The album also has the highest audio-on-demand streams and digital song download totals for the week. This matches Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack for the most extended stay at the top of the chart so far in 2019.


Logic’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind achieves top debut status of the week, entering at 2. It tops the No. 4 peak of his last album, YSIV, in October 2018.
