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 (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
Missionary debuts with 38,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 19, according to Luminate. Of that sum, album sales comprise 20,500, SEA units comprise 16,500 and TEA units comprise the remaining sum.
On Top Album Sales, Missionary is Snoop’s 13th top 10-charting effort and highest charting effort set Ego Trippin debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the March, 29, 2008-dated list.
As for the rest of the top 10 on Top Album Sales, Stray Kids’ HOP opens at No. 1 with 180,000 sold (it’s the sixth leader for the group); Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Tortured Poets Department falls 1-2 with 50,000 (down 75%); the Wicked film soundtrack rises 6-3 with 29,000 (down 5%); Chappell Roan’s former leader The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess jumps 8-4 with 28,000 (up 34%); and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet goes 7-5 with 26,000 (down 8%).
Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft scales 9-6 with 23,000 (up 26%); TWICE’s STRATEGY falls 2-8 with 19,000 in its second week (down 76%); Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas TV soundtrack bumps 10-9 with 16,000 (up 20%); and Taylor Swift’s former No. 1, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) climbs 12-10 with 14,000 (up 29%).

“Whatchu Kno About Me” advances to the Rhythmic Airplay summit after a 10% boost in plays that made it the most-played song on the U.S. monitored rhythmic radio panel in the tracking week ending Dec. 19, according to Luminate. The collaboration unseats Future’s “Too Fast,” which slides to No. 2 after one week in charge.
Trending on Billboard
The new champ also borrows from a previous Rhythmic Airplay hit. It samples Lil Boosie’s “Wipe Me Down,” featuring Foxx and Webbie, which reached No. 23 in 2007 and spent 16 weeks on the list.
As mentioned, GloRilla achieves her first No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay. Before the coronation, her previous two singles both put her in touching distance of the top spot. A collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, “Wanna Be,” peaked at No. 3 in August, while the Memphis rapper’s solo single “TGIF” peaked in the runner-up spot last month.
For Sexyy Red, “Whatchu Kno About Me” secures the rapper a second Rhythmic Airplay No. 1, after she and SZA featured on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy,” a two-week leader in December 2023. The reigning champ is the rapper’s first time in charge through a lead or co-lead billing; her prior best in that category was with her “Get It Sexyyy” single, which peaked at No. 8 in July.

Adding to the triumphs, “Whatchu Kno About Me” rules Rap Airplay following an identical 3-1 climb. It jumps into the top slot after a 10% surge in audience in the tracking week, and likewise replaces Future’s “Too Fast,” which backtracks to No. 2 (down 11% in audience). There, GloRilla nabs her third No. 1, after “Tomorrow 2,” with Cardi B ruled for six weeks in 2022-23 and “TGIF” reigned for eight weeks earlier this year. Sexyy Red, meanwhile, picks up her second Rap Airplay No. 1, after a four-week run for “Rich Baby Daddy” in December 2023.
In addition to their current radio hit, GloRilla and Sexyy Red are together on another budding hit. The pair, alongside Lil Wayne, features on Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky,” which pushes 10-8 on Rhythmic Airplay (up 17% in plays) and holds at its No. 11 high on Rap Airplay (up 11% in audience).
Beyoncé is getting in on the Netflix buffering joke ahead of her highly anticipated NFL Halftime Show performance.
On Tuesday (Dec. 24), the 43-year-old superstar shared a new 30-second teaser for her upcoming performance, which will air during the Christmas Day NFL doubleheader on Netflix.
In the clip, Beyoncé — dressed in a long shawl, a sparkly top, a large hat and black sunglasses — sits on a football field strumming a banjo as her hit song “Texas Hold ‘Em” plays. After a few moments, she stops playing, pulls down her sunglasses, and the camera zooms in on her face as a buffering wheel spins on screen — a playful nod to the glitches experienced during Netflix’s mid-November Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match. Beyoncé giggles as the video resumes and ends with her giving the camera a wink.

Alongside the teaser, Beyoncé wrote on Instagram: “I’m sending you big joy and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve. I’ll see y’all tomorrow, in my city HTX.”
Netflix also shared the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “LOADING…BEYONCÉ. NFL Halftime Show – Ravens vs. Texans. Kickoff at 4:30 PM ET. Tomorrow on Netflix. #NFLonNetflix.”
Trending on Billboard
The teaser comes just one day before Beyoncé’s hometown performance at Houston’s NRG Stadium, where she’ll take the stage for the highly anticipated halftime show between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.
This will be Beyoncé’s first live performance since the release of Cowboy Carter, her Billboard 200-topping album. The NFL first announced her halftime appearance in mid-November, sharing a teaser of her standing atop a rose-covered vintage car, effortlessly catching a football, and the opening track “American Requiem” from Cowboy Carter playing in the background — a likely hint at her setlist.
The Christmas Day doubleheader opens with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Texans vs. Ravens game at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both games — and Beyoncé’s halftime performance — will stream live on Netflix, with additional access via NFL+ for regional broadcasts and mobile viewers.
Beyoncé’s return to the NFL halftime stage marks her first appearance since her iconic 2013 Super Bowl performance, where she reunited with Destiny’s Child. In 2016, she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars for another unforgettable performance.

Hillary Scott and her daughter Eisele Kaye, who released the holiday single “Hard to Wait for Christmas” on Nov. 15 and debuted it live at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry in December, commemorated the special occasion with a sweet mother-daughter interview led by 11-year-old Eisele on behalf of Billboard Family, for our new Kids Interviewing Their Famous Parents video series. On the eve of Christmas Eve, enjoy their Q&A, filmed backstage at the Opry and premiering in the video above.
Dad Chris Tyrrell, who co-wrote the charming Christmas tune with his wife and daughter, even joins in for an exclusive mini family performance.
It’s “Hard to Wait for Christmas,” even when it’s just two days away. Just ask the mother-daughter duo, who have a whole song about practicing patience and keeping in mind what Christmas means to their family — underneath the dazzle of holiday season gifts and treats.
Eisele leads the convo with Hillary, delving into her mother’s personal Christmas memories from childhood and those that the two have made together with their family of five. (Hillary Scott and Chris Tyrrell have three children, Eisele, Betsy and Emory.)
One fun highlight from their chat is Hillary recalling the best Christmas present she received as a kid, and how magical it felt to be so surprised.
“I was not expecting Santa to bring that,” she says of a big, bewildering Barbie gift that arrived from the North Pole. “Because how in the world could it fit in the sleigh? Somehow it did.”
Hillary, who used to go Christmas caroling around the neighborhood with her family when she was younger, remembers that the first time she got to sing in a studio was for a Christmas record when she was 15. Eisele upheld her mom’s tradition with her first studio experience being vocals on a Christmas song, “Hard to Wait for Christmas” (now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Music and YouTube Music).
“I feel like circling back to doing Christmas music now, with you, just feels right,” Hillary tells her daughter in the interview.
“I got to experience it with you for the first time, so it felt new again, which is really exciting — and I got to just stand by and be a proud mom watching you be so comfortable and sing so beautifully in that environment … I mean, I’m proud of [Lady bandmates] Charles [Kelley] and Dave [Haywood], but like, I’m really proud of you, ’cause you’re my girl,” Hillary shares with Eisele.

Iranian Dutch singer-songwriter Sevdaliza earns her first top 10 on a Billboard Latin radio chart thanks to “No Me Cansaré,” her maiden collab with Karol G, which rallies 17-9 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart (dated Dec. 28).
The bilingual song jumps to the top 10 on Latin Pop Airplay after a 1.7 million gain in audience impressions earned during the Dec. 13-19 tracking week, according to Luminate; that’s a 52% increase compared to the previous frame. The song was released Oct. 18 on Bichota/Interscope/Broke/Create Music Group.
With “No Me Cansaré,” Sevdaliza grabs her first top 10 on any Latin radio ranking, after the song opened at No. 22 less than a month ago, on the Nov. 30-dated list. The new win, however, becomes her second top 10 on a Latin chart overall, as the collab debuted and peaked at No. 5 on Latin Digital Song Sales (Nov. 2-dated survey).
Trending on Billboard
Prior to her radio and sales charts visits, the singer enjoyed some popularity on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart (which combines radio airplay, streaming activity and digital downloads into its formula) where “Ride Or Die, Pt. 2,” her three-way team-up with Villano Antillano and Tokischa, peaked at No. 43 in May. There, “No Me Cansaré” reached No. 35 high in early November, for her highest rank among two total entries.
Back to Latin Pop Airplay, the song marks Karol G’s 15th top 10 career hit. The hitmaker placed one other song in the top 10 there in 2024, the No. 2-peaking “Contigo,” with Tiesto (June 1-dated list). Prior, “TQG,” with Shakira, took both Colombians to No. 1 in April 2023, where the song held strong atop for the 14 weeks, the most that year.

It’s been an eventful year for music in Canada. Billboard Canada has published year-end versions of multiple charts: the Canadian Hot 100, Canadian Albums, Top Artists (which combines data from both), Canadian Airplay, Canadian Streaming and Canadian Digital Song Sales. Each one tells a story about the Canadian music landscape in 2024.
It’s no big surprise to see who tops the year-end Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” broke the record for longest-leading No. 1 hit this year, surpassing Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” for 20 weeks at the top and then extending the record to 25 weeks at No. 1. He set a similar record on the U.S. Hot 100, but did it in Canada first and for longer (on the U.S. Year-End Hot 100, “Tipsy” finishes second behind “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims.)
The biggest music story of the year was Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar. If one song can be declared the winner based solely on the charts, it’s “Not Like Us.” Even in Canada, Drake’s home turf, Kendrick’s irresistible diss track charted the highest. The song sits at No. 11 on the year-end Canadian Hot 100 and No. 11 on the year-end Streaming Songs chart. That chart success comes with some controversy, however, with Drake launching legal actions to accuse Universal Music Group, iHeartRadio and Spotify of conspiring to inflate the numbers. But the song was a bona fide hit.
Drake’s biggest hits, meanwhile, have little to do with his Kendrick beef. “IDGAF” with Yeat at No. 54, “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA & Sexyy Red at No. 67, and “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole at No. 75 are all from his 2023 album For All The Dogs. And on the 2024 Artists chart for Canada? Drake is at No. 4 and Kendrick is at No. 17.
It’s never a surprise to see Taylor Swift ruling the year-end charts, but her unprecedented Eras Tour — undoubtedly the highest-grossing of all time — has given her an extra boost this year as she finished it off in Toronto and Vancouver in November and December. All of Taylor’s eras (or albums, if you’re old-fashioned) got a boost, which made her a lock for No. 1 on the Artists chart, which combines data from the Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums chart. On the latter chart, Swift holds four of the top 10 spots: The Tortured Poets Department at No. 1, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) at No. 4 and Lover and Midnights at Nos. 9 and 10.
