The Rolling Stone Artists 500 chart ranks the most-streamed artists of the week in the United States, taking into account audio streams across an artist’s entire catalog during the tracking period. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The Artists 500 is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ended the previous Thursday.

Also making a strong showing is country singer Morgan Wallen, who enters the top 10 this week as his new single “7 Summers” makes a massive debut at Number Three on the RS 100. Young Dolph, whose new mixtape Rich Slave sits in the top five of the albums chart, jumps from Number 198 into he top 20, with 44.8 million streams overall. Miley Cyrus, who ranked 171st last week, jumps up to Number 51 as her new single “Midnight Sky” takes eighth on the songs chart.
