\n Conan Gray, who’s worked his way up from the YouTube content mines to become a pop star in his own right, enters this week’s chart at No. 3 with his album Wishbone<\/em>.

This week, Morgan Wallen<\/a>‘s I’m the Problem<\/em> sits at No. 1 on the Billboard<\/em> 200 albums chart yet again. But the two titles just below it are making the most noise: At No. 3, former YouTube star Conan Gray<\/a> hits a new career peak with Wishbone<\/em>. And at No. 2, KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> pulls off something no soundtrack has ever accomplished: It’s landed four top 10 singles simultaneously. Not even Saturday Night Fever<\/em> or Waiting to Exhale<\/em> ever pulled that off \u2014 though, to be fair, the world of streaming services was still decades away.<\/p>\n

TOP ALBUMS<\/h3>\n

Last week, another wave of top 10 debuts<\/a> washed up on shore, as the Billboard<\/em> 200 albums chart welcomed new entries by Gunna<\/a>, MGK<\/a>, Jonas Brothers<\/a> and Babymetal<\/a>. This week, Gunna remains on a sunny patch of dry land \u2014 The Last Wun<\/em> slips a single spot, to No. 4 \u2014 while the other three are sent hurtling back<\/a> to the turbid seas whence they came. (Babymetal went from “the first all-Japanese band ever to hit the top 10” to “off the charts entirely” in just seven days, but it’ll always have that one week at No. 9.)<\/p>\n
