The weekend has scored its fifth number 1 album with “Almost Up Tomorrow”, and placing the largest total figures on the Billboard list since Taylor Swift almost a year ago.
The release of “Almost Up Tomorrow”, which announced the Poppy-Mar-Creepy Canadian Star in September during a live stream concert in São Paulo, was delayed by a week until January 31 because of the forest fires in Los Angeles. But then it received a prominent boost when The Weeknd performed a Medley of two songs last week during the Grammy Awards broadcast, which showed that he had destroyed his four-year-old Boycot about the voice process of the show.
“Almost morning,” the sixth studio album of Weeknd had the equivalent of 490,500 turnover in the United States, according to the Luminate tracking service. Although The Weeknd is a streaming heavyweight than 20 of its tracks have at least a billion clicks on Spotify collected the opening week numbers of the album powered by the sale of unity. It sold 183,000 digital downloads, 99,000 CDs and 77,000 copies on Vinyl, the best week of Weeknd in that format. (There were even 1,000 on cassette.) The 22 tracks were streamed 172 million times.
The total number 490,500 of the album – a composite derived from a formula that was used by Luminate and Billboard to reconcile the various music formats – was the biggest weekly take since last April, when Swift's “tortured poets” burst out of the gate with 2, 6 million.
Also this week Bad Bunny's “Debí Tirar Más photos” (“I should have taken more photos”) to second place after three weeks at the top and Sza's “SOS” dropped one place to number 3.
The Grammy's offered a modest boost to some of the big winners and nominees of the night. Kendrick Lamar, who took record and song of the year (“Not Like US”), one place number 4 with “GNX”, although the figures were somewhat up. Billie Eilish, who performed but went home empty -handed, saw her LP “hit me hard and soft” five places to no. 5. And Chappell Roan, who performed and won the best new artist, jumped eight places to number 6 with Number 6 “The rise and fall of a midwest princess.”
