Why Don't We by Zack Caspary // Atlantic Records

Why Don’t We’s debut album “8 Letters” debuts at #9 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart.

The title track concurrently earns a spot on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100.

The song starts at #15 on the chart, which ranks the Top 25 songs that have yet to appear on the actual Hot 100.

Like the main Hot 100, the listing positions songs based on combined activity from sales, streams and radio airplay.

While “8 Letters” is receiving some attention at pop radio, this week’s position is due primarily to sales and streaming.
