March’s Top Artists
Uzi’s Big Comeback
Lil Uzi Vert fans have been waiting for the Philadelphia rapper’s second album for nearly three years. And on March 6th, Eternal Atake arrived with the velocity of a NASA launch, topping the RS 100. Thanks to a deluxe version featuring an additional 14 tracks, the album has racked up nearly 1 billion on-demand streams to date.
Weeknd’s Solitary Soundtrack
If there was a pop album meant to be released during social distancing, it might be After Hours. The Weeknd’s fourth studio album, which starts with “Alone Again” and gets more solitary from there, is his most successful debut yet, moving almost 200,000 more units in its first week than its predecessor, 2016’s Starboy.
Jhené Aiko Leans On Friends
Aiko’s Chilombo is proof that there’s strength in numbers. The pop star’s third studio album is stacked with features from Nas, Future, Big Sean, and others. It debuted at Number Two on the RS 200 with nearly 150,000 units. “B.S.,” a team-up with H.E.R., has been the album’s runaway hit, peaking at Number 10 on the RS 100.
