NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - On the music charts, it is Disney's world, and everyone else is just living in it.
This week, the soundtrack to Disney's Encanto (2021), featuring songs by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, tops the Billboard 200 chart for a seventh time, making it the album with the most number of weeks at No. 1 in nearly a year.
Meanwhile, its song We Don't Talk About Bruno notches its fifth No. 1 on the singles chart.
Encanto's numbers have been slipping, though with little major competition lately, the album has easily remained on top.
In its latest week, the soundtrack had the equivalent of 90,000 sales in the United States, including 115 million streams and 11,000 copies sold as a complete package, according to MRC Data, Billboard's tracking arm.
At its peak, about a month ago, songs from Encanto were drawing about 140 million clicks each week on streaming services.
Encanto sails above albums by rapper Gunna (No. 2) and country singer Morgan Wallen (No. 3), each with about 41,000 equivalent sales.
The Highlights, a hits compilation by Canadian singer The Weeknd released a year ago to capitalise on his performance at the Super Bowl LV halftime show, is No. 4.
Another nearly year-old album, teenage pop singer Olivia Rodrigo's Sour, is in fifth place.
The highest-charting new album is 2 Alive by American rapper Yeat, with guest appearances by Young Thug and Gunna.
It opens at No. 6 with 32,000 sales - barely one-third of the Encanto total - including 45 million streams.
