The Very Best of Bob Dylan (
Columbia) rockets 98-30. It peaked at #13 upon its original 2013 release.
On Singles, "Messy" ascends to the top in its 11th week thanks to ongoing
TikTok popularity and streaming consumption of the seven month-old track.
“This wasn’t expected, but it’s definitely a song I really believed in," says Young, who just made her proper U.S. late night TV debut on
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "It’s a song that I wrote on my own, and it feels really special."
ROSÉ and
Bruno Mars' "APT." (
Atlantic) holds at #2, while Abrams' "That's So True" slides to #3 and
Central Cee's "GBP" featuring
21 Savage (Columbia) enjoys the highest new entry at #6.
