Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving reaches a new peak on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 10) vaulting 14-4, as holiday titles flee the region post-Christmas. The latest chart reflects the tracking week of Dec. 26 through Jan. 1.
The Art of Loving surpasses its No. 5 peak achieved in November.
All charts dated Jan. 10 will be posted in full on Billboard’s website on Jan. 6.
The Art of Loving debuted at No. 8 on the chart dated Oct. 11, climbed to its previous No. 5 high on the Nov. 22 chart, and spent its first 11 chart weeks in the top 10. It only got pushed out of the top 10 in the last two weeks due to the avalanche of returning catalog holiday albums that typically crowd the top 10 during the final weeks of the holiday season. Last week (Jan. 3 chart, reflecting the Dec. 19-25 tracking frame), there were a record seven holiday albums in the top 10.
Now, on the latest chart, with all holiday albums departing the top 10, the region readjusts to normal business, and many non-holiday albums jump back up the list, including The Art of Loving.
Concurrent with The Art of Loving’s climb on the Billboard 200, its lead single “Man I Need” spends its second week at No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart (dated Jan. 10). It also holds at its No. 5 high on Adult Pop Airplay for a third week and climbs 14-13 to a new peak on Adult Contemporary, while also ranking in the top 25 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay (21-18, a new peak), Adult R&B Airplay (up a spot to a new peak, No. 22), Rhythmic Airplay (holding at its No. 22 high).
