The rapper Roddy Ricch topped the latest Billboard album chart with “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” and Green Day’s latest opened in the Top 5, in a slow week before the arrival of the latest from Justin Bieber.
Ricch, a big star on streaming services, particularly YouTube, had the equivalent of 79,000 album sales for “Please Excuse Me” in its fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1.
Green Day’s new album, “Father of All ____,” its first in four years, opened at No. 4, with the equivalent of 48,000 sales. Of those, 42,000 copies were purchased as complete albums, helped by merchandise sales bundles on the band’s website.
Bieber’s latest, “Changes,” which came out on Valentine’s Day, is expected to arrive at No. 1 on next week’s chart.
Also this week, Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” is No. 2, Eminem’s “Music to Be Murdered By” is No. 3, and Billie Eilish’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” is No. 5. Last week’s top seller, Lil Wayne’s “Funeral,” fell to sixth place.
