Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’ Repeats at No. 1

Travis Scott is No. 1 on the Billboard album chart for a second time this week, whereas Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” logs its sixteenth time as the highest single.

“Utopia,” Scott’s first new solo album in 5 years — and the primary since his Astroworld Festival in 2021, the place 10 folks had been crushed to dying — holds the highest spot on the Billboard 200 with the equal of 147,000 gross sales within the United States, based on the monitoring service Luminate. That whole contains 146 million streams and 37,000 copies of the LP bought as a whole bundle.

With fewer rap albums topping the charts lately — nation, pop, R&B and Latin have been extra in favor — “Utopia” is the primary in over a 12 months to notch greater than a single week at No. 1. In April 2022, Tyler, the Creator’s “Call Me if You Get Lost” logged its second time on the high, because of the delayed launch of that album’s vinyl model. (“Call Me” had opened at No. 1 9 months earlier than.) The final rap album to spend at the very least its first two weeks at No. 1 was Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy” in September 2021; it held on the high for 3 weeks, then later returned for an additional two.

Wallen’s album “One Thing at a Time” is No. 2, whereas his tune “Last Night,” a monster hit on streaming providers and pop radio, holds at No. 1 on the Hot 100. With 16 weeks atop the singles chart, “Last Night” is on a uncommon streak, tying Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” from 2017, and “One Sweet Day,” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, from 1995. Only Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” with 19 weeks in 2019, had an extended run on the high.

Also this week, the “Barbie” soundtrack, that includes Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Lizzo, is the No. 3 album, and Taylor Swift logs 4 albums within the Top 10: “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” (No. 4), “Midnights” (No. 5), “Lover” (No. 6) and “Folklore” (No. 9).
