Who’s really running the charts this week — the pop queens, the country king, or the global K-pop wave?
The Billboard 200 chart continues to heat up this week, but once again, The Life of A Showgirl refuses to budge from the top spot. The album pulls in another 338,000 units, bringing its total to a massive 4.34 million since release. This marks its second consecutive week at #1, cementing its dominance in a year stacked with heavyweight releases.
Following close behind is Kpop Demon Hunters, the official Netflix soundtrack, which continues to surprise industry watchers. The project earns 104,000 units this week, pushing its total to 1.63 million. The soundtrack, which already peaked at #1 for two weeks, remains a streaming powerhouse thanks to its loyal fanbase and global appeal.
Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem holds steady at #3 with 79,000 units, maintaining impressive longevity at over 3.49 million total units. Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? stays put at #4 with 50,000 units, showing no signs of slowing down after topping the chart earlier. Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend rounds out the top five, adding 45,000 units to its already-strong 794,000 total.
Keep an eye on next week’s chart, because with release season heating up, we could be in for a serious shake-up.
