Moneybagg Yo scores a #1 bow on this week's
Top 50 chart with
A Gangsta's Pain (
CMG/N-Less/Interscope), which racks up 111k+.
Eric Church's
Soul (
EMI Nashville) debuts in the Top 5 with nearly 54k. The set is the second recent release from Church, after 4/16's
Heart (yes, there's an
& EP that makes it a trilogy, but you need to be in the fan club to get your mitts on it).
XO/Republic's
The Weeknd re-enters the Top 10 with After Hours, coming close to 40k (good for #7).
Let's do the marketshare thing!
UMG owns a mighty 64%,
SME takes 18%, WMG has 17% and the notorious "others" have 1%.

The week's new releases are led by
Big Machine's Thomas
Rhett;
Marilyn McCoo and
Billy Davis, meanwhile, have a new set of
Lennon-McCartney covers out via
BMG.
In political news, the guy who hooked disgraced Floriday congresscritter
Matt Gaetz up with underage companions and paid them for sex via
Venmo apparently offered
Roger Stone $250k for a pardon, which we think is the sleaze trifecta. So, you know, well done.
