5 JOJI Smithereen­s

- —KEITH CAULFIELD

Joji tallies his third straight top five-charting set on the Billboard 200 as his latest, Smithereen­s, starts at No. 5 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Nov. 10, according to Luminate. Streaming-equivalent album units comprise 39,500 of that sum (equaling 53 million ondemand official streams of the set’s nine tracks), album sales comprise 17,500 (bolstered by a Target-exclusive edition of the CD and assorted deluxe box sets sold on Joji’s web store), and track-equivalent album units are negligible.

Smithereen­s was preceded by Joji’s first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Glimpse of Us,” — the album’s lead single — which peaked at No. 8 (July 2-dated chart).

Also in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, Steve Lacy’s Gemini Rights returns to the region for the first time since its No. 7 debut in July following its

Nov. 4 release on vinyl (8,000 sold; No. 3 debut on Vinyl Albums). The album lifts 17-10 on the chart.
