There hasn’t been much change on the charts in the last two weeks. Jason Derulo, John Legend and Pharrell Williams are pretty much the dominating forces on the charts right now.
Find out the latest chart positions of your favorite R&B singer’s album and singles below in this week’s edition of Chart Check.
Dates range from: July 10 – July 17 (Billboard)
