Hip Hop and R&B continues to dominate the Billboard 200’s Top 10 for the week ending November 1. Tory Lanez’s Love Me Now? makes a strong debut in the Top 5, while Ty Dolla $ign and Jeremih’s collaborative project, MihTy, enters the chart at No. 60.
Meanwhile, MadeInTYO’s Sincerely, Tokyo hobbles on the chart at No. 99, just squeezing into the Top 100.
In His Lanez
Tory Lanez’s Love Me Now? has hit the chart at No. 4 with 53,795 total album equivalent units, 5,012 in pure album sales and a streaming count of 62,515,513.
The project follows Memories Don’t Lie, which was released back in March and debuted at No. 3 with roughly 54,000 total album equivalent units sold in its first week.
Mih Mih Mih
Despite the famous fingerprints of features king Ty Dolla $ign, his collaborative project with Jeremih — MihTy — has hit the chart at a less-than-stellar No. 60.
With 11,337 total album equivalent units, 1,459 pure album sales and a streaming count of 12,237,857, the album clearly struggled to break through the Top 50.
The project serves as the debut album from the high-profile duo and features French Montana, Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown.
