Morgan Wallen’s album “I’m The Problem” has now been at No. 1 for seven weeks straight. It moved 173,000 units over the past week, similar to the week previous and marking the strongest seventh-week numbers since Adele’s “25” moved 194,000 units back in January 2016. Adele’s album went on to see 143,000 units in its eighth week. “I’m The Problem” continued to dominate the streaming chart on the back of over 200 million streams. Here’s a more detailed, week-by-week look:

Lorde’s fourth album, “Virgin,” debuted at No. 2. All four of Lorde’s albums have debuted in the Top 5—her 2013 debut “Pure Heroine” was No. 3, 2017’s “Melodrama” was No. 1, and 2021’s “Solar Power” was No. 5. “Virgin” moved 71,000 units over the week. With 42,000 copies sold, it was No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart. Vinyl made up 31,000 of those. The album logged 37 million streams, or 29,000 equivalent units, and was No. 6 on the Top Streaming Albums chart.

After an impressive debut the previous week at No. 8, the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack soared to No. 3. While the first week saw a gradual rise in streams following the release of the animated film on Netflix, consistently high streaming numbers in its second week drove it higher up on the chart. At No. 3, it’s the highest-charting soundtrack of the year. It’s also the highest-charting soundtrack for an animated feature since “Encanto” went to No. 1 in 2022. “KPop Demon Hunters” hit 62,000 units, nearly double the week previous. It was streamed 77 million times for 56,000 equivalent units. That was more than double the previous week, propelling it from No. 10 to No. 2 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. The 77 million streams were the most for a soundtrack since “Barbie” in August 2023, which recorded a slightly higher 79 million figure. The “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack sold 45,000 copies, placing it at No. 22 on the Top Album Sales chart.

KATSEYE’s second EP, “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS,” debuted at No. 4. It’s the group’s first Top 10. Their debut EP, “SIS (Soft Is Strong),” peaked at No. 119. The new album moved 44,000 units, including 30,000 copies sold, landing it at No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart. That’s a significant bump from “SIS (Soft Is Strong),” which debuted on 8,000 units and peaked at No. 6. The new EP logged 21 million streams, contributing 14,000 units. Those are strong numbers for a five-track EP—strong enough to land it at No. 47 on the Top Streaming Albums chart.

The final new face in the Top 10 was “W!LD” by Russ, debuting at No. 10 with 32,000 units. This marks Russ’ fourth Top 10 album. “W!LD” sold 25,000 copies and took No. 3 on the Top Album Sales chart. It was streamed 9.2 million times for 7,000 equivalent units. Other albums in the Top 10 included KAROL G’s “Tropicoqueta” at No. 5 with 40,000 units—down from No. 3—followed by Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing At A Time” at No. 6, SZA’s “SOS” at No. 7, Playboi Carti’s “MUSIC” at No. 8, and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” at No. 9. “MUSIC” in particular made a sizable jump from No. 28 to No. 8 this week, thanks to an additional 16,000 copies, mostly on the new vinyl.

Meanwhile, Barbra Streisand’s duet album, “The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two,” debuted at No. 31. This marked Streisand’s 55th Top 40 album. The singer holds the record for the most Top 40s of any woman. Trailing her are Aretha Franklin and Madonna, each with 26. As for men, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra each have 58. When groups are factored in, the Grateful Dead leads the pack with 64.

Alex Warren’s song “Ordinary” continued its reign at No. 1, marking its fifth week at the top. Streaming increased by 2% from the previous week, crossing the 20 million threshold again with 20.2 million streams and hitting No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. Radio airplay of the single continued to climb and jumped up by 9% over the week, holding onto No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a third week. “Ordinary” spent an eighth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 7,000 downloads over the week.

Morgan Wallen had three songs in the Top 10 for a second week in a row—“What I Want” at No. 2, “Just In Case” at No. 3, and “I’m The Problem” at No. 5. In fact, it’s his fifth time this year. The Beatles hold the all-time record with eight weeks during 1964. Could “What I Want” dethrone “Ordinary”? Wallen’s song was streamed 22.8 million times, a 2% increase week over week that kept it on top of the streaming chart for a sixth week. Its climb on the Radio Songs chart continued, rising from No. 46 to No. 41, but airplay was still only roughly a quarter of “Ordinary.” Digital song sales hit 2,000, moving it from No. 23 to No. 15 on the Digital Song Sales chart, but the song still fell short of the consistently high figures of Warren’s single. As long as “Ordinary” continues to see high popularity across streaming, radio, and sales, it seems unlikely that its dominance will be disrupted anytime soon.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at No. 4, Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther” at No. 6, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” at No. 7, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” at No. 8, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” at No. 9, and Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” at No. 10. Notably, “Die With A Smile” has now spent 45 whole weeks in the Top 10. Gaga had already broken the record for the longest time spent in the Top 10 by a female artist—now she’s surpassed the Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber duet “Stay” for the most weeks for a collaborative song.

“KPop Demon Hunters” has demonstrated remarkable momentum on the Hot 100 as well. “Golden” and “Your Idol,” already on the chart the previous week, jumped roughly 50 spots each to Nos. 23 and 31, respectively. All four songs that debuted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 the previous week broke into the Hot 100, charting between Nos. 42 and 58. Despite what the name suggests, not that many songs on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 actually manage to cross over onto the Hot 100 itself. Finally, “Takedown” debuted on the Hot 100 at No. 64. Here’s a look at how all seven songs off the soundtrack have done on the Hot 100 over the past two weeks:

This past week, sombr landed two songs on the Hot 100—“undressed” at No. 33 and “back to friends” at No. 34. Both tracks entered the chart in April one week apart and have stayed in the Top 40 thanks to steady streaming. On the Streaming Songs chart, they were No. 40 and No. 16, respectively. Another of his new songs, “we never dated,” has been gaining rapid traction, already debuting at No. 15 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Global 200.

As recently as March, sombr was a relative unknown. Now, he’s regarded as one of the rising stars of the first half of 2025 to watch, with an impressive string of singles to his name. His two viral hits owe much of their success to TikTok, after which their popularity spilled over to streaming playlists and even radio, making sombr one of greatest beneficiaries of online platforms of late. But his career to date sets him apart from the kind of fleeting trends and one-hit wonders often associated with TikTok. He’s become a prime example of how to shape a musical sound and identity to resonate with social media culture, amassing a passionate fan base along the way.

In 2022, at just 17, sombr uploaded “caroline” to TikTok, where it picked up a huge amount of steam, leading him to drop out of the prestigious LaGuardia arts high school and sign with Warner Music instead. His father, who played in a band since he was young, introduced a younger sombr to artists like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, and by 14, he was recording his own music in his bedroom using money he saved up himself. TikTok was the catalyst that allowed sombr’s song “caroline” to bridge the gap between himself and the wider world.

His preferred indie rock and alternative pop-tinged sound isn’t without its criticism, though, sometimes being called formulaic, but the late ’90s/early 2000s indie aesthetic, blending a carefree attitude with a sense of melancholy, has strong potential to capture the hearts of Gen Z. Lines like “How can we go back to being friends / When we just shared a bed?” (“back to friends”) and “I don’t wanna get undrеssed / For a new person all ovеr again” (“undressed”) aren’t written with dance challenges in mind but emotional connection. Incredibly specific and almost uncomfortably intimate, his lyrics are immediately relatable and tie into listeners’ own experiences. Not everyone will necessarily interpret “undressed” as literally being about clothes. Rather, they might view it as a layered metaphor that aligns with their personal lives.

One key strategy sombr has employed is ensuring his songs aren’t produced at typical bedroom recording quality. Instead, he aims for professional quality, collaborating with noted producer Tony Berg, who’s worked with some of sombr’s favorite alt artists like Phoebe Bridgers. This elevated level of production has allowed his songs to break out of the streaming bubble and extend to radio and appearances on late-night TV. All eyes are now on sombr as fans wait for news about his debut studio album. Will this generation produce another rock star to call its own? Time will tell.
