Even with the weekend not over yet, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V seems well placed to appear at the top of the Billboard 200's chart of albums in its opening.
With two days of Spotify data available, the rapper occupies the top 16 positions in the national charts of the service, demonstrating his 48 consecutive hours of domination. On iTunes, TCV takes first place on the main digital download site, while his songs currently occupy almost all of the top 20 US music slots on his Apple Music streaming brother.
Even with five days left in the qualifying period of the Billboard 200, it's almost a forgotten conclusion that Wayne wins the week. The competition for second place, however, seems less certain.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, Kanye West's new album Yandhi He did not fall in time, thus hampering his chances and the belief of the Chicago-born rapper that he would be on the Billboard 200 just behind his hip-hop colleague. His previous projects of 2018, you and the collaboration Kid Cudi Children see ghosts, respectively launched in the first and second place in the first weeks, and even with limited information on its content, the new album could also be presented. Elsewhere in the hip-hop category, the West Jam label, Def Jam, Logic, could very well fly YandhiThis week's thunder with its flavored bap boom Young Sinatra IV commercial mixtape. In addition, Kevin Gates may shock us all as his Luca Brasi 3 currently ranks at # 2 right behind TCV on Apple Music and third place on iTunes.
Nevertheless, Lil Wayne's biggest Billboard 200 contest this week could come from outside of rap. Last Friday also saw the release of Dancing queen, the latest album of the icon of pop music Cher. Get out of a buzzworthy cameo in this summer's jukebox music movie Mamma Mia! Here we go again, his first album in five years, shares some of the film's DNA with his ten ABBA cover songs. Cher's return to registration comes at a time when the seventy-year-old star has created a fairly large Twitter account and only a few months before a tour in North America.
Although there is not enough evidence to report Dancing queen the silver medal of the Olympic Games of the week in the music standings, there is good evidence of its ability to compete with the rest of the pack in this qualifying frame for the billboard. The album currently occupies the second place behind TCV on iTunes. At Amazon, the leading retailer for new CD purchases, the physical version is currently No. 2 of all genres, just after a Tom Petty four-disc case. (For perspective, Tha Carter V To date, ranks under the Top 20 category CD at Amazon.)
Classical pop and rock artists generally tend to sell more physical products in this streaming era than they do in equivalent album units. Indeed, Cher does not care about Wayne's feat this week. But as map observers know, the value of each of these flows represents a fraction of each album sale – 1 / 1500th to be precise. So during Dancing queen is not about to upset TCVIt could be better equipped than any other new version this week, especially with indefinite delays in Yandhithe fall.
The last album of Cher, the one of 2013 Closer to the truthShe arrived a few years after her residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and made her third-place finish at the Billboard 200, her highest ranking to date.
