Unique
Chart
Claim
Roddy Ricch draws an
interesting chart statistic
as his Please Excuse Me
for Being Antisocial falls
from No. 1 to No. 4 on
the Billboard 200. With
the descent, the title
has now racked up four
nonconsecutive weeks
at No. 1 — all through
single-week visits to the
top (a debut at No. 1 on
the Dec. 21, 2019-dated
chart, followed by reigns
on Jan. 18, 2020, Feb. 8
and Feb. 22).
In turn, Please is the
first album to make
four single-week visits
to No. 1 since 2011-12,
when Adele’s 21 had
seven one-week visits
among its total of 10
engagements at the top.
Further down the
chart rabbit hole, the
only other set to notch
its first four visits at No. 1
with single-week stanzas
was way back in 1975:
Jefferson Starship’s Red
Octopus. It climbed to
No. 1 on Sept. 6, then
returned on Sept. 27,
Nov. 1 and Nov. 29.
—KEITH CAULFIELDWeather
Rolls In
Huey Lewis & The
News debut on the
Billboard 200 for the
first time in nearly a
decade as Weather
arrives at No. 71. It’s
the highest-charting
nonhits package from
the band since 1994’s
For Chords & Several
Years Ago topped out at
No. 55 (June 4, 1994).
Weather is the band’s
first album since Lewis
announced in 2018 he
has Ménière’s disease.
The disorder has
affected his hearing and
rendered him unable to
perform live. Weather’s
release has drawn
much media coverage,
including features on
CBS’ Sunday Morning
(Jan. 26) and NPR’s
All Things Considered
(Feb. 15).
Weather starts with a
little over 11,000 equiva-
lent album units earned
in the week ending
Feb. 20, according to
Nielsen Music/MRC
Data. Nearly all of that
sum was in album sales
— the act’s best sales
week since the chart
dated July 1, 2006, when
Greatest Hits sold 13,000
in its fourth week on the
list. —K.C.#1 1 WK JUSTIN BIEBER SCHOOLBOY/RAYMOND BRAUN/DEF JAM Changes^1TA ME IMPA L A MODULAR/INTERSCOPE/IGA The Slow Rush (^1)
