For the first time this year, an album has spent three consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart.

As expected, Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” (Republic) is a streaming juggernaut — with totals of 365 million, 221 million and now 172 million streams in its three weeks out — and despite a 25 percent dip in overall activity from its second week numbers, it remains No. 1.

The album by Malone — “a rock singer whose cadences come from hip-hop, a pop songwriter who marries brightness with sleaze,” as The New York Times pop music critic Jon Caramanica wrote — added another 16,000 in album sales to its streams for a total of 149,000 units, according to Nielsen, which combines digital downloads, streams and sales into one figure.

For the second straight week, Malone’s album topped those by artists whose commercial strength lies not in streaming but in the more throwback formats (CDs, vinyl) still preferred by many country and rock fans.
