CHART FINAL: DISNEY DOES IT AGAIN
Disney's Encanto soundtrack is the first #1 of 2022. The album leads the HITS Top 50 with 70k, powered by standout tracks "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure." It's the first soundtrack to top the album chart since Disney's Frozen 2 in December 2019.
Adele's 30 (Columbia) vacates #1 for the first time, sliding to #2 in its seventh week.
Morgan Wallen and Olivia Rodrigo begin the year at #3 and #4 with 2021 album champs Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Republic) and SOUR (Geffen), respectively. Bad Bunny lands the top debut at #16, coinciding with the vinyl release of his three-album boxed set, Anniversary Trilogy.
Streeting this week is The Weeknd's Dawn FM (XO/Republic) and Gunna's DS4EVER. See the full Top 50 here.
