Top 10 Apple Music — Top Albums (US) — May 6, 2026

Ella Langley's 'Dandelion' blooms at second, her debut album marrying Southern storytelling with alt-country grit to tap a growing appetite for female voices in the genre's resurgence.

Kacey Musgraves' 'Middle of Nowhere' lands at third, a surprise release that leans into psychedelic country and proves her fanbase remains fiercely loyal even without radio singles.

Kehlani's self-titled album sits at fourth, a sleek R&B project that balances vulnerability with pop hooks, showing how mid-tier artists can sustain chart presence through streaming depth.

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', released in 1982, haunts the top five—proof that Apple Music's catalogue enjoys a long tail, likely fueled by Halloween playlists and vinyl nostalgia among younger users.

Morgan Wallen's 'I’m The Problem' drops to sixth after a long reign, but still thunders with country-rock staying power that defies genre gatekeeping.

Don Toliver's 'OCTANE' revs at seventh, a trap-soul spectacle that battles for attention amid older releases, highlighting his strong but fragmented fan base.

Isaiah Rashad's 'IT'S BEEN AWFUL' debuts at eighth just days after release, a confessional rap album that turns personal turmoil into chart real estate.

Asake's 'M$NEY' charges in at ninth, blending Afrobeats with streetwise lyricism to prove the genre's US crossover is no fluke but a sustained movement.

BTS's 'ARIRANG' closes the list at tenth, a Korean-language album that endures through ARMY's streaming dedication, showing K-pop's resilience despite a quieter promotional cycle.
