‘Encanto’ Leaps Past Gunna and the Weeknd to Retake Top Album Spot; ‘Bruno’ Song Keeps Soaring Through Top 10

“We don’t speak about ‘Encanto’” is a phrase that could be being stated within the Gunna and Weeknd households this week, as each of these hit artists needed to step apart to let the smash Disney soundtrack reclaim its No. 1 place atop the Billboard 200 album chart.

“Encanto” continues to develop, with 104,000 album-equivalent models — a 9% improve — pushing it again to the highest. Final week’s No. 1, Gunna’s “DS4Ever,” slips a spot to second place with 96,000 models, a decline of 36% from its opening body. The Weeknd’s “Daybreak FM,” which bowed final week at No. 3, additionally fell a spot, with 61,000 models, representing a decline of 59%.

On the Scorching 100 songs chart, in the meantime, “Encanto” additionally made its presence firmly identified. The unlikely hit “We Don’t Discuss About Bruno” moved as much as No. 2 — held again from the highest solely by Adele’s long-running streak there — and different tune from the soundtrack, “Floor Strain,” butted into the highest 10 for the primary time, touchdown proper at No. 10. In response to Billboard, this marks the primary time two songs from a Disney soundtrack have ever been within the high 10 in a single week.

So how shut did the No. 2 “We Don’t Discuss About Bruno” come to toppling Adele’s “Straightforward on Me” from its tenth straight week lording over the Scorching 100? Not very, truly. As crazily spectacular because the streaming and gross sales numbers for “Bruno” have been, it’s getting virtually no radio play, which is a considerable consideration within the components that go into the Scorching 100 chart. That doesn’t diminish its accomplishment, however it does imply the Scorching 100 is one chart the place it stands more durable odds of pulling out an upset than it has on different charts.

For the week, “Straightforward on Me” had 99 million radio impressions, versus 457,000 for “We Don’t Discuss About Bruno” (which isn’t being promoted to radio in any respect) — about as broad a disparity as there might probably be between the Nos. 1-2 songs on the Scorching 100. However issues are practically as lopsided within the different route once you examine streams for the songs. Adele’s chart-topper drew 14.3 million streams within the U.S. in the course of the week, versus 32.4 million for “Bruno.”

The “Encanto” track has loads of bragging rights, anyway, even when it by no means will get to No. 1 on the Scorching 100. It’s the second-highest charting single for any track from a a Disney movie, its present No. 2 standing placing it solely behind “A Entire New World” from “Aladdin,” which did make it to the highest 29 years in the past.

The opposite “Encanto” track within the high 10, “Floor Strain” by Jessica Darrow, bought there by gathering 22.5 million streams and promoting 6,500 digital downloads. Additionally missing airplay, simply as the opposite “Encanto” contender does, “Floor Strain” holds greater positions on charts in wich airplay will not be an element, presently lodged at No. 4 on each the streaming songs and digital track gross sales rankings. Given the soundtrack’s total momentum, it’s sure to be shifting up by means of the Scorching 100’s high 10 as nicely.

Glass Animals’ “Warmth Waves” held regular at No. 3 on the Scorching 100, however there was room for celebration in regard to a different chart: It lastly reached No. 1 on Billboard’s pop airplay rating this week.

The most important album to be debuting on the Billboard 200 was the Lumineers’ newest, “Brightside.” It entered at No 6, with 37,000 album-equivalent models.
