuted at No.1. It’s his record-tying
ninth consecutive debut at No. 1, matching Eminem’s still-active streak for
the longest in the chart’s history.
Jesus
Is King was released on Oct. 25 via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings and
earned 264,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending
Oct. 31, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 109,000 were in album sales, while
the rest was powered largely by streaming activity. TEA units were 3,000 and
SEA units total 151,000 (translates to 196.9 million on-demand audio streams
for the album’s 11 tracks).
Old
Dominion nabbed their second top
10 on the Billboard 200 chart, as the quintet’s new SELF-TITLED set
arrived at No. 9 with 31,000 equivalent album units earned (with 19,000 of that sum in album sales).
The group previously visited the top 10 with 2017’s Happy Endings, which
debuted and peaked at No. 7 (starting with 41,000 units).
Top
Country Albums now ranks the most popular country albums of the week, as
compiled by Nielsen Music, based on multi-metric consumption (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA)).
10 digital track sales from an
album = 1 track equivalent album (TEA)
“sale”
1,500 on demand song streams from
an album to one streaming equivalent album (SEA) “sale”.
Nielsen
Music compiles the sales and streaming data. Billboard continues to publish pure album sales charts (subscription to
billboard biz ), exclusively comprising
Nielsen’s sales data.
Old
Dominion earned its second No.1 on
Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart as its self-titled third LP (RCA
Nashville/Sony Music Nashville | Amazon UK - iTunes - Amazon.com) launched atop the Nov.
9-dated list with 31,000 equivalent album units, including 18,700 in album sales, according to
Nielsen Music in the week ending Nov. 2.
On
the all-genre Billboard 200, the set started at No. 9, awarding the group its
second top 10.
Old
Dominion — which comprises Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff
Sprung and Brad Tursi — produced the new album with Shane McAnally (who helmed OD’s two
previous albums).
“One Man Band,” the first single
from Old Dominion, climbed 7-5 on Country Airplay, up 9% to 34.4 million
audience impressions in the week ending Nov. 3. On Hot Country Songs, which is
powered by airplay, streaming and sales data, the track holds at its No. 2
high, also drawing 10 million streams and 6,000 sold in the tracking week.
The album has already spawned No.1 single, “Make It Sweet.”

Russell Dickerson Hits #1 With 'Every

Russell Dickerson collected his
third consecutive career-opening Country Airplay No.1 as “Every
Little Thing” (Triple Tigers) hopped 4-1 in its 48th
week, up 15% to 37.9 million in radio reach.
“Three No.1s in a row is so crazy,” said Dickerson after learning
of his latest coronation. “I always have dreamed of hearing my songs on the
radio, but to have my first three songs released go to the top of the chart is
such a massive dream come true.”
“Thing” follows “Blue Tacoma,” Dickerson’s second Country Airplay leader,
which hit the summit in its 32nd frame (Oct. 13, 2018), and his debut hit,
“Yours,” which reached the penthouse in its 39th frame (Jan. 27, 2018) for its
first of two weeks on top.
Dickerson is the first artist to send his initial three Country Airplay
entries to No. 1 since Luke Combs, who notched his third straight leader, “One
Number Away,” in June 2018. (Combs has since doubled his total to six.)
Kenny Chesney banked his
56th Country Airplay top 10 as “Tip of My Tongue” (Blue
Chair/Warner Music Nashville/ WEA) bumped 11-10 (22.9
million, up 4%). He has tallied the third-most top 10s since Country Airplay
launched in January 1990, after George Strait (61) and Tim McGraw (57),
including a record 30 No.1s

Carrie Underwood And LANCO Share Most-Added Status
Kudos
to Bobby Young and the Capitol reps and Josh Easler and the Arista reps
on notching 48 adds each for Carrie Underwood’s “Drinking Alone” and Lanco’s “What I See,” respectively. The songs topped the
"Most
Added"
board this chart week.
NASHVILLE,
TN - Nov. 04, 2019 - Double-PLATINUM Country band and Arista Nashville
hit-makers LANCO impact Country radio today with their new single "What
I See” which has become the most-added single of their career and is
tied for the most added song this week. More than 51 stations instantly added
the new “ear candy” (Music Row) with its nostalgic twist on hometown memories
blended with organic sounds that heighten LANCO's signature anthemic melodies
and sing-along choruses. "What I See" was written by frontman Brandon
Lancaster, drummer Tripp Howell, bassist Chandler Baldwin and Jeremy Spillman
and serves as the name behind their headlining WHAT I SEE TOUR launching Jan. 9
in Overland Park, MS.
“It’s
been a really great year for us. We’ve had the time to take a step back, get it
back to the five of us and write about all the honest and real moments we’ve
experienced,” said Lancaster. “‘What I See’ stemmed from the thought
that every hometown has a place that people will pass right by without a second
thought, but to someone it holds some significant value. We want our fans to be
proud of where they came from and it's been cool to watch people gravitate
towards it and make the song their own.”
