Tuesday is new Billboard chart day each week! As all charts update each Tuesday morning, here’s a look at highlights of the latest rankings, dated Aug. 29 and reflecting the Aug. 14-20 measurement week, according to data tracker Luminate.
Among this week’s chart stars are KATSEYE, Phoebe Bridgers, Ella Langley, Taylor Swift and Karol G.
KATSEYE earns its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as WILD debuts with 170,000 equivalent album units in the United States in its first week, ending Aug. 20, according to Luminate.
“EYEKONS, this is so surreal!!,” the group posted in celebration. “Thank you for showing WILD so much love.”
KATSEYE also tops the Billboard Artist 100 for the first time, vaulting from No. 28 and passing its prior No. 6 peak.
Plus, the group debuts at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the EP’s latest single, “Hootie Frutti.” The act adds its sixth top 40 hit on the chart, all earned consecutively and all of which have peaked this year. The song joins “Gabriella” (No. 21), “Internet Girl” (No. 29, both in January), “Pinky Up” (No. 28, April), star team-up “Iconic by Mistake,” with LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT (No. 38, June), and “Animal” (No. 24, earlier in August).
