GLOBAL NO.1 - 30 YEARS AGO... "Another Day In Paradise" was released on October 23, 1989 as the first single from Collins' fourth solo studio album But Seriously. The power ballad has as its subject the problem of homelessness. Collins sings the song from a third-person perspective, as he observes a man crossing the street to ignore a homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion: 'it's just another day for you and me in paradise'. Collins also appeals directly to God by singing: 'Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be something you can say'. "Another Day In Paradise" won a Grammy Award for the Record Of The Year at the 1991 awards ceremony and topped the hitlists in the United States, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Selena Gomez earns third no.1 album on Billboard 200

Selena Gomez earns her third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as Rare launches atop the tally. The set, which was released Jan. 10 via Interscope Records, starts with 112,000

equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Nielsen Music. In total, Rare’s start of 112,000 units was powered by nearly 56,000 in SEA units (equating to 79.3 million on-demand streams for album’s tracks), just under 53,000 in album sales, and a little over 3,000 in TEA units. (All numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand.) Notably, unlike many releases, Rare’s bow was not enhanced by album sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer. However, it did get an assist from sales of many merchandise/album bundles sold via Gomez’s official website, as well as a deluxe CD with bonus tracks available only at Target. Rare is Gomez’s sixth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 in total -- the entirety of her studio efforts (both as a proper solo artist, and those with former backing band The Scene). Here’s a rundown of Gomez’s top 10s: Rare (No. 1), Revival (in 2015, No. 1), Stars Dance (2013, No. 1);

and then her three projects with The Scene, When the Sun Goes Down (2011, No. 3), A Year Without Rain (2010, No. 4) and Kiss and Tell (2009, No. 9). The only Gomez album to miss the top 10 is the greatest hits package For You, which peaked at No. 24 in 2014. Rare was led by the songs “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look at Her Now.” The former became her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, vaulting 15-1 on the list dated Nov. 9, 2019. At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Roddy Ricch​’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial falls one rung with 110,000 equivalent album units earned -- though the set is up by 14% for the week (compared to the 97,000 units it tallied in the previous week). The rapper’s album continues to profit from the huge streaming popularity of its song “The Box,” which jumped to No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart a week ago (dated Jan. 18). Of Please Excuse Me’s total unit sum of 110,000 in the week ending Jan. 16, the vast majority was driven by streaming activity. 107,000 of its overall total are SEA units (up 13%), while just under 2,000 are TEA units (up 22%) and a little over 1,000 are album sales (up 30%). The album’s 107,000 SEA units sum equates to 163.04 million in on-demand streams for the set’s songs in the tracking week. The second and final debut in the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 chart is Moneybagg Yo’s new Time Served, which starts at No. 3. The effort secures the rapper his highest charting album, as it enters with 66,000 equivalent album units earned, driven largely by streaming activity (59,000 SEA units, which translates to 84.1 million on-demand streams for the set’s songs during the week). Moneybagg Yo previous visited the top 10 with 43VA Heartless (No. 4 in 2019) and Federal 3x (No. 5 in 2017). The rest of the new top 10 comprises former No. 1s. Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding dips 2-4 with 60,000 equivalent album units (down 8%), DaBaby’s Kirk rises 6-5 with 43,000 units (up 5%) and Harry Styles’ Fine Line falls 3-6 with 41,000 units (down 16%). Jackboys’ self-titled album descends 4-7 with 38,000 units (down 18%), the Frozen II soundtrack slips 5-8 with 35,000 units (down 15%), Billie Eilish​’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? moves 7-9 with 35,000 units (down 8%) and Young Thug’s So Much Fun dips 8-10 with 32,000 units (down 7%). Roddy Ricch's "The Box," released on Bird Vision / Atlantic Records, tallies a third week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs survey, up by 13% to 77.2 million U.S. streams in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, as it claims the Hot 100's top Streaming Gainer award for a second week. The sum is the highest for a song since Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, drew 86.2 million (July 27, 2019); "Road" set the weekly record with 143 million U.S. streams (April 20, 2019). The lofty streaming total for "The Box" is so far without the aid of an official proper video, although, as noted on the latest This Week in Billboard News podcast, it has recently been filmed. The song's official audio clip was released Dec. 6, while a lyric video arrived Jan. 9. The track by the 21-year-old Compton, California, native (real name: Rodrick Wayne Moore, Jr.) rises 8-7 on Digital Song Sales, up 26% to 13,000 sold in the week ending Jan. 16. Plus, "The Box" enters the Radio Songs chart at No. 50, gaining by 70% to 18.5 million all-format airplay audience impressions in the week ending Jan. 19. Future's "Life Is Good," featuring Drake, flies onto the Hot 100 at No. 2. It enters Digital Song Sales at No. 1 with 25,000 sold and Streaming Songs at No. 2 with 50.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Jan. 16, following its release late on Jan. 9. Future achieves his first Digital Song Sales No. 1, while Drake banks his 11th, tying Justin Bieber for the most among solo males; a week earlier, Bieber passed Drake when "Yummy" opened at No. 1. Drake and Bieber are tied with Katy Perry for the third-most leaders on the list, after Taylor Swift (18) and Rihanna (14). Drake, meanwhile, tallies his record-tying 207th Hot 100 entry, matching the Glee Cast for the most in the chart's history. Drake first appeared on the chart dated May 23, 2009; two weeks later, the Glee troupe made its first appearance, on the June 6, 2009-dated ranking, after the TV series premiered that May 19 on Fox. Post Malone's "Circles" holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, as it scores a fifth week atop Radio Songs, down by 1% to 100.3 million in airplay audience. Maroon 5's "Memories" is steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after reaching a No. 2 high, and Selena Gomez's "Lose You to Love Me," from her new album Rare, released Jan. 10, rebounds 10-5, after it led the Nov. 9 chart. As previously announced, Rare roars in as Gomez's third No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved" is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, following its three-week domination; Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber's No. 4-peaking "10,000 Hours" slips 5-7, as it tops the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a 15th week; and Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" retreats to No. 8 from its No. 7 high. Arizona Zervas' debut hit "Roxanne" remains at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 4, while boasting top Airplay Gainer honors for a second week, as it becomes his first top 10 on Radio Songs (14-8; 57.3 million, up 16%). Capping the Hot 100's top 10, Bieber's "Yummy" falls 2-10 in its second week on the chart, as it drops from No. 1 to No. 10 on Digital Song Sales (11,000, down 85%) and falls 2-6 on Streaming Songs (24.3 million, down 17%) and 10-17 on Radio Songs (46.1 million, down 9%). The track tops the Hot R&B Songs chart for a second week.
