Following the release of his debut EP “WWE: Walk With Elias,” pro wrestler Elias earns a spot on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart.
The WWE Superstar takes #39 on this week’s edition of the listing, which ranks the top artists that have yet to score a major hit on the song or album charts. The chart accounts for data from factors like album sales, song consumption and social media activity.
As a point of reference, Elias debuts in between Elley Duhe (#38) and AJR (#40) on this week’s listing. Duhe just released a new, high-profile collaboration with Zedd (“Happy Now”), while AJR is nearing the Top 5 at alternative radio with “Burn The House Down.”
Elias outranks key names like Carly Pearce, Keala Settle (of “The Greatest Showman”), Trippie Redd, Dzeko and Karol G.
Despite not arriving until the fourth day of the tracking week, “Walk With Elias” also arrives on some key Billboard charts. It notably takes #100 on the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks albums based on pure US sales. “Walk With Elias” starts just below Camila Cabello’s acclaimed album “Camila,” which re-enters the chart at #99.
It meanwhile starts at #20 on the Top Digital Albums chart.
