Eusexua, notably, ends the reign of Charli XCX’s Brat on Top Dance Albums. Brat spent 33 weeks at No. 1 — encompassing the entirety of its chart run — and dips to No. 2 with 16,000 units.
Eusexua concurrently starts at No. 24 on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest charting album of FKA Twigs’ career.
She also debuts five songs from the album on Billboard’s recently launched Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart: “Childlike Things” featuring North West (No. 6), “Striptease” (No. 9), “Eusexua” (No. 10), “Girl Feels Good” (No. 12) and “Perfect Stranger” (No. 15).
Billboard launched the 15-position Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart beginning on the Jan. 18-dated rankings. The chart ranks the most popular current dance/pop songs, featuring titles with dance-centric vocals, melody and hooks, by artists not traditionally rooted in the dance/electronic genre. That same week, the publication revamped its Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. The 25-position list ranks the most popular current dance/electronic songs, billed to DJs, producers and long-standing core artists in the dance/electronic genre, with an emphasis on electronic-based production.
