Tuesday is new Billboard chart day each week! As all charts update each Tuesday, here’s a look at highlights of the latest rankings, dated Oct. 3 and reflecting the Sept. 18-24 measurement week, according to data tracker Luminate.
Among this week’s chart stars are Miley, Madonna, ADÉLA, Ella Langley and Latin music legend Ricardo Montaner.
As previously reported, Miley returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as Bass Persuades thumps in with 61,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its debut week. Counting her billings as Miley, Miley Cyrus and Disney’s Hannah Montana, she scores her sixth leader and 16th top 10 album. (Ashley O remains a singles artist.)
Miley last led the Billboard 200 with Bangerz in 2013, following her first four No. 1s in 2006-09. The entertainer is one of three acts to have topped the chart this year and reigned in three or more distinct decades. She joins Madonna (1980s, 2000s, 10s and ‘20s) and Taylor Swift (2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s) for the honor.
Madonna, meanwhile, adds a milestone No. 1 on the Dance Airplay chart from her latest Billboard 200 No. 1, Confessions II.
