BOYNEXTDOOR achieves its third consecutive top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, as the act’s latest release, 19.99, arrives at No. 4. The set sold 16,500 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 19, according to Luminate. With the debut, the act nets its highest charting album and best sales week.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo rallies 25-1 after its vinyl editions were shipped to customers, Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) re-enters at No. 2 after its deluxe reissue and CD release, Miranda Lambert’s Postcards From Texas opens at No. 3, keshi’s Requiem arrives at No. 7, Jack White’s No Name re-enters at No. 8 after its wide physical release, and the Hazbin Hotel, Season One soundtrack debuts at No. 10 after its vinyl release.

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. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of the 16,500 copies sold of 19.99 in its first week, physical album sales comprise nearly all of that sum – and all on CD. Its sales were bolstered by the album’s availability across more than 15 collectible CD editions, all containing collectible branded paper ephemera.

Travis Scott’s 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo rallies 25-1 in its fourth week on the list, for its second week on top. (It debuted atop the list.) The album sold 150,000 copies in the tracking week (up 4,608%) after its vinyl editions – exclusively sold through Scott’s webstore – shipped to customers. Vinyl sales comprise 149,000 of that sales figure – Scott’s largest week on vinyl ever. It’s also the biggest week on vinyl for a rap album, as well as the sixth-largest week on vinyl across all genres, since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

The vinyl sales pushing Scott to No. 1 began generating pre-orders via his official webstore before the album was released on Aug. 23 via streamers, as a digital download and on CD. It was available in two vinyl variants (a standard edition and a deluxe edition in expanded packaging), as well as two boxed sets (one containing a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl), and in two Fan Pack offers (one with a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl).

A wide retail release beyond Scott’s webstore for any physical formats of the album has not been announced.

Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) re-enters the chart at No. 2 (matching its debut and peak), following its deluxe reissue and CD release. The album was reissued via digital download services on Sept. 13 with bonus tracks, while on the same day its original standard album was issued in two CD variants. It sold 24,000 (up 3,328%) across all of its configurations (all versions are combined for tracking and charting purposes).

Miranda Lambert logs her ninth top 10, all tallied consecutively, as her new studio album Postcards From Texas, taps in at No. 3 with 19,000 sold. Its first week sales were aided by the set’s availability across four vinyl variants (including a signed edition), three CD editions (including a signed version) and a download album.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet is steady at No. 5 on Top Album Sales (14,500; down 6%) while Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess rises 7-6 (13,000; up 25%).

Requiem, from keshi, debuts at No. 7 with nearly 10,500 sold, marking the second top 10-charting effort for the artist. The album’s sales were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants (including a signed edition) and a signed CD edition.

Jack White’s No Name returns to the top 10, re-entering the chart at No. 8 (matching its debut and peak position), following its wide vinyl release on Sept. 13. The album sold a little more than 10,000 copies in the tracking week ending Sept. 19 – its best sales week yet – earning a 695% gain over the previous week.

Stray Kids’ chart-topping ATE is a non-mover at No. 9 on Top Album Sales, with nearly 9,000 sold (up 8%).

Rounding out the top 10 is the debut of the Hazbin Hotel, Season One soundtrack, entering at No. 10 with 8,500 sold. Nearly all of that sum is from vinyl sales, as the album made its vinyl debut on Sept. 13 after only being available to purchase as a digital download.

Shania Twain is loving Sabrina Carpenter!

The country superstar took to her Instagram Stories to repost a video in which Carpenter is seen covering her 1997 hit, “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” during her Short n’ Sweet tour stop in Toronto, Canada, on Wednesday night (Sept. 25). The cover was performed at the part of the show in which Carpenter delivers a random cover decided by a wheel of fortune. The performance was even more fitting, as Twain is an Ontario native.

On the red carpet for the People’s Choice Country Awards, which Twain hosted, the singer told E! that she loved Carpenter’s tribute. “It’s just a huge compliment. I mean she’s such a talented person! She’s smart, so it’s a compliment,” she gushed of Carpenter.

Twain isn’t just hosting the PCAAs. She’s also a nominee, as Shania Twain: Come On Over—The Las Vegas Residency- All The Hits! snagged a nomination in the concert tour of 2024 category. Her residency is currently slated to run through early 2025.

“It’s a really full-circle experience for me,” Twain told Billboard of hosting the event. “It takes me back to my own beginnings in Nashville and as a new recording artist there, and obviously the historic location is always appealing. I meet new artists, and I’m running into old friends, making new friends.”

Bryan leads this year’s nominees with 19 nominations, followed by Beyoncé with 17 nominations.

Pepe Aguilar has never shied away from expressing what is really going through his mind. And his latest song, titled “Cuídamela Bien” — which translates to “take good care of her” — is no exception. Singing directly to Christian Nodal, who in July married his daughter Ángela Aguilar, the Mexican star is clear on his requests for him.

“Well you’re no idiot, you took from the old man the best woman,” he croons over wailing trumpets and nostalgic guitar notes. “Love her, cabrón. Show the world that you’re on the right track, and you’ve got a heart. Make her as happy as I’ve always wanted to in life.”

Aguilar’s song is a play on words that makes the most sense in Spanish. In one verse, he sings, “Y NO DA La cara el bandido,” or, “And that bandit won’t show his face” — which could also refer to Nodal’s face tattoos. In another part of the song, he uses song titles, including Ángela’s “Ahí Donde Me Ven” and Nodal’s “Botella Tras Botella,” to wittingly express how he’s feeling.

Toward the end of the song, in a total state of emotional vulnerability, Aguilar reaffirms he’s given the couple his blessing, something he first announced publicly just a day after the wedding ceremony, which took place just weeks after the couple confirmed their relationship.

“In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility totally indispensable,” he wrote then. “With love, you face the most complicated challenges inside and outside your environment. … I have also been in your shoes. And after 27 years with my wife I say to you: There is no simple principle.”

Below, the lyrics to Pepe Aguilar’s “Cuídamela Bien” translated to English:

It’s not news that she’s with you
Well the world knows it and everyone is a witness
So fast time passed and my ANGEL someone else snatched her away
And the bandit won’t show his face

I’m going to be very clear, do things right
Because for outlaws, mijo (son), this is not the place to be
And I know it’s easy to be cabrón
I’ve been in that situation myself
But the one who stays is more of a man

And I’m sorry if I’m being a little rude
It’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)

Take good care of her
You’ve already made her fall in love
You already took her away
What am I gonna do?

She was never mine
And I knew
That I was going to lose her

And lucky for you
Now she’s with you
I wish you well

Take good care of her
Maybe she’s not perfect
But I assure you
She knows how to love

Roses were enough for you
So that my prideful daughter
Would fall at your feet

And face-to-face
I give you a piece of advice
If you love her well

Don’t change her because you’re very good at it

When you brought her roses, I played the strong one
And in the serenades I couldn’t kick you out
The eagle has already taken off
And the one who doesn’t show his face now has shown it
I admit that you’re easy to love

And I’m sorry if I’m a little rude
It’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)

Take good care of her
“Ahí Donde Me Ven” (There where they see me)
“Botella Tras Botella” (Bottle after bottle)
“No Me 100to Bien” (I don’t feel good)

Well you’re no idiot
You took from the old man
The best woman

And lucky for you
Now she’s with you
I wish you well

Love her, cabrón
Show the world
That you’re on the right track
And you’ve got a heart

Make her as happy as
I’ve always wanted to in life

And in the eye of the cyclone
For my part I give you my blessing
And I will always wish your relationship well

In this episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Tetris Kelly, Trevor Anderson, Kyle Denis and Damien Scott go into Janet Jackson’s “not black” claim towards Kamala Harris, and the aftermath after her comment. The team also broke down Future’s third album ‘Mixtape Pluto’, Chlöe Bailey’s career and more!

Damien Scott:

In his new video that he dropped yesterday he’s rapping in front of cars wrapped with like Narcan and some models on it, but everybody’s fine with it because he never changed. He’s very honest about it. 

Kyle Denis:

If you heard something or if you cannot verify what you said at your age with your status with what you know about this industry and interviewing and all of this stuff, no comment.

Tetris Kelly:

We’ve needed this. We’ve needed a popstar, we needed somebody that can sing and dance and this and that. She’s there, Chlöe Bailey is there. 

Trevor Anderson:

What’s up everybody? Welcome back to a fresh new episode of Billboard Unfiltered. All right first thing is first, we got a new face in the house. Want to give a shoutout to our man, Tetris, host of Billboard News, so if you watch any Billboard program you’ve probably, honestly, seen him more than any of us, so… Welcome to the residence celebrity in from LA. How are you feeling? 

Tetris Kelly:

I feel great. I could never be a deputy in the way that Carl is, you know, I have a big chair to fill in, but you know I’ll do the best I can. 

Trevor Anderson: 

I guess our first topic is going to be about somebody who is obviously is Drake adjacent. He’s been a little quiet about the particular beef.

The planets have aligned and it’s Pluto season once again. The third time’s a charm for Future as he returned with his guest-less Mixtape Pluto album last week, which leads the discussion surrounding the new episode of Billboard Unfiltered.

Future is angling for his third No. 1 album of 2024 and his eighth consecutive leader on the Billboard 200. For staff writer Kyle Denis, there’s never enough Future in his life. “Never too much Future for me, to be honest,” he said. “‘Told My’ is my favorite song. ‘I told my b—h if I gotta be faithful, I might fall off.’ That’s a bar.”

Denis continued: “That’s gonna be something I live by for the next eight months or so until the next tape drops maybe. I had a great time with the Future record. I just feel like he never lets me down in terms of giving me a collection of solid tracks that I like to bump for the next couple of months.”

Deputy Director, Editorial Damien Scott lent his stamp of approval to the project. “I love the album, I think it’s great. I also love the other two albums he dropped. There’s only so many hours I could devote to Future. I can’t play him around my kids,” Scott admitted. “It’s not like too much Future, but you could’ve held off on this while we’re still enjoying this other album that still has legs.”

He added: “He’s great at making the story. He’s great at furthering the narrative. Everything we’ve learned about Future is through The Shade Room, which is hilarious because we don’t learn much from his music about him, but he’s able to continue this narrative that we all buy into album after album.”

Over the weekend, Janet Jackson made headlines when she told The Guardian that presidential candidate Kamala Harris is “not black” and she “heard that she’s Indian.” She faced plenty of backlash on social media over the false claims.

Guest anchor and senior producer Tetris Kelly chalked this up to being a classic case of misinformation being spread. “No matter how famous you are, she’s still an auntie,” he said. “That’s the way I look at it. That’s your Black auntie that be at the cookout that be like, ‘Yeah, I saw on Facebook.’ We talk about misinformation and that’s kind of how it works.”

Kyle Denis took a different approach expecting more from Ms. Jackson. “I’m expecting her to be a knowledgable person because she’s a voting citizen who’s grown.”

The discussion took a turn when breaking down Chloe Bailey’s solo career as the fellas gave her advice on how she could capitalize on her talents and fully blossom into a star.

“I think she would do well with an editor or an executive producer to streamline the visions that she has that feel too much on a single song let alone an entire album,” Denis said. “She probably does have too much freedom. Sometimes you need to hone it in.”

Denis thinks there needs to be a realignment for Chloe’s branding so she could reap the benefits like we saw with Sabrina Carpenter and her Short ‘n Sweet summer of dominance.

“When I think of the name Chloe Bailey, a lot of things come to mind, but they’re not really a uniform brand of what Chloe Bailey is or represents,” he continued. “Half the reason people were so into the Sabrina Carpenter arc this year was how well she branded herself across those singles aesthetically, style-wise all that stuff. There’s a disconnect there on that level with Chloe.”

Damien Scott wants to see her hit the studio with a sonic savant like the Grammy-winning Darkchild to help steer her next era’s direction.

“I think there could be a lot of success had if she were to sit down with somebody we all threw out Darkchild. I think she needs a direction. The way that Darkchild talked about working with Brandy, that’s the type of work she needs,” he said. “What are you really trying to say? Let’s find some sounds that match that. Let’s find some themes that match that.”

Demi Lovato is making sure child influencers are getting the financial protection they deserve.

The “La La Land” singer met with California Governor Gavin Newsom this week as he signed into law two pieces of legislation to ensure children and teenagers who perform in online content are protected from financial abuse. Per Newsom’s website, SB 764 (Padilla) establishes “financial and legal protections for minors featured in monetized online content (i.e., child vloggers) by mandating their parent or guardian set aside a percentage of their earnings in trust accounts.” Meanwhile, AB 1880 (Alanis) “expands the Coogan Law to include minors who are employed as content creators on online platforms, such as YouTube. The Coogan Law is a decades-old statutory scheme that protects child performers and creators by ensuring that their employers place at least 15 percent of their gross earnings in trust till they reach adulthood.”

Lovato shared in a press statement, “In order to build a better future for the next generation of child stars, we need to put protections in place for minors working in the digital space. I’m grateful to Governor Newsom for taking action with this update to the Coogan Law that will ensure children featured on social media are granted agency when they come of age and are properly compensated for the use of their name and likeness.”

Protection for minors in entertainment is a topic that hits close to home for Lovato. Earlier this month, Lovato unveiled her Hulu documentary, Child Star, which works to “deconstruct the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world’s most famous former child stars,” per the corresponding press release.

In the project, they recruited fellow childhood stars including Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, Christina Ricci, Raven-Symoné, JoJo Siwa, Alyson Stoner and more, and they reflect on their careers, including struggles with substance abuse, societal pressure and more.

Damiano David feels sorrow no more. The Måneskin frontman has embarked on his first solo project, releasing the song “Silverlines” — produced by Labrinth — on Thursday (Sept. 26).

“This song is a very special story to me,” the Italian artist tells Billboard of the emotional track that begins as a raw, stripped-back melancholy tune that fills with hope as it crescendos. “Sometimes, you hear a song and you think, ‘Oh my god, this song talks about me.’ … It was so amazing for me to get to work with such a huge artist and also on a song that, it’s basically describing my whole journey.”

According to David, singer-songwriter Sarah Hudson was already working on the tune with Labrinth when she came up with the idea to connect the two men and have the Måneskin rocker hop on the track, for which he helped pen the lyrics. And given the opportunity to collaborate with Labrinth — who has worked with the likes of Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and more — he wasn’t about to say no. “If you have the chance to work with Labrinth, you don’t get precious! You just do it!” David laughs, praising his “extremely meticulous” producer and their “very easy” collaboration process. And he’s more than delighted with how “Silverlines” has turned out.

“It was funny for me how [this] first song was actually, it was, like, all I hoped for,” he marvels of “Silverlines,” which finds him showing a vulnerable side that he had yet to share in his music with Måneskin. “It was like the lyrics are such a message of hope for me because it was exactly what I was aiming for with this record, and now that the record is finished, I look back to that song and it’s like, ‘Wow! That’s basically the last stop of my journey,’ and it’s so funny that it came at the beginning — like [it was] heaven sent.”

“There’s a level of vulnerability that I never reached and a level of honesty that I never managed to reach not because I was not being honest in the other songs,” he adds. “I had to dig deeper into myself in order to even get to this information and then be able to transform it into music.”

David explains that part of the reason he had not yet shared this more personal side of him in Måneskin was because he wanted to respect the band’s strong identity — which he credits as part of its success — and also the “role that was assigned to him,” but it wasn’t showing him as a whole person. “At one point I started to really suffer this very partial point of view of myself that I myself was giving to the world … I knew that I was the one choosing only to express that,” he shares, emphasizing that he takes responsibility for that, and is now, with his solo work, revealing a fuller picture of who Damiano David is. “Literally my brain and my body rebelled to me and forced me to actually kind of cut me open, cut myself open and show myself to the world.”

And that honesty is right there in his favorite lyrics from “Silverlines”: A smile/ I welcome you/ A darkness/ I’ve long forgotten you/ And peace belongs to me. “That’s what happened. This is the part that I share with the audience — it’s the public part of the work I’ve done,” explains David, who moved to Los Angeles in January, where he spent a few months by himself to figure out his priorities. “I of course did a lot of personal work and personal growing, and I cut some things out of my life and I replaced [them] with new, healthier, more beautiful ones. I think now things are better.”

Helping him pull back the curtain is the accompanying music video for “Silverlines,” a theatrical visual directed by Nono + Rodrigo that shows first the struggle, then the endless possibilities that await David. “One of the main topics of the whole thing is like, more than having the world,” he shares. “For me, it’s more like, from now on, it’s a white sheet and I’m able to actually … make my visuals become reality.”

And now that he’s sharing a closer look at himself with his solo music, the vocalist is excited to see what’s on the horizon, though nabbing a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 for “Silverlines” may not be at the top of his list. “I don’t want to be like a hypocrite and say I don’t care about the charts because of course I care! Everybody cares!” he admits. “But at the same time, the goal of this song is not topping the charts. I’m introducing myself to the world, so I don’t expect to be first from the first day. Actually, I don’t expect to be first any time. But I’m just very glad I have the opportunity to do this, and the results will come.”

Check out Damiano David’s debut solo song, “Silverlines,” and its video below:

Kendrick Lamar star has never shined brighter.

Earlier this month, he once again brought the rap world to a halt with the release of an untitled song on his Instagram account just a few days after he announced that he would be headlining Super Bowl 59. For the cover art, he used a picture of a pair of tattered black Nike Air Force 1s. The artwork matches the same aesthetic as the the artwork for “6:16 in LA” and “Meet the Grahams,” but as far as we know, there’s no backstory behind the sneakers in the picture.

However, there is a nice little wrinkle that came up a couple days ago. The picture is from an eBay listing posted by “Good2BYou” that belongs to Billy Lingo and Darla Wilson, a couple from North Little Rock, Arkansas. The Internet had already figured out that the picture came from eBay, but no one knew who was behind the account until now.

Local news station THV11 caught up with the couple to talk about the absurdity of the situation. “What happened was I sold the shoes and I said, ‘Oh great,I sold a pair of shoes,’” Wilson recalled of that fateful September night. “So I got ‘em, boxed ‘em up, printed the label, and all of a sudden, my phone was blowing up.” They sold the sneakers for the asking price of $70, but cancelled the order when they were made aware of Lamar and the song.

“Well, I’m not gonna lie to you,” Lingo explained while wearing a shirt with a picture of the sneakers on it. “I didn’t know a whole lot about him. and I knew who he was — my son told me about him and my daughter told me about him — But, I really know about him now.” Adding, “We had an opportunity put before us, and I’m not a greedy person. I’ve got the ‘Buy It Now’ for $100,000 or ‘Buy It Now’ for $75,000, and I know that’s probably not going to happen, but it could.”

If you want a piece of rap history, the bidding starts at $5,000 with this Sunday (Sept. 29) at 1:00 a.m. or you can cut in front of the line for a mere 75 racks. There are zero bids, so far.

Billboard reached out to Kendrick’s camp for comment.
