Cole<\/a>, as well. Even with \u201cDeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS\u201d doing as smashingly as it did, it was held at No. 2 because J. Cole\u2019s \u201cThe Fall-Off\u201d did even better, debuting at No. 1 with the best weekly number for any R&amp;B or hip-hop album in 11 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThe Fall-Off\u201d landed on top with 280,000 equivalent album units.

Its unit figure of 81,000 represented a 163% jump from the previous week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn most other recent weeks, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/ateez\/\" id=\"auto-tag_ateez\" data-tag=\"ateez\">Ateez<\/a> would have easily had a No. 1 album with the 200,000 equivalent album units the K-pop group earned with \u201cGolden Hour: Part 4.\u201d But in this particular week, with J. Cole and Bad Bunny registering so strongly, Ateez had to settle for a No. 3 chart bow. As Billboard noted, sales were pumped by the availability of 25 physical variants in the marketplace, which is about on par for hit K-pop acts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe album that debuted at No. 1 last week, Don Toliver\u2019s \u201cOctane,\u201d got bumped three spots to No. 4, with its numbers down by 40% to 97,000 units \u2014 still a very good hold, as second weeks go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe top 10 of the Billboard 200 is rounded out by Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m the Problem\u201d at No. 7, Olivia Dean\u2019s \u201cThe Art of Loving\u201d at No. 8 (even though she fell four spots, her still-rising numbers were up another 7%), Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d at No. 9 and \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d at No. 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source variety.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the week after the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny had a super week as far as consumption of his recorded music.
