Post Malone Returns To No. 1 While Gucci Mane Scores Another Top 10 Album

This week has turned out to be particularly quiet on the Billboard 200, as only one newly-released album finds its way into the top 10. It's relatively rare to see so few titles break into the most competitive region on the chart, especially during the fourth quarter, the most important time of the year for new efforts from some of the biggest names in the business.

Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding bounces back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this turn, earning a fourth stay in the penthouse. The hip-hop title is now the album with the most weeks in charge of the list in 2019, besting two others (Billie Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and A Boogie wit da Hoodie's Hoodie SZN) that managed three frames in the peak position. It initially ran the show for the first three frames it was available.

Last week's champion, YoungBoy Never Broke Again's AI YoungBoy 2, only slips one spot in its second turn on the tally. The title became the rapper's first leader a week ago.

R&B powerhouse Summer Walker's Over It holds at No. 3, followed by four former chart-toppers: DaBaby's Kirk (No. 4), Taylor Swift's Lover (No. 5), Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (No. 6) and Young Thug's So Much Fun (No. 7).

Hip-hop newcomer Lil Tjay earns a second week in the highest tier with his debut album True 2 Myself, which descends from No. 5, where it launched last time around, to No. 8.

The sole new entry inside this week's top 10 on the Billboard 200 comes from hip-hop staple Gucci Mane. The prolific musician's new effort Woptober II lands at No. 9 with almost 31,000 equivalent units. Of that sum, just 2,000 are actual sales. Woptopber II is Mane's seventh top 10 on the chart, and so far none of the singles from the project have reached the Hot 100, though they may when that list refreshes in a day or so.

Chris Brown's Indigo closes things out this time around, dipping to tenth place.
