Machine Gun Kelly’s “Mainstream Sellout” hit the top of the Billboard 200 Album chart, making it the first No. 1 rock album in more than a year.  Mainstream Sellout is Machine Gun Kelly’s second straight album to debut at No. 1, following 2020’s “Ticket to My Downfall.”  The last rock album to hit the No. 1 spot was AC/DC’s “Power Up” in December 2020.

Mainstream Sellout was one of two albums to debut in the top 10 this week, the other being Daddy Yankee’s “Legendaddy,” which came in at No. 8, and is being described as Daddy Yankee’s ‘farewell album.’  Billboard reports that “Legendaddy” is the highest-charting Latin album since December 2020.

The Nos. 2, 3 and 4 spots stayed the same from last week: Lil Durk, the “Encanto” soundtrack, and Morgan Wallen. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour” re-entered the top 10 at No. 5, while The Weeknd’s greatest hits album and Drake stand at Nos. 6-7. Doja Cat and Gunna rounded out the top 10.

The 64th annual Grammy Awards were held on Sunday, hosted by Trevor Noah and airing live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on CBS.

Among the night’s big winners were Jon Batiste, who took home Album of the Year for We Are. Olivia Rodrigo took home Best Pop Vocal Album for Sour, and also won Best New Artist.  Silk Sonic, comprised of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, won Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Leave the Door Open.

Doja Cat and SZA won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their hit song “Kiss Me More,” while Jazmine Sullivan won Best R&B Album for Heaux Tales and Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “Family Ties” won Best Rap Performance. Chris Stapleton also won Best Country album for Starting Over. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed viewers at home in a pre-recorded video, where he spoke about Russia invading his country and the ongoing conflict, saying in part: “Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded. In hospitals. Even to those who can’t heart them. But the music will break through anyway. We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. Our land, we are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs. The dead silence. Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today. To tell our story. Tell the truth about this war on your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can. Any, but not silence, and peace will come.”

Respects were paid to the late Taylor Hawkins, drummer of the Foo Fighters, who died on March 25. Foo Fighters were supposed to perform during the show, but canceled because of Hawkins’ recent death. A video was shown highlighting Hawkins’ career before the Grammys launched into its annual In Memorial segment, which paid homage to all of those in the music industry who have died over the past year, including Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, DMX, Biz Markie, Stephen Sondheim and more.
