AceShowbiz - Meek Mill continues dominating the charts. The rapper's latest album "Dreams Worth More Than Money", which last week debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200, is spending a second week atop the list.

This is Billboard 200's first chart impacted by the new global release day. Major albums which used to be released on Tuesday will now come on Friday. Due to the change, Nielsen Music's sales tracking week has been shifted from the traditional Monday through Sunday to Friday through Thursday.

Meek's "DWMTM" earns its second week on the new chart with 289,000 equivalent album units in the 11-day frame ending on July 9. Those include 246,000 units from the previous week and 61,000 units collected between July 6 and July 9.

Trailing behind him is Taylor Swift, whose "1989" jumps from No. 3 to No. 2 with additional 70,000 units. Miguel's "Wildheart" follows at No. 3, slipping from last week's No. 2, with 60,000. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran's "X" stays at No. 4 with 58,000.

At No. 6, Sam Hunt's "Montevallo" rises from No. 8 to No. 5 with 44,000. Former first placers James Taylor's "Before This World" and Breaking Benjamin's "Dark Before Dawn" fall one rung to No. 6 and 7 with 40,000 and 39,000 respectively.

Closing out the top 10 are the "Magic Mike XXL" soundtrack that climbs two slots to No. 8 with nearly 39,000, X Ambassadors' "VHS" which dips from No. 7 to No. 9 with 37,000 and Maroon 5's "V" that sits at No. 10 with 36,000.
