Dua Lipa flies to #4 on the strength of her Future Nostalgia album, the top streamed record by a female artist this year. She’s up six spots versus her rank on this chart in 2019. Halsey and Lady Gaga repeat at ranks #5 and #6, stabilized by the release of new albums MANIC and Chromatica respectively.
Nicki Minaj climbs to #7, up seven spots from last year’s #14. She’s the top female rapper on the chart this year.
Rihanna repeats her rank of #8, while Camila Cabello slides to #9 (from last year’s #4) and Selena Gomez ticks up two spots to close out the top 10 at #10.
Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion are the top debuts, appearing at #11 and #15 respectively. Neither made the chart in 2019. Consequently, four rappers make the top 20; only two did in 2019.
