The album has achieved the highest audio-on-demand streams and digital song download totals for the week; meantime, his single, “In My Feelings,” remains at No. 1 on both the Streaming and Digital Songs charts.

Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys and XXXtentacion’s ? hold at 2 and 3 respectively.

The soundtrack to the movie “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” bullets  66-4 with a 262% consumption increase.

The album is this week’s top-selling title, supplanting Drake’s Scorpion. It is the highest charting soundtrack album since “Black Panther” debuted at No. 1 in February. The soundtrack to the first “Mamma Mia” film, which reached No. 1 in 2008, rockets 182-29 with a 181% consumption increase. Abba’s Gold best-of compilation vaults 76-15 with a 107% consumption gain.
