The Weeknd is poised to have one of the biggest pop record releases of 2015, with five singles already reaching the Billboard Hot 100, including the No. 1 hit "Can't Feel My Face." Now you can listen to an 18-minute mash-up, titled "The Leak," of the neo-R&B singer's album 'Beauty Behind The Madness' on Soundcloud. -
A$AP Rocky No. 1 on Billboard 200 Again; Boosie BadAzz, Hillsong United Follow
Another hip-hop performer takes the top spot on the Billboard 200 with a surprise album as A$AP Rocky and At.Long.Last.A$AP debuts with 146,000 equivalent units in its first week. That may seem like more than his last album, Long.Live.A$AP (which also debuted at no. 1), however that album opened with 139,000 actual copies sold, while the new Billboard metrics also take single downloads and streams into consideration. In that light, A.L.L.A. only sold 117,000 copies. Of course, week two could also be strong due to the surprise nature of the release. -
'Pitch Perfect 2' Soundtrack Sales Up, Snoop Dogg 'Bush' Numbers Down
'Pitch Perfect 2' might not have a "Cups" yet (technically Anna Kendrick does perform her song on the new soundtrack but it's not a Hot 100 smash anymore) but it still managed something that the previous film's song collection didn't: topping the albums charts. The record, boosted by medleys featuring dozens of hit songs, won the sales battle this week by moving 91,000 copies. -
Mumford & Sons Top Billboard 200, 'Fifty Shades' Gets Mother's Day Boost
Mumford & Sons remains a rock band to beat on the Billboard 200, gathering its second no. 1 record with Wilder Mind. Although the band's original alternative fan base has raised an eyebrow at the use of electric guitars on the new set, sales still came out to 249,000-trailing only Drake and Kendrick Lamar for biggest debut of 2015 thus far. Although nothing to frown at, it's still a relatively low sales figure for Mumford, which sold 600,000 copies of Babel when that album dropped during 2012. -
Zac Brown, Josh Groban and Tyler Farr Top Albums Chart with New Releases
The Zac Brown Band and its new album 'Jekyll + Hyde' tops the Billboard album charts this week, as a trio of new records—including numbers from Josh Groban and Tyler Farr—also enter in the Top 3 places. -
Zac Brown Band Tops Billboard 200 Third Time with 'Jekyll + Hyde'
The Zac Brown Band found itself on top of the Billboard 200 for the third time with its new album 'Jekyll + Hyde.' Although it wasn't the group's biggest sales week (that goes to its last record, 'Uncaged') but it still managed to move 228,000 equivalent albums. The band has also been busy away from album sales, topping both the Country Airplay Chart and the Mainstream Rock Songs charts with different songs from the album. The only other act in Nielsen history to hit that mark was Bon Jovi.
