»Hamilton« debuts on a Billboard ranking this week that it’s never reached before. The cast recording opens at No. 44 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, which lists the most-streamed full lengths and EPs throughout America.
[…] The fact that a Broadway cast recording is one of the 50 most streamed albums in America is noteworthy, as such a performance by a theatrical release is extremely rare.
Only four projects debut on the Top Streaming Albums chart this week, and »Hamilton« is the lowest-ranking of the bunch. Miranda’s masterpiece is beaten by Central Cee’s »Can’t Rush Greatness«, Teddy Swim’s »I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Part 2«, and Kane Brown’s »The High Road«. As it lands on the Top Streaming Albums ranking, »Hamilton« is also performing exceptionally well on the three other Billboard tallies it reaches.
The set is steady at No. 1 on the Cast Albums ranking, where it has now spent 415 of its 488 weeks on the list at No. 1.
