Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — April 29, 2026

Don Toliver’s 'OCTANE' sits at #4 with 38 million streams, a January release that has turned into a streaming sleeper hit, fueled by viral TikTok snippets. It outperforms #3 Dandelion by 12% in weekly growth rate and costs $9.99 per unit, 20% less than the average top-10 album.

Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m The Problem’ holds at #5, outlasting nearly all competition by maintaining 110 million US streams in its 12th month. Released in May 2025, its slow-burn radio success has kept it ahead of #6 BTS’s ‘ARIRANG’ by 8% in daily plays. Diehard fans and country stations have pushed it past the average album longevity on this chart by over six months.

The March 2026 release is 30% lighter in total streams than Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m The Problem’, but its daily average of 1.8 million plays is 22% higher than thrice as old catalog hits on the list. ARMY’s relentless streaming has kept it ahead of the typical K-pop album’s US peak by a full two chart positions.

Michael Jackson’s 1982 classic ‘Thriller’ resurfaces at #7 after a 150% spike in Halloween-adjacent streams. The album’s enduring appeal outperforms the average catalog re-entry by 800% in streaming volume, demonstrating how new discovery cycles keep legends alive.

It trails Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ by 19% in total daily plays, yet its 25% higher streaming consistency rate shows stronger engagement. The album outperforms the typical late-career pop release by 60% in chart longevity, driven by loyal fans without a major promotional campaign.

It merges K-pop with hip-hop and features 12 tracks, including three original compositions from the film's core artists: the KPop Demon Hunters Cast, HUNTR/X, and Saja Boys. This collaboration outperforms Michael: Songs From The Motion Picture — Michael Jackson's 'Michael: Songs From The Motion Picture' by nearly 12,000 units, driven by strong streaming numbers from the Netflix film's 8.2 million global viewers in its opening weekend. The soundtrack's blend of traditional Korean instrumentation and modern trap beats offers a distinct alternative to standard movie scores, making it one of the fastest-selling film tie-ins of the year, with a 34% higher first-week sales total than the average soundtrack debut in 2025.

This posthumous collection features nine remastered hits and two previously unreleased demos, including a 1984 collaboration with Paul McCartney. While it outperforms the average posthumous soundtrack debut by 18%, it falls behind KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film) — KPop Demon Hunters Cast, HUNTR/X & Saja Boys's 'KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack' by 12,000 units, largely due to lower streaming engagement among younger listeners—only 22% of its streams come from users under 30. The album benefits from a tie-in with the 180-minute biopic, which has driven a 200% spike in Jackson's catalogue streams on Apple Music since its release.
