This is tough stuff.
The soundtrack to movie powerhouse “Barbie” did not arrive at number 1 this week, according to hitsdailydouble.com.
“Barbie” finished second, coming in behind a Korean KPop girl group called New Jeans. Their album is inelegantly titled “2nd EP Get Up.”
The “Barbie” soundtrack has spawned a lot of singles on the iTumes Top 100, but so far none have caught on in a big way. The only one close to a hit is Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night,” which was released on May 27th and has been in and out of the top 10.
Meantime, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj have tracks that are floating around the charts but not breaking through big time. Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” had a brief boost but has fallen to number 70.
