The Weeknd remains at the top spot this week, with Bruno Mars, J. Cole, Drake, and Post Malone joining him in the top 10. Run The Jewels climbs 103 spots in the last week, marking an incredible jump that only those two could probably pull off. Rihanna, Rae Sremmurd, the Suicide Squad soundtrack, and Travis Scott all land in the teens, marking a rock-solid week for rap artists on the Billboard 200.
