Before Lipa, the last British soloist to lead the Artist 100 chart was Harry Styles in December 2019. The last British solo woman was Adele in March 2016.
Among other Artist 100 chart moves, Weezer re-enters at No. 8, a new peak and the group’s first week in the top 10, as its new LP Van Weezer debuts at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums and No. 11 on the Billboard 200 (27,000 equivalent album units), as well as No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart (23,000 copies sold).
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
