Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon holds at No. 1 for the second straight week and fourth week overall, with 9,000 total consumption units and again picking up the highest on-demand stream total in the seven-day survey period.


The remainder of the top five remains the same as last week, with Taylor Swift’s folklore at No. 2, Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die at 3, Harry Styles’ Fine Line at 4 (with the highest digital song download total for the week), and DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby at 5.

The top new entry for the week is Arkells’ Campfire Chords at No. 6, which also has the highest album sales total. This is the Canadian band’s fourth top-ten album, and their first since 2016’s Morning Report peaked at 3, surpassing the No. 12 peak of 2018’s Rally Cry.

Oct. 1 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Matchbox Twenty’s breakthrough album You or Someone Like You. The album, which included such hits as “Real World,” “3AM,” “Push” and “Back 2 Good,” helped propel the Rob Thomas-fronted band to the top of the charts and into one of the biggest post-grunge rock bands of the era.

Now, the group will spend the next several months celebrating its 30th birthday. The festivities started Oct. 12 with a sold-out show at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles followed by an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
