The 59th Annual Grammys were one to remember for Hip Hop fans as Chance The Rapper made history and Beyoncé wowed with her performance, which gave both significant sales spikes. Meanwhile, Big Sean and Migos drop down in their sales. Oh, and Lupe Fiasco’s DROGAS Light makes its debut at #28. All of this follows the debut of the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, which takes the top spot this week on Billboard’s 200 albums chart.

Beyoncé Soars With “LEMONADE”

Beyoncé had a significant leap in album sales last week, going from #49 to #33. The singer sees her LEMONADE project landing at #9 this sales cycle with a 190 percent increase. The project sold 38,066 equivalent album units and was nominated for Album of the Year. While Queen Bey didn’t take home that trophy, she did take home two others. The hype had fans purchasing 29,371 albums and streaming the project 1.4 million times.

Chance The Rapper Continues To Make History With “Coloring Book”

Chance The Rapper saw an 87 percent spike in the sales for Coloring Book, the project that won Best Rap Album at the Grammys, as it lands at #22 on this week’s chart.

Migos & Big Sean Slip Slightly

Big Sean’s I Decided. lands in the #3 spot this week after debuting at the top spot last sales cycle. The 61,679 equivalent album units the project pushed led to a 59 percent drop from last week. Migos’ Culture charts at #4 in its third week with 58,897 album units, a 14 percent decrease. Both projects were streamed more than 60 million times each.
