Lizzo’s

‘Love’

Grows

Break out the bubbly: Lizzo

has a reason to party.

The rising star’s Cuz I Love

You surpasses 500,000

equivalent album units

earned as the set tallied

37,000 units in the week

ending Aug. 1, according to

Nielsen Music. Its total now

stands at 516,000.

Further, on-demand audio

streams for the set’s songs

passed the half-billion

mark, with 35.8 million

earned during the tracking

week, bringing their total to

508.4 million.

On the Billboard 200, the

album holds at No. 7 and

claims a seventh straight

week in the top 10 (and a

ninth nonconsecutive frame

in the region). Cuz earned

37,000 units in the week

ending Aug. 1 (up 15%),

with 6,000 in album sales

(up 50%). Both figures are

Cuz’s biggest since its debut

frame on May 4, when it

bowed at No. 6 (its current

peak) with 41,000 units (and

24,000 in album sales).

Assisting Cuz is Lizzo’s

buzzy NPR Tiny Desk

Concert, which premiered

July 29 and garnered wide

media attention.

The album’s hit single

“Truth Hurts” continues to

grow, reaching a new peak

on the Billboard Hot 100 (5-

4). (Notably, the track, which

was released in 2017, wasn’t

included on the album

when it arrived April 19. The

song was added to a deluxe

digital/streaming edition

that came out May 3.)

Elsewhere, Janet Jackson

makes a splash on Vinyl

Albums led by the U.S.

releases of The Velvet Rope

and janet. at Nos. 12 and

15, respectively (both with

1,000 sold). The reissue of

the out-of-print vinyl for

Rhythm Nation 1814 bows at

No. 18 (1,000). —K.C.

The original Broadway

cast recording of the

Tony Award-winning

Hadestown debuts on the

Billboard 200 at No. 49

— the first cast album to

bow on the list in over a

year. The set launches with

12,000 equivalent album

units earned in the week

ending Aug. 1, according to

Nielsen Music, with 9,000

of that sum in album sales.

(Hadestown enters Top

Album Sales at No. 8.) The

last cast album to debut

on the Billboard 200 was

the original Broadway cast

recording of Mean Girls,

which entered at No. 42 on

June 2, 2018.

On the album sales-

based Cast Albums chart,

Hadestown starts at No. 1,

making it the only title

to top the tally in 2019

aside from Hamilton: An

American Musical.

Hadestown won eight

Tonys in June — the most of

any show — including best

musical and best original

score. It opened April 17

and has performances on

sale through July 2020.

Back to Hamilton: Its

cast recording continues

its remarkable run on the

Billboard 200 as it notches

its 201st consecutive week

(dipping 33-43). The set

has now earned 4.2 million

equivalent album units,

with 1.8 million in album

sales. Further, its collected

songs surpassed 3 billion

total on-demand audio

streams, with another

13.5 billion racked up in

the week ending Aug. 1.

Five tracks have cleared

100 million streams:

“Alexander Hamilton”

(140.8 million), “My Shot”

(116.9 million), “Aaron

Burr, Sir” (112.7 million),

“Satisfied” (103.9 million)

and “The Schuyler Sisters”

(106.4 million).
