He’s earned all eight consecutively, tying Eminem and The Beatles for the longest streak of No. 1s.

Kanye West lands his eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his latest studio effort, Ye, bows atop the list.

The set — which was released on June 1 via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings — earned 208,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 7, according to Nielsen Music, and is the fifth-largest week for an album in 2018. Of Ye’s starting sum, 85,000 were in traditional album sales.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new June 16-dated chart (where West debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Tuesday, June 12.

Let’s review some of the notable statistics associated with Ye’s No. 1 arrival:

Kanye West’s Eighth No. 1 Album: West lands his eighth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with Ye. He ties Eminem for the second-most No. 1 albums among hip-hop acts in the history of the chart. Only JAY-Z is ahead of them, as he owns 14 chart-toppers. (Among all acts, The Beatles have the most No. 1s, with 19.)

Record-Tying Eight No. 1s in a Row: West has earned all eight of his No. 1s consecutively. Every single one of West’s chart entries, starting with his second album, 2005’s Late Registration, have debuted at No. 1. (West missed the top only with his No. 2-peaking debut, 2004’s The College Dropout.) He matches Eminem (2000-2018, a still-active streak) and The Beatles (1965-68) as the only acts to tally eight straight No. 1 albums. Eminem also matches West in terms of eight consecutive No. 1 debuts. (The Beatles’ stretch of eight No. 1s in a row in the ’60s did not include any titles that debuted at No. 1.)

Fifth–Biggest Week of 2018: As Ye starts with 208,000 equivalent album units, it logs the fifth-biggest week for an album this year. The only larger frames were earned by the debut weeks of Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (461,000), J. Cole’s KOD (397,000), Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods (293,000) and Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy (255,000 units).

Seventh–Largest Streaming Debut Week Ever: Of Ye’s first week units, 120,000 were SEA units. That sum equates to 180.1 million on-demand audio streams for the set’s seven songs during the tracking week (as each SEA units equals 1,500 on-demand audio streams). Ye’s streaming launch is the seventh-biggest debut streaming week for an album. That’s a pretty notable feat, considering Ye only has seven songs. Thus, each tune, on average, garnered 25.7 million on-demand audio streams. The only album to tally a larger per-track streaming average was J. Cole’s KOD earlier this year. During its opening frame, the 12-song album earned 322.7 million on-demand audio streams, resulting in a 26.9 million per-track average.

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Post Malone’s former No. 1, beerbongs & bentleys, is a non-mover with 99,000 units (down 5 percent).

Coming in at No. 3 is rock band Ghost with its highest-charting album, and third top 10, Prequelle. The set launches with 66,000 units, of which 61,000 were in traditional album sales — the act’s best sales week ever. (The album’s first week benefits from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer in association with the band’s spring U.S. theater tour, as well as a pair of arena dates later this year.)

Ghost previously visited the top 10 with a pair of No. 6-peaking efforts: Popestar (EP) in 2016 and Meliora in 2015.

Country singer Luke Combs nabs a new chart high with his This One’s for You album, as the set zooms from No. 39 to No. 4, thanks to a deluxe reissue of the album on June 1. The set, bolstered by five new songs, garnered 55,000 units (up 314 percent). The album blows past its previous best week, logged when it bowed at No. 5 with 43,000 units on the June 24, 2017-dated tally.

Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy is steady at No. 5 on the new Billboard 200 (49,000 units; up 3 percent), Juice WRLD’s Goodbye & Good Riddance continues to climb, as it rises 8-6 (42,000 units; though down 3 percent), and The Greatest Showman soundtrack ascends 9-7 (just under 42,000 units; down 3 percent).

Shawn Mendes’ self-titled album falls from No. 1 to No. 8 in its second week (39,000 units; down 78 percent), Lil Baby’s Harder Than Ever slips 7-9 (37,000 units; down 18 percent) and Jason Aldean’s Rearview Town vaults 27-10 (34,000 units; up 117 percent). The latter set, like Ghost’s Prequelle, is goosed by sales generated from a ticket/album sale redemption offer.

Plus, Lil Baby & Drake’s “Yes Indeed” tops the Streaming Songs chart.

Drake‘s “Nice for What” rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a sixth total week. With his latest frame on top, Drake ties Michael Jackson for the second-most career weeks logged at No. 1 among solo males (37 each) in the chart’s 59-year history, with the pair trailing only Usher (47 weeks) for the lead in the category.

Meanwhile, Lil Baby and Drake take over atop the Streaming Songs chart with “Yes Indeed,” which holds at its No. 6 Hot 100 high, and Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvinreturn to the Hot 100’s top 10 with “I Like It,” at a new No. 7 peak, following the premiere of its official video.

Let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated June 9), which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (June 5).

“Nice,” released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, earns Drake his 37th cumulative week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, totaled by his five No. 1s; he previously led as featured on Rihanna’s “What’s My Name? (one week, 2010) and “Work” (nine weeks, 2016) and with his own “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla (10 weeks, 2016), and “God’s Plan” (11 weeks, 2018).

Drake matches Michael Jackson for the second-most weeks spent at No. 1 among solo males, after Usher. Among all artists, Drake and Jackson now share seventh place:

Most Weeks at No. 1 in Hot 100’s History
79, Mariah Carey
60, Rihanna
59, The Beatles
50, Boyz II Men
47, Usher
42, Beyonce
37, Drake
37, Michael Jackson
34, Elton John
33, Janet Jackson
33, Katy Perry

(With featured billings an established element of R&B/hip-hop, Drake has earned 27 of his 37 weeks atop the Hot 100 in a lead role and 10 as a featured artist. Usher has posted all 47 of his weeks at No. 1, from nine No. 1s, as a lead, or co-lead, artist, while Jackson was billed as a lead or co-lead for all 37 of his weeks at the summit, via 13 toppers; additionally, The Jackson 5, with Jackson as a member, tallied 10 weeks at No. 1 thanks to their four leaders, all in 1970.)

“Nice” concurrently collects a sixth week at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Post Malone‘s “Psycho,” featuring  Ty Dolla $ign, returns to its No. 2 Hot 100 peak, from No. 4. The track previously ranked at the runner-up spot in its debut week (March 10) and four weeks ago (May 12) and has spent all 14 of its frames on the chart in the top five. The track surges 9-1 for a second week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, up 36 percent to 31,000 sold in the week ending May 31, according to Nielsen Music (helped by a 69-cent sale price in the iTunes Store).

Meanwhile, Drake’s “God’s Plan” keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and has now logged all 19 of its weeks on the Hot 100 in the top three, a feat that no other song has achieved from its debut; the song inked its first 11 weeks at No. 1, followed by three weeks at No. 2 and now five frames at No. 3. (“Plan” passed three songs that each spent their first 16 weeks in the top three: Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” in 2017; The Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling,”  in 2009; and, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day,” in 1995-96.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Childish Gambino‘s “This Is America” falls 2-4, after two weeks at No. 1, and Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey‘s “The Middle” holds at its No. 5 high, as it leads Radio Songs for a fourth week (115.7 million in audience, up 1 percent, in the week ending June 3) and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for an 18th week.

Lil Baby and Drake’s “Yes Indeed” is steady at its No. 6 Hot 100 peak and crowns Streaming Songs for the first time, despite a 5 percent decline to 37.6 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 31. It also rules the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a second week with 26.9 million on-demand U.S. audio streams (down 17 percent).

Lil Baby lands his first Streaming Songs No. 1, while Drake adds his record-breaking fifth; he passes Justin Bieber, with four dating to the chart’s Jan. 26, 2013, inception. (Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift follow with three No. 1s apiece.)

Following the May 29 arrival of its official video, Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin’s “I Like It” returns to the Hot 100’s top 10, roaring 19-7 for a new peak. The collab climbs 15-5 on Streaming Songs, up 57 percent to 31 million domestic streams. (The track debuted at No. 8 on the Hot 100 dated April 8 and spent one prior week until this week in the top tier, having dipped to No. 9 in its second week.)

Ella Mai‘s first Hot 100 top 10, “Boo’d Up,” repeats at its No. 8 high, as it leads Hot R&B Songs for a third week.

Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line‘s No. 2-peaking “Meant to Be” descends 7-9 on the Hot 100, while topping Hot Country Songs for a 27th week.

Closing out the Hot 100’s top 10, Ariana Grande‘s No. 3-peaking “No Tears Left to Cry” backtracks 9-10.

Just beyond the Hot 100’s upper bracket, Shawn Mendes soars 20-11 (a new peak) with “In My Blood,” as his self-titled third LP, featuring the song, launches atop the Billboard 200; and Juice WRLD earns his first top 20 hit, as “Lucid Dreams” darts 35-15. Plus, Drake’s “I’m Upset” debuts at No. 19, as it opens at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (27,000) and No. 11 on Streaming Songs (21 million); Drake charts his 164th Hot 100 entry, extending his record for the most among soloists.

He’s the third-youngest solo artist to achieve three No. 1 albums.

Shawn Mendes’ new self-titled, third full-length studio album bows atop the Billboard 200 chart, scoring the pop singer-songwriter his third No. 1. The set — which was released on May 25 via Island Records — launches with 182,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 31, according to Nielsen Music. Of that figure, 142,000 were in traditional album sales. Both sums represent new highs for the artist.

Mendes also debuted at No. 1 on the chart with his two earlier full-length studio sets: Illuminate (in 2016) and Handwritten (2015).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new June 9-dated chart (where Mendes debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Tuesday, June 5.

Here’s a look at some notable achievements Mendes claims with his album debut:

Mendes’ Best Week Ever: With Mendes’ sizable start, he tallies his best week ever in units and sales. He surpasses his previous high-water mark, logged with the No. 1 debut of his last studio set, Illuminate, in 2016. That effort bowed with 145,000 units, of which 121,000 were in traditional album sales. (Like Illuminate, Mendes’ new album was boosted by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer.)

2018’s Second-Largest Week for a Pop Album: Mendes’ bow of 182,000 units is the second-biggest week for a pop set in 2018. It trails only Justin Timberlake’s No. 1 arrival with Man of the Woods (293,000 units; Feb. 17-dated chart).

Second-Largest Streaming Week of 2018 for a Pop Album: SEA units comprise 34,000 of Mendes’ overall starting unit sum. As each SEA unit represents 1,500 on-demand audio streams, that means Mendes’ album earned 50.3 million streams for its tracks in its opening week. That’s Mendes’ biggest streaming week ever, and the second-biggest streaming week for a pop set in 2018, following only the debut frame of Timberlake’s Man of the Woods (37,000 SEA units, equaling 55.2 million on-demand audio streams).

Third-Youngest Artist to Earn Three No. 1 Albums: As Mendes is 19 years and 10 months old, he becomes just the third solo artist to collect three No. 1 albums at such a young age. Just two acts notched their first three No. 1s at younger ages: Justin Bieber was 17 years and eight months old when he topped the list with his third leader (Under the Mistletoe, in 2011) and Miley Cyrus was just 15 years and eight months old when she collected her third No. 1 (Breakout, in 2008).

Fifth-Biggest Sales Week of 2018: Mendes’ sales bow of 142,000 copies sold is the fifth-biggest sales week of the year. Ahead of it: the debut weeks of Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (153,000), Jason Aldean’s Rearview Town (162,000), J. Cole’s KOD(174,000) and Timberlake’s Man of the Woods (242,000).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Post Malone’s former No. 1 beerbongs & bentleysis a non-mover with 104,000 units (down 15 percent).

Pusha T notches his highest charting album yet, as his third studio set, Daytona, debuts at No. 3. The seven-track album bows with 77,000 units, of which 39,000 were in traditional album sales. Interestingly, unlike most hip-hop albums lately, over half of Daytona’s starting sum was powered by traditional album sales. SEA units represented 36,000 of its overall launch. But, since Daytona only has seven tracks, the album’s SEA start is still impressive, as it collected 53.8 million on-demand audio streams for those seven songs during the tracking week.

Pusha T previously visited the top 10 once before, with My Name Is My Name, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in 2013.

Coming in at No. 4 on the new Billboard 200 is A$AP Rocky’s Testing, bowing with 75,000 units (album sales represent 13,000 of that figure). SEA units drive the debut, as the album starts with 60,000 SEA units (89.3 million on-demand audio streams). It’s the third straight top five-charting effort for the hip-hop star, following a pair of No. 1s: At.Long.Last.A$AP (in 2015) and Long.Live.A$AP (2013).

Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy holds steady at No. 5 on the new Billboard 200, tallying 47,000 units (down two percent). BTS’ Love Yourself: Tear falls from No. 1 to No. 6 in its second week with 46,000 units (down 66 percent). Lil Baby’s Harder Than Everslips 3-7 in its second week with 45,000 units (down 36 percent).

At No. 8, hip-hop artist Juice WRLD nabs his first top 10 with his debut studio set, as Goodbye & Good Riddance jumps seven spots in its second chart week with 43,000 units (up 84 percent). The big rise is owed to the album logging its first full tracking week, after debuting on the list a week earlier from only two days of activity (the set was released on May 23, during the tracking week that ended on May 25).

Rounding out the new top 10: The Greatest Showman soundtrack falls 6-9 with 43,000 units (down 2 percent) and J. Cole’s KOD dips 7-10 with 37,000 units (down 9 percent).

It’s the first K-pop album to top the chart.

Korean boy band BTS debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with its latest effort, Love Yourself: Tear. It’s the first No. 1 for the seven-member group, and the first K-pop album to lead the tally. The set, which was released through BitHit Entertainment on May 18, launches with 135,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 24, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 100,000 were in traditional album sales.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new June 2-dated chart (where BTS bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Wednesday, May 30 (one day later than normal, owed to the May 29 Memorial Day holiday in the U.S.).

Love Yourself: Tear’s first-week sum is a bit bigger than expected. On May 21, some industry forecasters predicted the album would bow with over 100,000 units. By May 24, that forecast grew to over 120,000.

Of Love Yourself: Tear’s starting sum of 135,000 units, 100,000 were in traditional album sales, 26,000 were in SEA units (equaling 39.1 million on-demand audio streams for songs on the albums) and 9,000 TEA units.

As mentioned earlier, Love Yourself: Tear is the first K-pop album to lead the Billboard 200. It’s also only the second top 10 for the K-pop genre, following BTS’ own Love Yourself: Her, which debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the Oct. 7, 2017-dated list.

Love Yourself: Tear also logs the biggest week yet for K-pop (both in overall units and traditional album sales). The previous high-water mark was earned by BTS’ Love Yourself: Her (31,000 units in its opening frame, 18,000 in traditional album sales).

Notably, as Love Yourself: Tear is performed mostly in the Korean language, it’s the first primarily foreign-language No. 1 album in over 12 years. In 2006, classical crossover vocal quartet Il Divo topped the list with Ancora (on the chart dated Feb. 11, 2006), which blends songs performed in Spanish, Italian and French, along with a track sung partially in English.

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, Post Malone’s former No. 1, beerbongs & bentleys, drops to No. 2 (123,000 units; down 17 percent) after three consecutive weeks atop the list. The album was the first by an artist to notch three weeks in a row at No. 1 since December, when Taylor Swift’s reputation linked together three frames (of its total four at No. 1).

Rapper Lil Baby bounces in at No. 3 with his debut studio album, and first top 10, Harder Than Ever. The set earned 71,000 units, powered largely by streams (65,000 SEA units), thanks in part to the popularity of the set’s track “Yes Indeed,” with Drake. The track debuted at No. 30 on the Streaming Songs chart dated May 26, and is expected to make a huge leap up the newest tally (dated June 2). Harder Than Ever also features guest turns from Young Thug, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Uzi Vert and Offset.

Lil Baby previously hit the Billboard 200 with the mixtape Too Hard, which peaked at No. 80 on Dec. 23, 2017.

Rock band Five Finger Death Punch notches its sixth top 10 album, as And Justice for None debuts at No. 4 with 71,000 units (60,000 in traditional album sales). The band previously hit the region with Got Your Six (No. 2, 2015), The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell: Volume 2 (No. 2, 2013), The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell: Volume 1 (No. 2, 2013), American Capitalist (No. 3, 2011) and War Is the Answer (No. 7, 2009). The group’s only studio album to miss the top 10 was its debut effort, The Way of the Fist, which topped out at No. 107 in 2008.

Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy climbs 7-5 on the new Billboard 200 with 48,000 units (down 9 percent), The Greatest Showman soundtrack moves 5-6 with 44,000 units (down 17 percent) and J. Cole’s KOD dips 6-7 with 41,000 units (down 22 percent).

Rapper NAV rounds out the debuts in the top 10, as his first studio album, Reckless, starts at No. 8 with 36,000 units (32,000 in SEA units). The set features his Hot 100 hit “Wanted You,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, as well as guest turns from Quavo, Travis Scott and Gunna.

Closing out the new top 10: Black Panther: The Album is steady at No. 9 with 28,000 units (down 15 percent), while Playboi Carti’s Die Lit falls 3-10 in its second week with 26,000 units (down 57 percent).

Rap songs infuse the top four in consecutive weeks for the first time since 2003.

Childish Gambino‘s “This Is America” crowns the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a second week. Also for a second frame, the song heads up a top four consisting entirely of rap hits, a feat that, until the past two weeks, had not occurred in consecutive frames in 15 years.

Let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated May 26), which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (May 22).

“America,” released on mcDJ/Wolf + Rothstein/RCA (as Childish Gambino’s first RCA single) is the first Hot 100 leader for actor-director Donald Glover’s musical alter ego, who premiered the song as the musical guest on the May 5 episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live (as Glover hosted); the song and its socially-conscious videowere released simultaneously around midnight ET Sunday, May 6.

Following its first seven-day tracking period of streaming and sales, “America” tops the Streaming Songs chart for a second week, up 7 percent to 69.6 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 17, according to Nielsen Music. It also takes over atop the subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart, rising 3-1 with 26.7 million on-demand audio streams, up 27 percent, in the week ending May 17.

“America” leads the Digital Song Sales survey for a second frame, with a 36 percent decline to 50,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 17, while advancing below the Radio Songs chart, up 77 percent to 16.7 million in all-format airplay audience in the week ending May 20.

“America” tops both Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a second week.

Drake‘s “Nice for What,” which ruled the Hot 100 for its first four weeks on the chart, dating to its No. 1 debut, spends a second week at No. 2. It keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (42 million, down 8 percent), rebounds 4-3 on Digital Song Sales (25,000, down 8 percent) and pushes 8-6 on Radio Songs (77.1 million, up 6 percent).

Drake also holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100 with “God’s Plan,” which launched at No. 1 and spent 11 weeks at the summit prior to “Nice.”

Post Malone‘s “Psycho,” featuring  Ty Dolla $ign, is additionally steady on the Hot 100, at No. 4 after reaching No. 2, while earning the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award, as it rises 9-8 on Radio Songs (75.4 million, up 12 percent).

For a second week, the Hot 100’s top four consists entirely of rap hits (and mirrors the top four on both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs). Is that especially notable?

You’re correct!

The last two weeks mark the first frames since Feb. 28, 2009, that the Hot 100’s top four have been a clean sweep for rap hits. Gambino’s “America,” Drake’s “Nice” and “Plan” and Post Malone’s “Psycho” the past two weeks have combined for the first such rap domination since, from No. 1 to No. 4 on that chart over nine years ago, Flo Rida’s “Right Round”; T.I.’s “Dead and Gone,” featuring Justin Timberlake; Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent’s “Crack a Bottle”; and Kanye West’s “Heartless.”

As for rap ruling the Hot 100’s top four in back-to-back weeks? The past two weeks mark the first such repeat in nearly 15 years. For four weeks in 2003, from May 31 through June 21, the top four exclusively housed in that span 50 Cent’s “21 Questions,” featuring Nate Dogg; Sean Paul’s “Get Busy”; Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey’s “I Know What You Want,” featuring The Flipmode Squad; Fabolous’ “Can’t Let You Go,” featuring Mike Shorey and Lil’ Mo; and Lil’ Kim’s “Magic Stick,” featuring 50 Cent (the lattermost of which replaced Fabolous’ hit in the region on the June 21-dated chart).

The current feat further reinforces R&B/hip-hop’s surge, as, in 2017, the genre ruled with 24.5 percent of all music consumption in the U.S., marking the first time that R&B/hip-hop led the category for a calendar year.

Capping the Hot 100’s top five, and standing as the highest-ranking non-rap hit, Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line‘s No. 2-peaking collab “Meant to Be” is stationary at No. 5. It leads the Hot Country Songs chart for a 25th week, passing FGL’s own “Cruise,” in 2012-13, for the longest command by a duo or group in the chart’s history and the second-longest overall; Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road” reigned for a record 34 weeks in 2017.

Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey‘s “The Middle” repeats at No. 6 on the Hot 100 after hitting a No. 5 high. It tops Radio Songs for a second week (118.2 million, down 1 percent) and the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 16th week.

Ariana Grande‘s “No Tears Left to Cry” climbs 10-7 on the Hot 100 after debuting three weeks ago at its No. 3 high; BlocBoy JB’s No. 5-peaking “Look Alive,” featuring Drake, drops 7-8; and Camila Cabello‘s “Never Be the Same” slips 8-9, down from its No. 6 peak.

Ed Sheeran‘s former six-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Perfect” rounds out the Hot 100’s top 10, descending 9-10. The song logs a 27th week in the top 10, becoming just the ninth title to have tallied at least that many weeks in the region. Sheeran holds the record for the longest such run: his “Shape of You” spent 33 weeks in the top 10 in 2017.

Below the Hot 100’s top 10, Ella Mai soars 17-11 with her breakthrough hit “Boo’d Up,” which becomes her first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart; Kane Brown hits the top 15 for the first time with “Heaven” (20-15); Marshmello and Anne-Marie’s “Friends” flies 21-16, marking a new best rank for Marshmello, who previously reached No. 20 in December with “Wolves,” with Selena Gomez; and Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood” ascends to the top 20 (27-20), passing its prior No. 22 high.

‘Beerbongs’ scores longest streak at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s ‘reputation’ last year.

For the third week in a row, Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys sits atop the Billboard 200 chart dated May 26, as the album earned 147,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 17 (down 24 percent), according to Nielsen Music.

The set is only the second album to notch three total weeks at No. 1 in 2018 (following Black Panther: The Album, which logged its three frames on top non-consecutively) and scores the longest streak at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s reputation linked together three consecutive weeks at No. 1 (Dec. 2-16, 2017) of its four total nonconsecutive No. 1 frames.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new May 26-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Tuesday, May 22.

Post Malone’s beerbongs is still largely powered by streams, as it collected 122,000 in SEA units (down 24 percent), while the remainder of its total for the week is comprised of 18,000 in traditional album sales (down 24 percent) and TEA units (down 16 percent).

At No. 2, P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma — as expected — comes roaring back up the Billboard 200 with an 83-2 vault (139,000 units; up 1,715 percent). The former No. 1 zooms up the list thanks to big sales (135,000; up 3,197 percent) mostly generated by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with the next leg of her U.S. tour that went on sale May 11.

Thanks to Beautiful Trauma’s big leap, it logs the largest positional jump into the top two in over 20 years. Radiohead’s In Rainbows last posted a bigger vault into the top two, when it ran from No. 156 to No. 1 on the Jan. 19, 2008-dated list. (The set had a large gain on the list owed to a premature debut a week prior, spurred by eager retailers that began selling the set before its official street date.)

Rapper Playboi Carti earns his best week yet, as his surprise release Die Lit debuts at No. 3 with 61,000 units. The album starts with a smashing 55,000 SEA units, with only 5,000 in traditional album sales and a scant 1,000 in TEA units. Die Lit garners the artist his highest charting set yet — and first top 10 — surpassing the No. 12 debut and peak of his self-titled 2017 release.

Pop singer-songwriter Charlie Puth nabs his highest charting album, as his second full-length studio effort Voicenotes launches at No. 4 with 58,000 units (mostly powered by traditional album sales: 39,000 copies sold). Voicenotes passes Puth’s previous peak on the list, when his debut full-length, 2016’s Nine Track Mind, topped out at No. 6 in its first week (65,000 units earned), Voicenotes is Puth’s third set to chart, as he also logged an entry with his introductory EP, Some Kind of Love, which reached No. 27 in 2015.

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman climbs 7-5 (a little more than 53,000 units; up 3 percent), J. Cole’s KOD dips 2-6 (53,000; down 22 percent) and Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy slips 4-7 (just under 53,000; down 15 percent).

Arctic Monkeys arrive with their third top 10 album, as Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino debuts at No. 8 with 47,000 units (37,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the alt-rock group’s first album since 2013’s AM, which reached No. 6. The act also collected a top 10 with 2007’s Favourite Worst Nightmare, which peaked at No. 7. In total, Tranquility lands Arctic Monkeys their sixth consecutive top 40 effort (their entirety of charting titles) since the band arrived on list in 2006 with the No. 24-peaking Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.

Black Panther: The Album holds steady at No. 9 on the new Billboard 200 with 33,000 units (up 12 percent).

Closing out the top 10 is rapper Tee Grizzley’s debut studio album Activated, which arrives at No. 10 with 33,000 units (with 26,000 of that in SEA units). The set boasts a guest list that includes Lil Yachty, Chris Brown, Jeezy and Moneybagg Yo.

The musical alter ego of Donald Glover earns his first leader, as the track launches as the most-streamed and top-selling song of the week.

Driven in large part by its buzzy, and socially-conscious video, Childish Gambino‘s new single “This Is America” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100chart, launching as the most-streamed and top-selling song of the week, as it also arrives atop the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts.

The track is the first Hot 100 leader for Donald Glover’s musical alter ego, who took the stage to unveil the song as the musical guest on the May 5 episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live (as Glover hosted); the song and its video were released simultaneously around midnight ET Sunday, May 6.

“America” dethrones Drake‘s “Nice for What,” which ruled the Hot 100 for its first four weeks on the chart, dating to its No. 1 debut. Drake’s reign halts at 15 weeks overall, as, prior to “What,” he led for 11 weeks with “God’s Plan,” which likewise launched at No. 1.

Meanwhile, Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey‘s “The Middle,” at No. 6 on the Hot 100, takes over as the most-heard song on radio, rising 2-1 on the Radio Songs chart.

Let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated May 19), which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (May 15).

“America,” released on mcDJ/Wolf + Rothstein/RCA (as Childish Gambino’s first RCA single) is the 1,073rd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 59-year history. Here’s a look at the song’s start.

No. 1 bow in streaming & sales: “America” opens atop Streaming Songs with 65.3 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 10, according to Nielsen Music (covering its first five days of availability). Notably, with the song’s official video garnering much attention, video accounts for an extremely robust 68 percent of the song’s streaming total.

“America” also starts at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales with 78,000 downloads sold in the same tracking period, while drawing 9.4 million in all-genre radio airplay audience in the week ending May 13 (as it enters the Rap Airplay chart at No. 20 and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay at No. 30).

Childish Gambino’s first No. 1: “America” is Childish Gambino’s first Hot 100 No. 1, or even top 10. He hit a previous No. 12 Hot 100 high last August with his fourth and most recent entry on the chart, “Redbone.” His three prior charted titles, in 2013-16, peaked between Nos. 64 and 86.

He likewise earns his first No. 1s on Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales, passing his prior respective highs of Nos. 10 and 14 with “Redbone.”

“America” concurrently begins atop Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, also marking Childish Gambino’s first No. 1 on each chart (which, like the Hot 100, mixes streaming, airplay and sales data).

31st No. 1 debut: “America” arrives as the 31st No. 1-debuting hit in the Hot 100’s history. “America” and Drake’s “Nice” (which entered atop the April 21-dated chart) and “Plan” (Feb. 3) further make for the first trio of back-to-back-to-back No. 1 debuts since 1995, when Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” (that Sept. 30), Whitney Houston’s “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” (Nov. 25) and Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” (Dec. 2) all opened atop the chart in succession.

Back then, a strong first week in physical sales (via cassette and CD, primarily) could help a song begin atop the Hot 100; now, a lofty first frame of streaming can similarly spark a No. 1 Hot 100 entrance. “Fantasy,” “Exhale” and “Sweet” launched with 229,000, 125,000 and 205,000 physical singles sold, respectively; Drake’s “Plan” and “Nice” entered with 82.4 million and 60.4 million U.S. streams, respectively.

Three No. 1 debuts in 2018: As noted by reader Jake Rivera‏ (@jjr4897), 2018 ties 1997 and 1998 as the years with the second-most No. 1 Hot 100 debuts (three each). 1995 leads, having supplied the chart’s first four No. 1 bows; before the three 1995 hits noted above, Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone” became the first single to start atop the Hot 100, that Sept. 2.

Acts who act: Meanwhile, fellow insightful chart watcher @rock_golf notes that, even with Drake’s departure from No. 1 on the Hot 100 after 15 weeks, the streak of an artist first known for acting as a student on a TV series extends to 16 weeks. Drake played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation, while Glover portrayed Troy Barnes on Community.

Glover is also the first Emmy Award-winning actor to top the Hot 100 since Justin Timberlake, who most recently led with “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” in 2016. Glover won two Emmys in 2017, for outstanding lead actor and outstanding directing in a comedy series for FX’s Atlanta, which he created. (Timberlake has taken home four Emmys, all for his music and/or acting on Saturday Night Live.)

‘America’ at No. 1: The Hot 100’s new leader is technically the first with “America” in its title, although three prior hits reigned with “American” in their names, all in the early 1970s: The Guess Who’s “American Woman”/”No Sugar Tonight” (three weeks, 1970); Don McLean’s “American Pie (Parts I & II)” (four, 1972); and Grand Funk’s “We’re an American Band” (one, 1973). Also in that span, the band America topped the Hot 100 with “A Horse With No Name,” for three weeks in 1972 (while one act with “USA” in its name has led: USA for Africa, with “We Are the World,” for four weeks in 1985).

Childish Gambino’s “America” is additionally a rare socially-themed Hot 100 No. 1 (such as “We Are the World”) and perhaps the most pointed example since Lady Gaga’s equality anthem “Born This Way” in 2011.

Drake’s “Nice” ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 following its first four frames at No. 1, while his former 11-week “Plan” holds at No. 3. As Drake’s run of consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100 ends at 15, he claims the fourth-longest such run in the chart’s history. The Black Eyed Peas ruled for 26 straight weeks in 2009 with “Boom Boom Pow” (12) and “I Gotta Feeling” (14); Usher led for 19 frames in a row with “Yeah!” (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris; 12) and “Burn” (seven) in 2004; and, Justin Bieber linked 17 straight weeks at No. 1 as featured (with Quavo, Chance The Rapper and Lil Wayne) on DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One” (one) and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (16) in 2017.

Despite its drop to No. 2 on the Hot 100, “Nice” is the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award-winner for a fourth week and enters the Radio Songs top 10 (11-8; 72 million, up 18 percent), becoming Drake’s 20th top on the airplay tally. He ties Lil Wayne for the most Radio Songs top 10s among solo males, dating to the chart’s December 1990 inception, with the hip-hop stars trailing only the totals of Rihanna (29) and Mariah Carey (23).

Post Malone‘s “Psycho,” featuring  Ty Dolla $ign, drops to No. 4 from its No. 2 Hot 100 high, while, like “Nice,” hitting the Radio Songs top 10 (12-9; 67.7 million, up 13 percent). Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign each earn their second Radio Songs top 10.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line‘s fellow No. 2-peaking collab “Meant to Be” dips 4-5. It leads the Hot Country Songs chart for a 24th week, tying FGL’s own “Cruise,” in 2012-13, for the longest command by a duo or group in the chart’s history and the second-longest overall; Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road” ruled for a record 34 weeks in 2017.

Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey’s “The Middle” slips to No. 6 from its No. 5 Hot 100 peak but is the newly-minted most-heard song on U.S. radio: It lifts 2-1 on Radio Songs (119.1 million, down percent), becoming the first leader on the list for each act. The track tops the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 15th week.

BlocBoy JB’s No. 5-peaking “Look Alive,” featuring Drake, rebounds 9-7 on the Hot 100 and Camila Cabello‘s “Never Be the Same” descends to No. 8 from its No. 6 high reached last week.

Ed Sheeran‘s former six-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Perfect” returns to the top 10 (12-9). The song logs a 26th week in the top 10, becoming just the 10th title to have tallied at least a half-year in the region. Sheeran holds the record for the longest stay: his “Shape of You” spent 33 weeks in the top 10 in 2017.

Capping the Hot 100’s top 10, Ariana Grande‘s “No Tears Left to Cry” spends a second week at No. 10 after debuting two weeks ago at No. 3.

Below the Hot 100’s top tier, Imagine Dragons’ “Whatever It Takes” leaps to a new peak (21-12), while crowning the Hot Rock Songs chart for a seventh week; Travis Scott’s “Watch,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Kanye West, clocks a No. 16 Hot 100 debut, as it opens at No. 7 on Streaming Songs (23.9 million); Ella Mai’s first Hot 100 hit, “Boo’d Up,” bounds 37-17; Nicki Minaj’s No. 10 hit “Chun-Li” rebounds 50-19 after the May 4 release of its official video, as it soars 43-13 on Streaming Songs (21.2 million, up 42 percent, good for the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer nod); and Kane Brown hits the Hot 100’s top 20 for the first time with “Heaven” (28-20).

Plus: Top 10 debuts from Leon Bridges, Shinedown, Rae Sremmurd and Lake Street Dive.

Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys lands a second straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the set earned 193,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 10 (down 58 percent from its debut frame), according to Nielsen Music.

Malone is joined by four debuts in the top 10, as new efforts from Leon Bridges, Shinedown, Rae Sremmurd and Lake Street Dive all bow in the region.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new May 19-dated chart (where Malone holds at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Tuesday, May 15.

Beerbongs is just the third title to rack up multiple weeks at No. 1 in 2018, and the first by an artist, following Black Panther: The Album (with three weeks at No. 1) and The Greatest Showman soundtrack (two weeks in the top slot). Beerbongs is also the first album by an artist to notch back-to-back weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s reputation spent its first three weeks atop the tally (Dec. 2-16, 2017). (Reputationclocked one further week at No. 1, on the Jan. 6, 2018 chart.)

Beerbongs’ second week on the list is powered by streaming activity, as it garnered 160,000 SEA units (down 44 percent). In terms of traditional album sales, it sold 24,000 copies (down 85 percent), while TEA units equaled just 9,000 (down 59 percent).

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, J. Cole’s former No. 1 KOD rises one rung with 68,000 units (down 35 percent).

Singer-songwriter Bridges debuts at No. 3 with his second album, Good Thing. The title earned 66,000 units, with the bulk of that figure driven by traditional album sales (59,000). Both sums represent high-water marks for the artist. Good Thing is the top-selling album of the week as well, and launches at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.

Good Thing lands Bridges his highest-charting effort, as his debut set Coming Homedebuted and peaked at No. 6 in 2015, off a start of 42,000 units (38,000 in sales). Bridges’ sales launch, and the debuts of Shinedown and Lake Street Dive (more on them later), benefit greatly from concert ticket/album sale redemption offers with their latest tours.

Cardi B’s previous chart-topper, Invasion of Privacy, holds at No. 4 with 62,000 units (down 13 percent).

Rock band Shinedown scores its fourth top 10, as ATTENTION ATTENTION bows at No. 5 with 60,000 units (55,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the group’s fourth consecutive studio album to bow in the top 10, following Threat to Survival (No. 6 in 2015), Amaryllis (No. 4, 2012), and The Sound of Madness (No. 8, 2008). The group made its Billboard 200 debut nearly 15 years ago, when Leave a Whisper arrived on the Aug. 2, 3003-dated list at No. 159, on its way to a No. 53 peak in August of 2004.

The new album was led by the single “Devil,” which holds at its peak of No. 2 on the most recently-published Mainstream Rock Songs chart (dated May 12). The band holds a record 23 top five hits on the list, which is the entirety of the act’s charting efforts. Among those 23 entries are 11 No. 1s.

Rae Sremmurd’s three-part album, SR3MM, starts at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with 57,000 units, giving the hip-hop duo (Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi) its third straight top 10. The 27-song set comprises three parts: SR3MM (Rae Sremmurd’s third studio set; the first nine songs of the project), Swaecation (the second nine songs, credited as a solo project from Swae Lee) and Jxmtro (the final nine songs, a solo offering from Slim Jxmmi).

The resilient soundtrack to The Greatest Showman spends a 20th consecutive week in the top 10, as the album shifts 5-7 in its 22nd week on the tally (52,000 units; down 10 percent). The album debuted at No. 71 on the Dec. 30, 2017-dated list, jumped to No. 63 the next week, and then vaulted to No. 5 the following frame and has been in the top 10 ever since. The album spent two weeks atop the tally (Jan. 13 and 20).

Rock band Lake Street Dive nabs its first Billboard 200 top 10 album and highest-charting effort yet, as its new set Free Yourself Up arrives at No. 8. The album also garners the group its biggest week yet in terms of units and traditional album sales, as it earned 32,000 units (of which 30,000 were in traditional album sales). Previously, the band’s high-water mark on the chart came with 2014’s Bad Self Portraits, which debuted and peaked at No. 18.

Rounding out the Billboard 200’s new top 10 are former No. 1s Black Panther: The Album (moving 13-9 with 30,000 units; up 4 percent) and Migos’ Culture II (climbing 12-10 with 29,000 units; down 5 percent).

“Nice” leads for a fourth week, Post Malone boasts three songs in the top 10 & Cabello earns her third solo top 10.

Drake‘s “Nice for What” rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a fourth week, covering its entire run on the ranking, dating to its No. 1 debut.

Meanwhile, Post Malone sports three songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously for the first time, led by “Psycho,” featuring  Ty Dolla $ign, which returns to its No. 2 high, as parent album beerbongs & bentleys debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200with the biggest streaming week ever for an album.

Plus, Camila Cabello collects her third top 10 as a soloist, as “Never Be the Same” surges from No. 13 to No. 6 and reigns as the week’s top-selling song, helped by its new remix with country artist Kane Brown.

Let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated May 12), which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (May 8).

As on the Hot 100, “Nice,” released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, spends a fourth week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, down 9 percent to 48.5 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 3, according to Nielsen Music.

Drake has now spent 35 cumulative weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, dating to his first week on top as featured on Rihanna’s “What’s My Name?” (Nov. 20, 2010), the first of his five No. 1s. With his latest frame at the summit, he passes Elton John for the third-most weeks at No. 1 among solo males in the chart’s 59-year history. Usher leads with 47, followed by Michael Jackson (37). Among all artists, Drake passes John for a solo share of eighth place; Mariah Carey leads all acts with 79 weeks at No. 1.

“Nice” concurrently tops Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songscharts for a fourth week each.

Post Malone’s “Psycho,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, rebounds 5-2 on the Hot 100, returning to its peak; it debuted at No. 2 on the chart dated March 10 and had spent the next eight weeks between Nos. 3 and 5. As Post Malone’s second album, beerbongs & bentleys blasts in atop the Billboard 200, the song surges 8-2 on Streaming Songs (47.8 million, up 40 percent, as it scores the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer nod).

Plus, the rapper/singer debuts at No. 7 on the Hot 100 with the set’s “Better Now,” while former eight-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage (also on the album), rebounds 32-8. The tracks rank at Nos. 4 (34 million) and 6 (32.1 million, up 77 percent) on Streaming Songs, respectively.

Post Malone is the 18th artist in the Hot 100’s history with at least three concurrent top 10s; he’s one of two such acts this week, as Drake earns the honor for a fifth straight week thanks to “Nice”; “God’s Plan,” down 2-3 after tallying its first 11 weeks at No. 1; and his featured turn on BlocBoy JB’s “Look Alive,” which holds at No. 9 after reaching No. 5.

Below “Nice,” “Psycho” and “Plan,” Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line‘s “Meant to Be” is steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2. It leads the Radio Songs chart for a fifth week (130 million, down 5 percent) and Hot Country Songsfor a 23rd frame.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey‘s “The Middle” rises from No. 7 back to its No. 5 high, as the collab leads the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 14th week.

Camila Cabello roars to the Hot 100’s top 10, as “Never Be the Same” vaults 13-6, aided by its new remix with Kane Brown, released April 27. The song soars 10-1 on Digital Song Sales (51,000, up 120 percent, as it wins the Hot 100’s sales-based top Digital Gainer honor), becoming Cabello’s second leader on the list; prior single “Havana,” featuring Young Thug, ruled for two weeks beginning Dec. 2. “Never” keeps at No. 4 on Radio Songs (105 million, up 5 percent) and re-enters Streaming Songs at No. 48 (14 million, up 19 percent).

Cabello earns her third Hot 100 top 10 as a soloist, following “Havana” (No. 1, one week) and “Bad Things,” with Machine Gun Kelly (No. 4, 2017).

Plus, in June 2016, Fifth Harmony hit No. 4 on the Hot 100 with “Work From Home,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign; Cabello was a member of the group from its 2012 inception through December 2016.

As previously reported, “Never” becomes Cabello’s third solo No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart.

(“Same” but different: One prior hit titled “Never Be the Same” fell just shy of the Hot 100’s top 10: Christopher Cross’ song reached No. 15 in 1980. Honorable mention to Spanky and Our Gang’s “Sunday Will Never Be the Same,” which rose to No. 9 in 1967.)

The aforementioned “Better,” “Rockstar” and “Look Alive” rank at Nos. 7, 8 and 9 on the Hot 100, respectively, while Ariana Grande drops to No. 10 with “No Tears Left to Cry,” which debuted a week ago at No. 3. It falls 1-5 on Digital Song Sales (26,000, down 74 percent) and 5-13 on Streaming Songs (25.3 million, down 31 percent), while flying 35-23 on Radio Songs (37.6 million, up 37 percent).
