This week, Disney’s “Encanto” soundtrack notches its ninth, and presumably final, time on the highest of the Billboard chart.
The “Encanto” album, with songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, like “We Don’t Discuss About Bruno” and “Floor Stress,” that have been amplified by TikTok into streaming blockbusters, holds the No. 1 spot with the equal of 72,500 gross sales in the US, together with 93 million streams, in accordance with the monitoring service MRC Information.
That’s the longest run on the Billboard 200 chart since Morgan Wallen’s “Harmful: The Double Album,” which dominated for 10 weeks final 12 months. However the numbers for “Encanto” have been slipping for weeks, and it might have lastly met a challenger that might oust it: “7220,” by the Chicago rapper Lil Durk, which was launched on Friday and is predicted to make a splash on the subsequent chart.
Additionally this week, “What It Means to Be King,” a posthumous album by King Von, who died in late 2020 at age 26, opened at No. 2 with the equal of 59,000 gross sales, together with 79 million streams.
Wallen’s “Harmful” holds at No. 3 in its 61st week on the chart; of these, 60 have been spent within the High 10. Kodak Black’s “Again for All the things” is No. 4 and Gunna’s “DS4Ever” is No. 5.
