Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar Top Midyear Album, Song Sales
Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem was the biggest album in the U.S. through the first half of 2025, and Kendrick Lamar and SZA had the biggest song with 'Luther,' Luminate reported in its 2025 Midyear Report published Wednesday morning. Since its release in May, I'm The Problem has already amassed 2.562 million equivalent units, per Luminate, buoyed most directly by over 2.9 billion streams, while also amassing about 200,000 album sales and another 250,000 song sales. SZA's SOS, which has enjoyed a significant boost since she released her deluxe Lana reissue of the album at the end of last year, was the second-biggest album in the U.S. at the midyear with about 1.711 million equivalent units. Kendrick Lamar's GNX came in third with just over 1.7 million, Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos took fourth with 1.65 million, and Sabrina Carpenter's 2024 Short n' Sweet rounded out the Top Five with over 1.3 million.

'Luther' is the undisputed Number One, racking up over 3.9 million units on over 530 million streams, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile' took second with 3.1 million units. Lamar's 'Not Like Us' and 'TV Off' took third and fourth, and Wallen's 'I'm The Problem' rounded out the top five with 2.5 million units. Globally, 'Die With a Smile' came in first with 1.9 billion streams, Rosé and Mars' 'APT' with over 1.6 billion streams, Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' is number three with over 1.3 billion streams, 'Luther' took fourth with over 1.2 billion streams and Bad Bunny's 'DtMF' was in fifth with over 1.1 billion. Overall, global streams rose about 10 percent at the midyear 2025 compared to last year, up to about 2.5 trillion streams. Streaming accounted for 92 percent of all music consumption in the U.S., Luminate said. Physical album sales fell slightly by 3 percent in the first half of the year, though excluding Swift's massive sales from last year, album sales grew 5.5 percent. In order, the top 10 most-popular genres in the U.S. are as follows: R&B/Hip-Hop, rock, pop, country, Latin, dance/electronic, Christian/gospel, world music, children, and classical. Per Luminate, the highest-growth Genres in the first half of the year were rock, latin, country, Christian/gospel and Blues, the latter of which saw a bump because of the soundtrack to Sinners. Groups like Sleep Token and Ghost, who both managed to top Billboard's 200 Albums Chart this year, reflect growth in hard rock in particular. According to Luminate, 69 percent of hard rock listeners are men and 35 percent of them are millenial. Hard rock progenitors Led Zeppelin had the top music documentary in the first half of the year with Becoming Led Zeppelin, which Luminate said helped drive a 23 percent bump in their streaming numbers. 'This report identifies numerous opportunities for continued diversification and growth across the industry. For example, the evolving interplay of generations, genres and growth is clearly demonstrated by the resurgence of the Christian/Gospel genre,' Luminate CEO Rob Jonas said in a statement. 'This multifaceted trend is fueled by its artistic evolution, enhanced accessibility through digital platforms, influence of modern worship movements, rise of powerful subgenres such as Christian Hip-Hop and a growing consumer demand for authentic content.'

Alex Warren Responds to Drake's Diss After Beating Him for Hot 100 No. 1
It's no ordinary day when one of the biggest rappers in the world calls you out, but Alex Warren is taking Drake's recent diss in stride. In response to Drizzy's comments about the TikToker's smash hit 'Ordinary' blocking the former's 'What Did I Miss?' from debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, Warren posted a tongue-in-cheek video of himself Monday (July 14) on Instagram Stories. In the clip, he dances along to Drake's 'Nokia,' staring innocently into the camera as he shakes his hips to the lyrics, 'Baby girl/ Let me see you do your dance, let me see you twirl.' More from Billboard Drake Reacts to Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' Holding Him Off From Hot 100 No. 1 Debut: 'I'm Taking That Soon Don't Worry' Max B Squashes Beef With Jim Jones: 'I Want to Start Over' Kapo Shakes Up Latin Albums Charts With 'Por Si Alguien Nos Escucha': 'I Declared That I Was No. 1' In lieu of a caption, Warren simply tagged Drake's username. 'Nokia' also happens to have never reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, debuting at No. 10 in March before eventually climbing to No. 2 the following month. Warren's response comes shortly after the Canadian superstar expressed his disappointment with debuting at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart dated July 19. On his Story, Drake wrote earlier on Monday, 'Suppressor on the 1 spot.' 'I'm taking that soon don't worry one song or another,' he added at the time, sharing a graphic of the U.S. chart's top 10, which showed 'What Did I Miss?' sitting just below Warren's 'Ordinary' at No. 1. Though Drake may not be happy with the position of 'What Did I Miss?' on the charts this week, the track still earned him a record-extending 81st top 10 hit on the Hot 100. He also now has 359 total entries on the ranking, more than any other artist in history. Plus, 'Ordinary' has proven pretty hard to beat. Warren's breakthrough hit has spent a total of six weeks in the top spot, dethroned only temporarily by Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' spending one week at No. 1 in late June. Warren is currently fresh off the release of 'On My Mind' with ROSÉ, which followed his Jelly Roll duet, 'Bloodline.' Both tracks will appear on Warren's new album, You'll Be Alright, Kid, which drops Friday (July 18).
