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.
