A couple late reporting outlets will add a few more thousand to the total. Kayne's track *Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1* was the top streamed song off of Life of Pablo, with 10M streams. Even the least streamed song on the album, *Siiiiiiiiilver Surffffeeeeer Intermission* still had almost 1.9M streams, showing an extremely balanced performance for the album.

The album garnered over 25K album sales, which ranked 5th for the week in that category.

**The Rest Of The Chart**

*Traveller* by Chris Stapleton is second on the weekly chart with over 73,000 album project units. In a solid week for new titles, other top new releases were *Lukas Graham* by Lukas Graham, debuting at #3, *Twenty88* by Twenty88 at #4 and *Weezer (The White Album)*, by Weezer at #6.
