The Weeknd remains at the top of the Billboard Top 200 chart for the third week in a row. Future and Travi$ Scott are just short of the top 10 on the list. Jay Rock’s 90059 makes its chart debut and TIP charts with his five-song EP.
The Weeknd Still Reigns
The Canadian singer’s sophomore LP, Beauty Behind the Madness, saw 98,810 units of total activity, a 32 percent drop from last week, but enough to keep it on the top of the chart. Two songs from the album appear in the top 10 of the single sales. The project had more than 39 million streams this week.

Now all four members of Black Hippy have a project to reach the top 20 with ScHoolboy Q reaching #1 with Oxymoron, Ab-Soul peaking at #11 with These Days… and Kendrick Lamar reaching #1 this year with To Pimp a Butterfly.
