Chart Beat

On the latest Billboard 200 albums chart, Maroon 5 nabbed its second chart-topping album as V debuted atop the list, selling 164,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 7 (according to Nielsen SoundScan). The group last topped the list in 2007 with It Won't Be Soon Before Long.

Following the death of rocker Gustavo Cerati on Sept. 4, digital sales of his hits (as frontman of Argentinian rock band Soda Stereo) have impacted Latin Pop Digital Songs.

Jeezy scores his sixth No. 1 on Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums, while Rae Sremmurd grasps its first top 10 on Hot Rap Songs.

Jeremih's hit nears the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Mary Lambert makes her first visit on her own. Plus, moves for Disclosure, Vance Joy and Big & Rich.

On this week’s Hot 100 chart, Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” climbs to No. 1 in its ninth week on the chart, giving the 20-year-old her first No. 1 single on the chart with her first chart entry. With that achievement, Trainor joins an elite group of female artists that have guided their debut Hot 100 entry to a No. 1 spot on the chart — Madonna, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Adele can’t claim to have had their first Hot 100 hit reach the peak position, but these ladies can brush their shoulders off and tout the accomplishment.
