Tyler, The Creator's New No. 1 Helps His Older Bestsellers Reappear
Five Tyler Albums Chart Simultaneously
In what has become another huge frame for Tyler, five of his albums appear on at least one Billboard list. Two of them manage to reenter particularly high-profile rosters.
Flower Boy makes the most impressive comeback. That set, released in 2017, bounds back onto the Billboard 200 at No. 177. At the same time, it narrowly reappears on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, coming in at No. 49, in second to last on the 50-position tally.
Vinyl Sales Lift Call Me If You Get Lost
As Flower Boy climbs back onto a pair of rankings, Call Me If You Get Lost reenters just one. Tyler's 2021 bestselling collection returns to the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 25. At the moment, that's the only list where Call Me If You Get Lost appears.
New Album Launches at No. 1 on Five Charts
Don't Tap the Glass opens at No. 1 on five Billboard charts this week: the Billboard 200, Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and Top Rap Albums rankings. The only list it fails to conquer is Top Streaming Albums roster, where it opens at No. 4, though it does earn Tyler just his second top 10 placement on that particular ranking.
As Don't Tap the Glass starts high and both Flower Boy and Call Me If You Get Lost surge, Cherry Bomb and Igor also grow on multiple tallies. Consumption of nearly everything in Tyler's catalog expands, which speaks to the excitement around his latest full-length, as well as his general, unceasing popularity.

Lady Gaga's Biggest Singles Match One Another — For Now
Lady Gaga first rose to fame by reintroducing millions of Americans to electronic dance-pop with her breakout hit "Just Dance." The tune, which arrived in mid-2008, has stood as her longest-charting single ever since then — until now. This week, the song that started it all is finally matched by one of Gaga's most recent releases, which couldn't sound less like her introductory hit – and yet, the two have now spent the same amount of time on the Hot 100. 49 Weeks on the Hot 100 "Die With a Smile," Gaga's collaboration with Bruno Mars, reaches 49 weeks on the Hot 100. As it hits that milestone, "Die With a Smile" ties "Just Dance" for the honor of being Gaga's longest-running success on the most important songs tally in America. "Die With a Smile" Vs. 'Just Dance' Once again, "Die With a Smile" holds at No. 10 on the Hot 100. The fact that it remains within the chart's highest tier after 49 weeks — at which point "Just Dance" was about to disappear — speaks volumes about the popularity of "Die With a Smile" and how rankings are now compiled differently these days. "Die With a Smile" Will Likely Win in a Few Days It seems inevitable that "Die With a Smile" will pass "Just Dance" in just a few days, and there's no telling how much longer it might remain on the list. The track appears to be a surefire bet to become Gaga's first to hit a full year on the competitive ranking, and it could continue to find space on the Hot 100 for months. "Die With a Smile" Beats 'Just the Way You Are' For Mars, "Die With a Smile" breaks out of a tie with his own breakout hit "Just the Way You Are" to become his third-longest-charting Hot 100 smash. "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson remains his greatest success, as it spent 56 weeks on the tally, 14 of which were at No. 1. "That's What I Like," which topped the ranking once in May 2017, slipped off after exactly a year. "Die With a Smile" is all but certain to match "That's What I Like" within a month. Whether it can catch up to "Uptown Funk," however, remains to be seen.

Black Sabbath Beats Its Own Record Four Times Over
Black Sabbath is in the middle of one of its most impressive weeks on the Billboard charts, though sadly, it's not much of a celebration. The group's frontman, Ozzy Osbourne, passed away in late July, just weeks after the band performed its final show to a massive crowd in Birmingham, England. As sales and streams of both Osbourne's solo material and Black Sabbath's catalog surged, fans sent a number of popular tracks and bestselling albums back to rankings all around the world, especially in the United States. The outfit's success – and Osbourne's popularity – is perhaps best seen by taking a look at the Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Black Sabbath Scores Multiple Bestsellers Black Sabbath currently fills four spaces on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart, which lists the top-selling tunes within the U.S. classified by the magazine as rock. All four tracks — "Paranoid," "Iron Man," "War Pigs/Luke's Wall," and "Changes" — debut simultaneously. Coincidentally, they land one right after another, opening at Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. Black Sabbath Sets a New High Before this frame, Black Sabbath had only reached the Rock Digital Song Sales chart once. More than a decade ago, "God Is Dead?" climbed as high as No. 20. Now, the band not only secures a new career peak, but does so by placing four tracks ahead of what was previously its greatest success on this tally. Ozzy Osbourne Outshines Black Sabbath With Nine Solo Hits While Black Sabbath occupies more than one-quarter of all available slots on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, Osbourne performs even better as a solo act. He posthumously claims nine of the 15 spaces on the list, including the highest-ranking title. Seven of these tunes — "No More Tears," "Changes," "Close My Eyes Forever" (with Lita Ford), "Dreamer," "Shot in the Dark," "Mr. Crowley," and "See You on the Other Side" — debut this frame. Meanwhile, fan favorites "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and "Crazy Train" earn another stay on the ranking.

I tried ‘Bricking' my phone to fix my brain
'We need to talk.' Nobody likes to hear those words from their spouse. Especially when it's delivered in a grave tone as you rot on a couch in a grubby blankie, staring like a zombie while doomscrolling. 'Wut?' I said, very intelligently. What came next was a compassionate but firm speech about how I was in dire need of an intervention. My attention span, my spouse said, was utterly shot to hell. They'd just asked my opinion about something happening on the TV show we were watching. I hadn't heard them. At all. Apparently, they'd repeated the question three times. Instead, I'd been engrossed in… actually, I couldn't tell you. 'You have a problem,' they said, tapping my phone. 'You can't put it down.' I launched into an impassioned self-defense. A close friend was going through a tough time, and I was worried about them. My bestie was asking my opinion on a dicey work matter. Those texts could not wait! Plus, it was a busy week at work, and I was keeping an eye on something in Slack. And I'd only picked up my phone during our sacred viewing of Love is Blind to look up a factoid about the tea the show producers had kept hidden, and then I'd seen an ad for a new sunscreen and — oh. 'It's not a 'you' problem,' my infinitely patient spouse said. 'I do it, too. Which is why I think you should Brick yourself.' For the second time that night, I uttered a very intelligent, 'Wut?' As it turns out, my spouse heard about Brick from a podcast and had been using it for months. It's an app that 'bricks' distracting apps and their notifications. Similar to other screen-time apps, you can create modes that let you pick and choose which distracting apps to block. For example, a 'deep work mode' that blocks all social media. But unlike other screen time apps, this one gets a bit nuclear. Brick comes with a physical key — a small NFC-enabled square about the size of an AirPods case. You tap your phone to the key to brick it, and you must tap the device again to unbrick it. If you lose the key, you can't unbrick your phone. The company gives you only five 'emergency unbrick' codes to manually override blocked apps in a pinch. Once you use one, it's gone. Forever. If you use the codes up and lose the key, well. You've got to factory-reset. There's even a 'strict mode' that prevents you from deleting all apps while your phone is bricked. As in, you won't be able to bypass it by deleting and redownloading blocked apps. My spouse had lost their Brick. Apparently, that's why they hadn't been on social media in weeks. They were adamant that my attention span — and therefore my life — would dramatically improve if I tried it too. So I gave it an honest go. It went poorly. The main problem is that Brick requires you to be intentional about being present. I was addicted to being omnipresent. I became so worried about losing the key — and therefore my connection to Knowing Things — that I carried it with me everywhere. When you carry the key with you, it becomes stupidly easy to just unbrick your phone whenever temptation or mild inconvenience strikes. My failure was useful, though. It underscored everything my spouse said about how my attention span had eroded over the past five years. Humbling as it was, I had to look at how I got here. As a caretaker, I'd gotten used to allowing every notification because I was afraid of missing an important one. As executor of my mother's estate, I'd been trained to jump at every email and to pick up every unknown call because it could be a bank representative, an unpaid bill collector, or a long-lost friend wanting to know what happened. And, well, in journalism, you're incentivized to pivot at a moment's notice if news breaks. It's hard to fully unplug when a small portion of your brain is always on call. Despite the dopamine rush I get from answering notifications, it's a bad way to live long-term. I love reading. I used to be able to devour A Song of Ice and Fire books in a single sitting. I was one of those dorks who read nearly 100 books a year. But in the last year, getting through a single chapter was a Herculean struggle. But where I noticed it most was while watching TV shows and movies. At first, it started with recognizing an actor but not knowing from where. I'd reach for my phone, look them up, and go back to watching. Simple. But somewhere along the way, particularly while watching thrillers or horror movies, I became unable to handle the anxiety of not knowing what would happen next. The internet is glorious for that. Some people hate spoilers, but I devoured them. I started avoiding movie theaters, not just because they were expensive, but because my hands would itch with the urge to look things up. And once you pick up your phone, something else will grab your attention next. It wasn't until I saw Old Friends and John Proctor is the Villain that it hit me. In a Broadway theater, a grumpy usher will kick you out if you're on your phone. (Or, Tony Award-winner Patti LuPone might snatch it from your hand.) The not-knowing was uncomfortable at first. But sitting with that discomfort also allowed me to feel delighted when moments of the shows surprised me. I remembered that not knowing isn't always a portent of disaster. It can be a good thing. Maybe I'd failed with Brick because of my tendency to optimize for every scenario. Right off the bat, I'd created a Work mode, a Writing mode, a Reading mode, a TV mode, a Fitness mode, and so on and so forth. Who in their right mind is going to remember to tap a device every time they switch gears? I put maybe two hours of work into selecting which apps to block for each without knowing what I actually needed. That only frustrated me when I required something from my phone. Ultimately, I put myself in a situation where I couldn't possibly succeed. But what if I just used Brick for one scenario: Watching TV. I remembered that not knowing isn't always a portent of disaster. It can be a good thing. I've since edited my Brick's TV mode. When enabled, the only apps I can use are Messages and utilities like the Clock, Calls, or the Wallet app. People can reach me in real emergencies, but once a show starts, I now put my phone face down on the table and take off my smartwatches. I'm trying a thing where, if I have an insatiable burning need to know something during an episode, I write it down on a memo pad. So far, I've learned the world doesn't end if I am late to respond — even if people, usually other chronically online friends, get tetchy with me. My attention span hasn't been fully rehabilitated. My spouse and I are currently rewatching Law and Order SVU, and every time there's a cameo, I nearly lose my mind trying to figure out who it is. But I miss fewer plot points. I laugh more because I'm not missing Ice-T's infamous zingers. I'm still struggling with longer movies and prestige shows, but I've started reading more easily again. I can't prove these two things are related, but it feels like they are. I don't know that I'll ever find the perfect balance between being connected and disconnected. Brick still doesn't work for me in every scenario. I don't think this is a solution that'll work for everyone in the same boat. But this experiment has been a helpful reminder that you don't always have to go big and fix everything at once. Sometimes, all it takes is a tweak to get a small win. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go rescue my Brick key from my cat. I like a little peace, but I'm not ready to lose an emergency unbrick code just from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.
