Chart Check[Billboard 200]: Rihanna, Adele, & Justin Bieber Finally Fall Out of Top 5

Published: Thursday 14th Apr 2016 by Rashad

2016’s biggest Billboard 200 titans – Adele, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber – collectively dominated the chart since the debut of their most recent respective projects.  As we’ve reported previously, Adele and Bieber’s albums (both released in November 2015) and Rih’s latest project (released in February 2016) enjoyed lengthy reigns atop the BB 200, never once leaving the tally’s top 5…until now.

For, after weeks of fending off the likes of K. Michelle, Zayn, and other brief chart-toppers, 2016’s top trio have now fallen out of the top 5 courtesy of an impressive showing from Kanye West and others. We reported earlier this week that West, whose latest project ‘Life of Pablo’ pushed 94,000 equivalent album sales during its official “debut” week, now holds the #1 spot.

Now, alongside an noteworthy debut from newly formed hip hop duo Twenty88 (Big Sean & Jhene Aiko), tuck in below to see what other acts helped West push Rih, Addy, and Biebs south and completely out of the top 5:

      Another day that you show your lack of ability to read.

      • HailBeysus April 14, 2016

        Lets not talk about lack of ability to read when you struggled to pass Special Ed classes. You out here acting a damn fool asking where Formation is even tho you’ve been told 9182738300202827 times! Poorthang.
        Y’all swear Thotanna was in the top five since Nov 2015 like Adele and Bieber.

      • HailBeysus April 14, 2016

        YAAASSS MARSHA!!! YA BETTA USE THAT MIRANDA PRIESTLY GIF!!! SO MUCH SASS AND FIERCENESS!!!
        *snap snap* FIERCE SIS!!!!

        Anyway im not upset. My fav has a $100 million tour that hasn’t started.
        Meanwhile Thotanna struggles to sell tickets and have one date gross $1 million kiii!!!

      • LmfaoHoe April 14, 2016

        Mark I just can’t with you lol. Your a mess and obviously know you here to start sum s*** when again The Legends never relied on the charts ! So your point is meaningless. Its about IMPACT that’s where your highly celebrated of your achievements of lasting over time. I can’t say the same for others unless they will still be putting out heat in the next 5 to 10 years from now. We’ll see who age gracefully and still putting in the work ??

      • toeknee April 14, 2016

        I won’t even say riri is a singles artist bcos if not for streaming work sales aint nothing to jump over the cliff for.
        #460, #<350k, #emptystadiunseats.

  2. Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn Is ? April 14, 2016

    Adele will be back in the top 5. Disappointed in Kanye’s numbers.

    • LmfaoHoe April 14, 2016

      Adele season seems to be over honestly. When we were young had no huge impact like her previous album did with Rolling in Deep, Set Fire to the rain, Someone like you ect. Unless she release All I ask, Love in the dark or maybe River lea

      • rosy3 April 15, 2016

        How did adele have no impact that last album sold over 10 million already next Grammy she will match Beyonce in grammy awards you sound very silly you forgot adele sells actual albums

  3. King Mark111 /.\ April 14, 2016

    Rihanna is set to return to at least #3 or #4 next week. Formation is still set to NOT chart after 8 weeks.

    • LmfaoHoe April 14, 2016

      Honey Formation wasn’t meant for the charts for the 11th time lol. It was FREE and did its purpose. Hence the tour demand and public discussions it caused. Isn’t that more important than the charts ?

      • LmfaoHoe April 14, 2016

        I mean hell any basic pop song or song can become #1 thanks to streaming. That’s nothing to celebrate if it doesn’t serve longtivity and becomes just another forgettable track within upcoming weeks or months.

      • Navy Captain April 15, 2016

        But Rihanna’s album was free and still got #1 for two weeks. Non-consecutive weeks which is even harder to do. I know formation wasn’t meant to chart but if Rihanna can give free and still take #1 why is bey still only slaying the bubbling under chart? I’m sure B6 will sell nicely but I do think it will be her least successful album.

ESPECIALLY THROUGH ONLINE RETAIL, which happens to be growing bigger and bigger every year.

      • Cinnamon Girl April 14, 2016

      • Cinnamon Girl April 15, 2016

        Of course they’re selling! But they’re not sold out! They still have items available! Noone showed up at the NYC launch! Be honest with yourself. You were expecting this bish to sell out in one day! She hasn’t! She’s not sellng as good as expected. There’s still lots of clothes in stores

  6. Spoken Reason April 14, 2016

    After two months, why are people still not grasping that a free song can’t chart on the Billboard Hot 100?

    • Cinnamon Girl April 14, 2016

      Formation was releases to radio stations but it was blacklisted. Don’t get it twisted

    • rosy3 April 15, 2016

      OK we ain’t going to grasp at formation no more we have hot ass news off the press no one showed up to ivy park launch in new York hives get off these blogs and go support your dying queen

    • No Stan Zone April 15, 2016

      Cause they have cinnamon as brains!

  7. King Mark111 /.\ April 14, 2016

    The Pest with ALL of these excuses every time Beyonce flops. Charts stoping mattering when Beyonce couldn’t chart anymore. Not it’s this “impact” aka whatever we make up and has Beyonce’s name on it. Because being the 2nd highest selling female artist of all time isn’t an impact. 2nd female artist (3rd over ALL) with the most #1’s isn’t an impact. Biggest single of the decade and new single may beat it, no impact. Most #1’s in the 2000’s decade (tied with Beyonce, back when #1’s matter to the pest and the last time Beyonce could get one) AND most #1’s in the 2010’s, yet to the hating @ss pest, no impact.
    .
    What is imapct to them? Performing a song in front of 100 million people, yet not charting. Selling the same as Rihanna, yet Rihanna can’t sell albums. Touring is what they cling to now, why? Because that’s all Beyonce can do. But aren’t they the same ones that discredit Janet because her sells aren’t as high as her rivals, yet what was Janet known for? Oh yea, touring. But pest will be pest.

      That Ivy Park clothing line that she launched was a big flop in the U.S. Noone showed up to Ivy Park’s launch at Topshop in NYC. Google it. Her clothing line has not sold out in stores

      • rosy3 April 15, 2016

        The sad thing these hives come for rih record and Beyonce song is flopping all over the place the hives have the nerve to come for rih how the hell she perform in front of 100 million people and came to the grammies and still flop ask yourselves that hives rih did not have those platform and her album song went to number one people are tired of bey ass she need her daddy to go steal for her this era no one is buying her black activism

  8. Theman April 14, 2016

    Adele’s album is far from over, especially with how great she has continued to sale. Her label will drop a few more singles. She has other choices. A new single is coming. “WWWY” could have been a bigger hit but they stopped promoting it. She doesn’t have to drop singles that quickly. Her other two were still charting. She’s not trying to oversaturate the market. She’s doing great things. She’s allowing her songs to be actual singles. Just because everything isn’t number one doesn’t mean that it isn’t a hit. She sold millions of albums a lot faster this go around. They know what they’re doing. Not really paying Rihanna’s sales attention. That’s not real sales, rather simply streaming….

  9. toeknee April 14, 2016

    These morons tho? Only purpose & 25 actually fell out not when anti still has sold up to 350k. What kind of SHAME. If I were navy I would shut it cos ur bish only sell singles not tours, albums, networt, awards, respect…… For crying out loud she is & probably will remain a s**** to the carters how sad.

    • HailBeysus April 14, 2016

      Oop spill the tes sis! She’ll be begging the Carters for money once all hers goes to the crack rock kii!!

      • rosy3 April 15, 2016

        No one showed up no one showed up no one showed up gtfoh use that energy and thirst you have for rih to show up other than that dry p**** hole stfu you act like bey win at everything your delusional b****

    • rosy3 April 15, 2016

      B**** bye no navy is coming for adele and Justin those two artist supportive of rih foreigners supports each black Americans hate on rih all day everyday

    Absolutely Noone Showed Up To The Ivy Park Launch In NYC – Cosmopolitan
    New Yorkers Were Too Busy To Attend Ivy Parks’ Launch – NY Magazine
    LMAO!

  12. LB April 15, 2016

    Still crying at that ivy park flop launch in the USA. Oh and the clothes are still not sold out, what happened to selling out?

    • rosy3 April 15, 2016

      They will come with stupid excuse bey own clothes did not sell out in America all those 50 magazines she been on bey walk around like she better than everyone soon we will see her hanging out with Kim k and collaborate with rih for a hit maybe call drake or ledisi

  13. Stacia April 15, 2016

    What i dont get is whether an album is bought or streamed ppl still listening to it. If certain cd’s werent available to stream and i wanted it i would go buy it but if i can stream it im gonna stream it. If i lose a cd or it gets scratched i have to buy another one. I can listen to a cd not like it and never listen to it again. With streaming u know exactly whose being listened to. A cd can make hype look like success but streaming lets u know without a doubt whats being listened too so i dont see whats so unfair bout streams.

  14. Theman April 15, 2016

    Lol bs. Streaming allows you to hear music for a cheaper price. Albums should be a little cheaper. They sale better that way. But Rihanna fans don’t buy anything. Y’all like bragging about free shyt. Purchase one album and single. It ain’t that big a deal. Lol.. You can get it however you choose to..Some people only stream stuff for the charts. It’s sort of fixed. Artists that don’t get that kind of shine won’t get streamed as much. Streaming is just very unimpressive. It’s another way to hear music. But it’s a watered down way.

    • Stacia April 15, 2016

      Im just trying to figure out what the big deal is. I come from a time where we used to dub songs and tapes. Getting music free or cheaper is nothing new they just found a way to keep track of whose getting play. I understand ppl wanting pay their faves but that doesn’t make the music any better. I think this streaming thing can shed light on who makes better music and who is just hype. Some ppl buy just cuz of who it is

  15. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!!! April 15, 2016

    Taylor Swifts classic pop album 1989 still selling well at 22:):)

    • ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 15, 2016

      How’d you feel about her new Vogue cover? It took me a while to notice that it was her and I honestly like that about it. It’s really edgy, yet rocker/retro style chic and I’m sure it’ll sell more than Kendall’s cover. I’m honestly surprised that she doesn’t have a lot of covers by now. You would’ve thought that she’d at least get one every era.

      • Taylor swifts number 1 fan!!! April 15, 2016

        Yeah she looks very different, but that’s kind off what they went for. Something that you’d completly not associate with taylor.

  16. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 15, 2016

    …and “Anti” is right at the door outside of the top 5 patiently waiting to return inside next week. Lol! I don’t know about saying the same for the other two albums, though.

  17. oscar April 15, 2016

    is anti gold in real sales yet

  18. Tran uk anti bloper honey love but it okay girl April 16, 2016

    Good for him
