Big Sean heated up with a handful of singles in 2024 including The Alchemist-helmed “Together Forever” as well as “On Up,” “Yes,” “Ya Don’t Stop” and “Precision.” He also guested on Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady single “Tobey” featuring BabyTron.

The set sold nearly 7,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 22, according to Luminate. The new album was preceded by the top 20-charting Alternative Airplay hit “Lost In Space.”

Also new in the top 10 on Top Album Sales: Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion drives in at No. 1, Falling in Reverse scores its highest charting album and first top 10 with Popular Monster arriving at No. 2, KATSEYE’s debut project SIS (Soft Is Strong) bows at No. 6 and virtual YouTuber Mori Calliope visits the top 10 for the first time with Phantomime debuting at No. 9.

Trending on Billboard

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

Of the 7,000 copies sold by Paradise State of Mind in its first week, physical album sales comprise 6,000 (about 3,000 each for CD and vinyl) and download album sales comprise 1,000. The set was supported by its availability across six vinyl editions.

Post Malone’s first country album F-1 Trillion starts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 80,000 sold in its first week – the second-largest sales week for a country album in 2023. (Only Beyoncé’s own debut country set, Cowboy Carter, roped a bigger week, when it arrived with 168,000 earlier this year.)

F-1 Trillion’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across four vinyl editions (a standard black vinyl and three color variants; which combined to sell 25,000 – Post Malone’s best week on vinyl), a cassette and a CD, in addition to explicit and clean digital download albums for the standard 18-song version and the 27-song “Long Bed” version.

Rock band Falling In Reverse debuts at No. 2 with Popular Monster, scoring the rock act its highest-charting effort and first top 10. The album sold nearly 18,000 copies in its first week – the act’s best sales week since 2015’s Just Like You debuted with 24,000 sold. The new set’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across eight vinyl variants, a signed CD, and a deluxe CD boxed set containing a branded T-shirt.

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a non-mover at No. 3 with 15,000 sold (up 5%), Stray Kids’ chart-topping ATE falls 2-4 with 14,000 (down 25%) and ENHYPEN’s former leader Romance: Untold dips 4-5 with 10,000 (down 3%).

SIS (Soft Is Strong), the debut project from girl group KATSEYE, arrives at No. 6 with 8,000 sold. The act was formed on the 2023 YouTube series The Debut: Dream Academy. SIS’ first-week sales were bolstered by eight collectible CD variants and two vinyl albums.

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft falls 5-7 with nearly 8,000 sold (down 18%).

Mori Calliope, a virtual YouTuber with more than 2 million subscribers on that platform, debuts at No. 9 with Phantomime, selling 6,000 copies. It’s the artist’s first top 10 on the tally, and the set was supported by its availability across five collectible CD variants.

Falling from No. 1 to No. 10 is Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department with nearly 6,000 sold (down 79%).

Warner Music Brazil Announces New Structure to Boost Local Expansion

Warner Music Brazil has introduced a series of measures aimed at boosting its impact across a range of local music genres, the company announced today (Aug. 29). These initiatives demonstrate a strong commitment to widening the company’s presence in the competitive music market.

“As we elevate our regional approach to be closer to our global leadership, expanding our presence in Brazil, the world’s ninth largest music market, is crucial to the company’s growth,” Alejandro Duque, president of Warner Music Latin America, said in a press release. “We’ve always had a strong presence in the country, but we know we need to do more to support its diverse musical genres.”

In an effort to support that vision, Leila Oliveira, president of Warner Music Brazil, has strengthened her leadership team by appointing Tatiana Cantinho as general manager and Mariana Frensel as director of marketing. Both appointees have commenced their roles and will be based at the company’s headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.

“Warner Music Brazil is reinventing the role of the record company in our rapidly changing industry. We need to be more nimble than ever when it comes to connecting artists with fans and building a wave of support for our talent that can be turned into a sustainable career,” Cantinho said. “Music can travel further and faster than ever before and we want to help artists from different backgrounds take their place centre stage.”   

Cantinho brings over two decades of industry experience to her role. Her career includes regional positions at Sony Music and leadership at the independent label Som Livre (since purchased by Sony), before she founded her own music company, Stamina Musical, in 2022.

Meanwhile, Frensel returns to Warner Music Brazil, where she previously served as international label manager from 2011 to 2015. Her latest role comes after an eight-year tenure at Match Group, where she most recently held the position of director of revenue and growth for new verticals.

“I’m super pleased to be returning to Warner Music at this key moment in its development,” Frensel said. “Leila has a vision for how a modern music company should evolve and the importance of artist narratives is at the heart of it. I want to bring my experience to bear as our new genre-focused teams get to work supporting Brazil’s most vibrant talent.” 

“This is a key moment for Warner Music Brazil,” Oliveira said. “The arrival of Tatiana and Mariana strengthens my leadership team and together we’ll rewrite the rules about how the industry operates here. Our new genre-specific teams mean that we’ll be able to superserve artists better than ever and help all types of Brazilian talent connect with fans here and around the world.”

At the same time, Warner Music Brazil is restructuring its A&R and marketing departments to better focus on key Brazilian genres such as sertanejo, forró, samba, funk and urbano music. Marcos Kilzer will continue to lead the A&R team as its director, collaborating closely with Cantinho.

Additionally, the newly-formed Creative Services team, led by Thiago Abreu who reports directly to Oliveira, will support both marketing and A&R departments while being heavily involved with brand partnerships and live music projects.

These adjustments are among several significant initiatives undertaken by Oliveira since she became the first female label head in Brazil in 2022. Just last month, following the establishment of the new Warner Music Space headquarters in Rio’s Barra da Tijuca, Oliveira facilitated an investment with ADA Brazil in Sua Música group, blending efforts to nurture regional talent.

According to the latest IFPI figures, Brazil ranks as the ninth-largest recorded music market globally, valued at $573.6 million and growing at 13.39% last year, with “87.1% of industry revenues coming from streaming channels,” according to a press release.

Warner Music Brazil is home to artists like IZA, Pedro Sampaio, Ferrugem, MC Hariel, MC Ryan SP, Kayblack, MC IG, MC Don Juan, Azzy, Marvvila, Thiago Freitas, US Agroboy, João Bosco & Vinícius and Clayton & Romario.

Chappell Roan Shares Her Favorite Songs Off Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short n’ Sweet’

Chappell Roan is just as much of a Sabrina Carpenter fan as everyone else!

On a recent livestream, the “Red Wine Supernova” singer shared her favorite songs off of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet album, including “Taste” and “Juno.”

”I love her,” Roan said of Carpenter. “I just love her whole — her whole project is just so thought out and so genuine. I just really love it. She does an awesome job.”

Carpenter previously showed love for Roan by covering her hit, “Good Luck, Babe!,” for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge in June. She also spoke about her friendship with Island Records labelmate with Rolling Stone, saying that Roan’s songs are on a “loopty loop” and that the two are friends off stage. “I’ve been just as obsessed with her as everyone has,” she said. “It’s so weird when you’re hanging out as two young women as opposed to thinking about when she goes onstage and is that person and when I go on stage.”

Both pop singers have had an exciting year. Carpenter earned a pair of chart-toppers on the Billboard Global 200 earlier in the summer, as “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” hit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Both songs appear on her freshly released sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, the two tracks occupy Nos. 2 and 3, with Roan’s “Good Luck Babe” rising to No. 21, followed by “Red Wine Supernova” and “Hot to Go!” at Nos. 67 & 68, respectively. Roan’s debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess also earned its highest-charting week on the Billboard 200, climbing into the chart’s top 10 nine months after its original release.

French Montana ft. Jeremih “Goals,” Cordae ft. Anderson .Paak “Summer Drop” & More | Daily Visuals 8.29.24

HipHopWired Featured Video

If we’ve learned one thing about French Montana over the years it’s that the man loves himself some extra thick women by his side and if she’s thick enough to take up most of the space in one of his two-seaters, best believe she’s getting an invite to one of his private soirees.

Such is the case in his new Jeremih assisted visuals to “Goals,” which finds French Montana and Jeremih at a private beach front property where they’re joined by some women so thick that they make thongs disappear as they kick back shots of Don Julio while enjoying some fun in the sun along with some water sports. French sure knows how to find them.

Cordae meanwhile looks to enjoy the final days of the August and in his clip for “Summer Drop,” he and Anderson .Paak use some retro-ish cinematography to capture the laid back ways they’re spending the dog days of summer.

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from DJ Muggs and Raz Fresco, Clarity, and more.

Robert Glasper Shares His Vision Of The Black Radio Experience, Bringing The Vibes To Napa Valley & More

HipHopWired Featured Video

Robert Glasper Blue Note Jazz Festival 2023

For all of his musical accomplishments, Robert Glasper stands as one of the most versatile yet accessible musicians of his generation. In a recent chat, the Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer shared with Hip-Hop Wired his vision of The Black Radio Experience and bringing the soulful vibes to Napa Valley for Labor Day Weekend.

Robert Glasper has over a dozen releases that span the audio expanses of Jazz, Soul, R&B, Funk, and Hip-Hop. By way of the world-famous Blue Note record label, Glasper released Black Radio in 2012 and it was true to his interpretation of what a Black radio station under his watchful direction. The initial concept led to a Black Radio trilogy that concluded in 2022, and he’s still reinventing himself as an artist by way of his latest project, Let Go.

Anyone who has ever attended a Robert Glasper show learns swiftly that he is, without doubt, a masterful yet playful showman whose dexterity as a pianist allows him to open his musical sandbox to a wide tapestry of sounds. In our talk with Glasper, we asked him what The Black Radio Experience means to him and how he intends to bring those ideas to life in the Wine Country of Northern California.

“The Black Radio Experience, just like you hear on my albums, it’s just that vibe and you can see the festival will feature artists that have appeared on the Black Radio albums like Common, Jill Scott, Ledisi, Terrace Martin, Derrick Hodge,” Glasper explains.

“It’s not about having the hottest song out or anything but a collection of artists that make songs that bring those good feelings out. These are artists who promote real music, love, honesty, and all of that from a Black and soulful perspective. That’s what The Black Radio Experience is and always will be,” Glasper added.

Glasper shared that while the theme of the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa has maintained that creed for the past three years, this year’s festival widens the scope with a focus on Black wine brands, chefs bringing curated menu concepts to light, and making the festival a safe space for celebration of the wide scope of Black creativity that includes the arts and dance as well.

“The festival is just an extension of the love I have for the music and the people and what I set out to do on the first Black Radio album, which is to say this is what Black radio stations could be,” Glasper said.

“When I made that first album, I was already immersed in different styles of music and playing it but committing it to wax was the next step, and over the years with the festival, we’ve been able to bring my vision of Black Radio to the stages and show that there is so much to us as a creative people,” Glasper shared.

Among the headliners for The Blue Note Jazz Festival Presents: The Black Radio Experience, which includes the aforementioned acts from the albums, is André 3000. Three Stacks has famously moved on from the rapping portion of his career and leaning into instrumental music by way of his latest album, New Blue Sun. Glasper says that he found the Atlanta artist’s choice to try something new inspirational and that was his thought in creating his latest body of work, Let Go.

“I had so many people tell me that they listened to New Blue Sun and mediated to it or cleaned their house to it, hell, even I did the same,” Glasper said. “I had people tell me that they would do the same to some of my music and that was the reason why I partnered with Apple Music to drop Let Go. I wanted to give listeners something to reset their day to and even to inspire myself to take it slow.”

Robert Glasper will be in Napa, Calif. this Labor Day Weekend for The Blue Note Jazz Festival Presents: The Black Radio Experience.

Johnson, a longtime fan of Wrangler, personally chose the fabrics, patterns and details featured in the collection which are designed to be worn anywhere from the farmhouse to the stage and beyond.

“I put a lot of time into this collection. This is a shirt I designed specifically for you,” the Grammy winner shared in a statement on the Wrangler website.

Johnson is the latest country singer to partner with Wrangler joining fellow country stars Lainey Wilson and George Strait. Speaking of Wilson, Johnson teased a possible collaboration with the “Heart Like a Truck” singer during a recent interview.

“I’m going duck hunting with her boyfriend Duck [Devlin “Duck” Hodges]. I guess that’s how he got his name, because he’s really into hunting,” he explained. “I heard Loretta Lynn’s ‘Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.’ I called Lainey and said we should record that song together, and she agreed.  But we haven’t done it yet.”

As for his solo music, the country crooner is currently embarking on The Leather Tour in support of his 2023 album of the same name. The tour stops in South Dakota on Sept 6, Oklahoma on Sept. 13, Montana on Sept. 14 and Louisiana on Sept. 14. Get tickets here.
