YOUR LIL CHART STORY

The numbers are in, and Lil Uzi Vert has topped this week’s Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart with 126k for Luv Is Rage 2 (Generation Now/Atlantic). Two more debuts make up the Top 3, as XXXTentacion’s 17 (Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE) bows with 86k at #2 and Queens of the Stone Age’s Villains (Matador) comes in at #3 with 73k.

There are actually six new releases in the Top 10 this week. You’ll find Fifth Harmony’s Fifth Harmony (SYCO/Epic) at #5 with 46k, Old Dominion’s Happy Endings (RCA Nashville) at #6 with a little more than 40k and A$AP Mob’s Cozy Tapes Vol.2: Too Cozy (A$AP Worldwide/Polo Grounds/RCA) at #7 with just south of 40k. The only other debut to make the Top 20 is The War on Drugs’ A Deeper Understanding (Atlantic), which appears at #12 with 27k.

Following an emotional (and the most-needle-moving) performance at the MTV VMAs, Logic’s Everybody (Def Jam), which houses suicide-prevention track “1-800-273-8255,” soars #29-9, up more than 100%, moving approximately 33k. The hit song also jumps #14-6 on our Streaming Songs Chart this week.

When it comes to SPS marketshare, SME leads at #1 by a hair with 31%, while UMG and WMG tie at #2 with 30% each, and the indies follow with 10%.

Streeting this week are albums from Columbia’s LCD Soundsystem and labelmates The Script.

By the way, if you’ve gotten to this point of the chart story on the Friday before Labor Day, we suggest you take a long look in the mirror (that is, after shotgunning two beers and a blended shake of cheeseburgers and steak”). #Murrica.
