Charts Recap for August 15th - 21st, 2022

We’ve got a new weekly top-ten best-sellers chart up! And the only record new to this week’s charts is also our new number-one record! It is Cheat Codes, the brand new collaboration between esteemed producer DANGER MOUSE and The Roots’ head lyricist BLACK THOUGHT. This was a long percolating project, and the end result is two masters of their crafts in conversation making an appealingly straight forward hip-hop record.

Below the number one spot our charts are shockingly stable, with no other new entrants this week. Is it time to start guessing yearly best-sellers? Odds are that two records in this top-ten could vie for the honor. Harry’s House from HARRY STYLES and the WET LEG debut have both been zeitgeist definers for 2022 as well as constant chart presences. Either could be our number-one record for the year!
