Below are three charts with music data from the week ending December 30, 2021. The first chart includes the top 10 albums of the week based on total weekly units sold according to Billboard (and usually a small select number albums below the top 10). The next two charts document the top songs of the week based on total number of plays on U.S. pop radio. The top chart comes from Nielsen/BDS and includes the top 40 songs of the week, while the bottom chart comes from Mediabase and includes the top 50 songs of the week. The key difference between the charts is that Nielsen/BDS uses computers to monitor radio stations while Mediabase uses humans. Additionally, the Nielsen/BDS chart is what goes into the Billboard Hot 100 formula. Finally, note that the tracking week for album sales is Friday-Thursday while the tracking week for radio is Sunday-Saturday.
The final full tracking week of 2021 was a pretty quiet one for album sales with no albums selling over 100K units. The last time that happened was in the week ending Oct. 28th when Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy' ranked #1 with only 74,000 units. Adele's '30' came close this week with 99,000, but this was still a huge drop from last week's pre-Christmas 212,000. Michael Buble's 'Christmas' & Taylor Swift's 'Red (Taylor's Version) held at #2 and #3 respectively while Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' inched up 5-4 (46,000) due to Roddy Ricch's 'Live Life Fast' falling out of the top 10 (23,000). Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous: The Double Album' returned to the top 10 this week after a 1 week departure (up 12-5) while Disney's 'Encanto' soundtrack reached the top 10 for the first time at #7 (41,000). The rest of the top 10 was filled by various Christmas albums with Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song' at #6, 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' at #8, Mariah Carey's 'Merry Christmas' at #9, and 'A Christmas Gift For You from Phil Spector' rounding out at #10.
