Morgan Wallen departed the company’s management operations — which wound down at the end of last year — for his longtime agent Austin Neal, but he continues to put points on the board for Big Loud’s label. His collaboration with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, while Wallen’s “Love Somebody” debuted at No. 1 on the same chart. He also took home entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards and his third country artist of the year at the Billboard Music Awards, tying him with Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift for most category wins. Big Loud singer-songwriter ERNEST, a co-writer on “I Had Some Help,” received two Academy of Country Music Award nominations and released his love letter to Music City’s creative community with the album Nashville, Tennessee. Big Loud also teamed with Miranda Lambert for the launch of label Big Loud Texas, while Big Loud Rock expanded its Los Angeles team. Says Wiseman: “Love that some of our Big Loud dreams and schemes are coming together.”

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time closed out 2023 as the most popular album of the year in the U.S., according to music data tracking firm Luminate. The album’s lead single, “Last Night,” was the year’s most-streamed song by on-demand audio streams, while Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” was the most-heard song on the radio. Total music consumption in the U.S. – as measured in equivalent album units – increased by 12.6% in 2023. (View the U.S. 2023 Luminate Year-End Music Report.)

But first, the fine print:

Equivalent album units – for album titles and chart rankings cited below (but not industry volume numbers) – comprise traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album, or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. Album titles and album chart rankings by equivalent album units do not include user-generated content (UGC) streams, but UGC streams are included in Luminate’s industry volume numbers. (UGC streams are not factored into any of Billboard’s weekly charts.)

For the sake of clarity, equivalent album units do not include listening to music on broadcast radio or digital radio broadcasts. All numbers cited in this story are rounded, and reflect U.S. consumption only.

Luminate’s equivalent album unit totals include SEA and TEA for an album’s songs registered before an album’s release, but during the tracking period of Dec. 30, 2022, through Dec. 28, 2023.

Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991 when the company was known as SoundScan. Luminate’s sales, streaming and airplay data is used to compile Billboard’s weekly charts. Luminate’s 2023 tracking year ran from Dec. 30, 2022, through Dec. 28, 2023.

Luminate is an independently operated company and a subsidiary of PME TopCo, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge. Billboard is an independently operated company owned by PME Holdings, a subsidiary of PME TopCo.

Highlights from Luminate’s 2023 year-end data:

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time was Luminate’s top album of 2023. It’s the second time Wallen has led the year-end list. He also was tops in 2021 with Dangerous: The Double Album.
On Luminate’s 2023 U.S. year-end top 10 most popular albums ranking, Taylor Swift has five of the top 10 titles – a single-year Luminate-era record.
Total U.S. album consumption increased by 12.6% in 2023.
R&B/hip-hop continues to hold firm as the top U.S. core genre by total album consumption; the world music genre – inclusive of the Korean pop (K-pop) genre – had the largest percentage gain year-over-year.
Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” tallied 1.015 billion U.S. on-demand audio streams in 2023 — the most U.S. on-demand audio streams a song has earned in a calendar year. It is only the second song ever to exceed 1 billion on-demand audio streams in a calendar year.
Yearly U.S. on-demand audio streams surpassed 1 trillion for the second time.
27% of all on-demand audio streams in the U.S. in 2023 were R&B/hip-hop songs, the largest share of any core genre.
Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is the first vinyl album in Luminate history to sell 1 million copies in a calendar year in the U.S.
Swift sold more albums in 2023 than any other act, accounting for 6% of all albums sold, industry-wide.
The top 10-selling CD albums of 2023 were all by Swift or K-pop acts.
Total U.S. album sales grew 5.2% in 2023 – just the second year that album sales grew in the last 10 years.
U.S. vinyl album sales outsold CDs for the third year in a row. 2023 marked the 18th consecutive year vinyl album sales grew in the U.S., and the largest year for vinyl album sales since Luminate began tracking data in 1991.
47.1% of all albums sold in 2023 in the U.S. – across all configurations, physical & digital combined – were vinyl LPs. 57% of all physical albums sold were vinyl.
Total U.S. album sales for the year (physical and digital download purchases combined) grew by 5.2%.
Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) sold 1.975 million in traditional album sales in the U.S. in 2023 – the biggest-selling album of any year since 2015.

One Thing at a Time debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated March 18, 2023, and spent 16 nonconsecutive weeks atop the tally. That marked the most weeks at No. 1 for any album since Adele’s blockbuster 21 spent 24 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2011-12. One Thing at a Time is the second Wallen album to be named Luminate’s year-end No. 1 album, after his previous release, Dangerous: The Double Album, in 2021. Wallen is the first artist to have Luminate’s year-end No. 1 album twice in a three-year span since Drake led the year-end ranking in 2018 (with Scorpion) and in 2016 (with Views).

Nearly all of One Thing at a Time’s units earned in 2023 were powered by on-demand streams of its 36 songs. Its collected tracks generated 6.657 billion on-demand streams in the U.S., equaling 92.5% of the album’s total activity for the year (or, 4.962 million SEA units of its total 5.362 million units). One Thing at a Time was also the most-streamed album of 2023.

Joey Moi Is Top Billboard Hot 100 Producer of 2023

bigloudguest — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:07:57 +0000

Joey Moi has already broken several chart records in his career, but he unlocks another first, by finishing 2023 as Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 Producer of the year.

Thanks to his work on Morgan Wallen’s hugely successful LP One Thing at a Time, he tops the year-end ranking for the first time in his career. Moi tallied 40 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 as a producer during the 2023 chart eligibility period (Nov. 19, 2022-Oct. 21, 2023), including Wallen’s 16-week leader “Last Night.”

No. 76, Morgan Wallen, “Outlook”

This is the fourth straight year that Moi has finished the year as a top 10 Hot 100 Producer. Last year, he finished at No. 3, in 2021 he finished at No. 2, and in 2020 he finished at No. 6. His finishes are mostly thanks to his work with Wallen, but he was also aided by his work with HARDY, Jake Owen and Chris Lane.

Just below Moi on the 2023 Hot 100 Producers ranking, Taylor Swift finishes at No. 2, thanks to 43 production credits on the Hot 100 during the eligibility period — largely from her 2022 studio LP Midnights and her 2023 re-recorded set Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Of those 43 entries, 12 ranked in the top 10 and one hit No. 1: “Anti-Hero” for eight weeks. Her 2019 track “Cruel Summer,” which re-entered the chart in June, topped the chart for the first time on Oct. 28, one week after the eligibility period ended; its chart run from June onward did, however, contribute to her point totals. Swift also finishes the year as the Top Artist and No. 1 Hot 100 Songwriter.

Swift’s collaborator Jack Antonoff finishes the year as the No. 3 Hot 100 Producer, thanks to his production work on 20 songs during the eligibility period, all by Swift. Twelve of those hits reached the top 10.

Rounding out the top five Hot 100 Producers of 2023 ranking, Metro Boomin finishes at No. 4, thanks to 32 production credits on the Hot 100 during the eligibility period, including a pair of top 10s: “Creepin’” with The Weeknd and 21 Savage (No. 3 peak in February) and “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” with Future and Chris Brown (No. 8 peak in December).

Zach Bryan finishes at No. 5, thanks to his production work on 22 Hot 100-charting songs (all by him), including his first Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, in September.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Nov. 19, 2022, through Oct. 21, 2023. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the November-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
