Travis Scott 'Utopia' Billboard 200
According to Billboard, "Utopia" spends its fourth consecutive week at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. Notably, it's the first rap album to spend its first four weeks at No. 1 in the last five years.
Drake's "Scorpion" was the last one to do so in 2018. His "Certified Lover Boy" achieved five weeks atop but it was nonconsecutive.
Luminate, Billboard's official data-cruncher, tallied that "Utopia" logged 161,000 album units in its fourth week. Meanwhile, it's album sales dropped 7% to 92,000. Likewise, streaming fell 20$ to 69,000, which translates to 92.07 million streams.
The publication reported that the domination of the album in the charts was primarily attributed to the promo offer on Scott's official website. "Utopia" Vinyls are sold for $5 to $50 for a limited time. 89,000 of the 92,000 units were vinyl sales.
Aside from this, "Utopia" officially becomes Scott's longest-reigning No. 1 album of his career, beating "Astroworld's" 3-week reign at the top.
Hozier 'Unreal Unearth' Billboard 200
Meanwhile, Hozier's newest album, "Unreal Unearth" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, failing to beat "Utopia's" No. 1 reign.
It is officially the Irish singer's third Top 10 hit, as "Hozier" landed at No. 2, "Wasteland, Baby!" launched at No. 1, while the latest one only reached No. 3.
"Unreal Unearth" logged 62,000 album units, with 23,000 streaming units and 39,000 pure album sale units.
His song "Eat Your Young," the album's lead single, topped the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart on the May 20 list.
Vinyl sales boosted the album to the third spot, which made up 23,000 of its 39,000 unit sales. Reportedly, the album set was released in five different variations on Amazon, indie record outlets, and his official website.
