We are only a couple of days from the first day of July, meaning half of the year is gone. With the season heating up, both literally and in music releases, Nielsen Music has released the most-streamed and best-selling songs of the year.

With 507 billion on-demand streams recorded and a rise in overall units moved by 13 percent, Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” are leading the way for the year.

The top-selling album so far in the year of 2019 is the A Star is Born soundtrack with 404,000 copies sold. That album is followed by Jonas Brothers’ Happiness Begins (No. 2 with 374,000) and Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. A Hip-Hop album has yet to crack the top ten. You can check out some of the lists below and be sure to check out more details at Billboard.
