All three songs from the new Drake EP, “Scary Hours 2,” punched in at the top of this week’s Rolling Stone songs chart, followed by the new single from Bruno Mars’ and Anderson .Paak’s supergroup, Silk Sonic in the fourth spot.

All that action coming from newly released song helped make up for the lack of it on the album chart, where new entries are fewer and country star Morgan Wallen’s smash double-album rules the roots for a ninth consecutive week.
