This week, Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding slips back down to No. 2 in another instance of the trend that the album has been displaying on the charts since its debut. Periodically occupying the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Hollywood's Bleeding has been continuously bumped for the top slot as new high-ticket efforts claim the place in their debut weeks only for the project to return to No. 1 a week later.
