Leading the week on the radio was Ariana Grande's 'positions' which reached an audience of 53.4 million people through 16,487 radio plays across the U.S. this week. Only two artists had more than one song in the top 50 radio plays: Ariana Grande had '34+35' in addition to 'positions,' and Justin Bieber had 'Monster' in addition to 'Holy' & 'Lonely.' Other songs of note outside the top 20 list below include: Taylor Swift's 'willow' (2,427/7.40m), Conan Gray's 'Heather' (2,357/4.30m), Bad Bunny's 'DAKITI' (1,149/2.99m), and Shawn Mendes's 'Wonder' (620/1.60m). Topping the recurrent chart was Kane Brown's 'Be Like That' with 5,827 plays, and other songs of note from that chart include Harry Styles's 'Watermelon Sugar' (5,087) & 'Adore You' (3,944), Post Malone's 'Circles' (4,236), and Doja Cat's 'Say So' (3,002).
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to present the album sales chart so I've included the top 10 albums according to both Rolling Stone and Billboard. The two sites have different sources of data (Rolling Stone is from Alpha Data while Billboard is from Nielsen) so I thought it would be good to include both. Rolling Stone publishes this data for the full top 200 albums, but Billboard only publishes the raw data for the top 10, so for ease we'll stick with top 10 for both for now. For comparison purposes, if an album makes the Billboard top 10, but not the Rolling Stone top 10, I will still include it in the Rolling Stone chart.

Taylor Swift's new album 'Evermore' dominated the week in both sales & streaming on the Billboard chart, selling over 329,000 album equivalent units, with 154,500 of that coming from pure album sales. The release propelled Swift's other 2020 album, 'Folklore,' to the third spot on the week with 133,000 units. Sandwiched between the two Swift albums was Kid Cudi's 'Man on the Moon III: The Chosen' which sold 144,000 units.
The three above albums each pulled similar numbers to their Rolling Stone numbers. Below the top 10 on on the Rolling Stone list was Miley Cyrus's 'Plastic Hearts' (30,803), Shawn Mendes's 'Wonder' (27,601), Pentatonix's 'We Need a Little Christmas' (25,786), Post Malone's 'Hollywood's Bleeding' (24,661), Billie Eilish's 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' (23,221), and Bad Bunny's 'YHLQMDLG' (17,228). See note below for the difference between the Billboard and Rolling Stone numbers.
