Lady Gaga's 'Perfect Illusion' Makes Its Hot 100 Debut

Quote:

Lady Gaga's new single "Perfect Illusion" debuts at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Oct. 1).

Following its first full week of tracking, "Illusion," released to radio at 11 p.m. ET Sept. 8, and shortly after to streaming and retail services, bounds onto the Digital Songs sales chart at No. 2 with 100,000 first-week downloads sold in the week ending Sept. 15, according to Nielsen Music. It also launches on the Streaming Songs chart at No. 25 with 8.3 million first-week U.S. streams. It ranks just below the Radio Songs chart with 22 million in airplay audience, in the tracking period ending Sept. 18. (All three rankings run 50 positions deep).

The Chainsmokers Top Hot 100, DJ Snake & Justin Bieber Bound to Top 10

Quote:

"Closer," released on Disruptor/Columbia Records, and the first Hot 100 No. 1 for both EDM duo The Chainsmokers (Drew Taggart and Alex Pall) and featured alt/pop singer-songwriter Halsey, spends a sixth week atop the Digital Songs chart with 170,000 downloads sold (down 15 percent) in the week ending Sept. 15, according to Nielsen Music.

"Closer" tops the Streaming Songs chart for a fifth week, with 39.5 million U.S. streams (down 2 percent), and the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Songs streaming chart (23.3 million on-demand clicks, down 4 percent) for a sixth frame. On Radio Songs, "Closer" jumps 9-4, drawing 113 million in airplay audience, up 24 percent; it wins the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a third week. "Closer" additionally tops Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a fifth week.

Jason Alden Achieves Third Straight No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart

Quote:

Jason Aldean earns his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with arrival of They Don’t Know. The set, which was released on Sept. 9 through Macon/Broken Bow Records, earned 138,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Sept. 15, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 131,000 were in traditional album sales.

Drake’s former No. 1, Views, rises one rung to No. 2 with 59,000 units. Streams of the set’s songs continue to drive the album’s high rank on the chart. In the latest tracking week, Views’ streaming equivalent units totaled 43,000. (That equals 63.8 million streams of Views’ songs.) Views was the most-streamed album of the week, by total streams of its songs. Comparably, Aldean’s They Don’t Know logged only 1.5 million streams for its tracks.

The Suicide Squad soundtrack also rises a notch, to No. 3, with 52,000 units. Unlike Views, the Suicide Squad soundtrack’s units are evenly distributed across traditional album sales (19,000 copies sold), track equivalent albums (16,000), and streaming equivalent albums (17,000).

The Beatles notch their 32nd top 10 album, as Live at the Hollywood Bowl debuts at No. 7 with 36,000 units (35,000 in traditional album sales). The group last hit the top 10 in 2013 with On Air: Live at the BBC Volume 2 (No. 7).

Rounding out the new top 10 on the Billboard 200 are Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman (rising 11-9 with 30,000 units; up 19 percent) and Florida Georgia Line’s Dig Your Roots (dipping 5-10 with 30,000 units; down 29 percent).

Good on Ariana for returning. I'm assuming it was the streaming from the STS song, no

Can't wait for Drake to return to #1.
