Patti LuPone’s New Venture Garners Billboard Success
Patti LuPone, primarily celebrated for her illustrious career on Broadway, is extending her influence beyond the stage with a musical triumph. Currently featured in the new Disney+ series ‘Agatha All Along,’ a spin-off of Marvel’s ‘WandaVision,’ LuPone, along with her collaborators, has achieved a milestone in the realm of music charts.
The tune “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” debuted on the Digital Song Sales chart, securing the No. 22 position among the top-selling tracks across the United States. This marks LuPone’s significant entry into the Billboard song charts, a new achievement for the esteemed actress and singer who has previously been recognized in album-specific categories.
According to data from Luminate, the song witnessed a remarkable sales increase, selling close to 2,300 copies nationwide, a 281% rise from the preceding week when it was purchased by 600 individuals. LuPone shares this success with co-stars Kathryn Hahn, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Debra Jo Rupp, and the ensemble cast of ‘Agatha All Along.’
“The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” achieved the third-highest debut on the Digital Song Sales chart for the week. It places behind Alex Warren’s “Burning Down” at No. 16, and Kyle Coulahan’s “Still Proud to Be an American” at No. 17. However, it outperformed Linkin Park’s “Heavy is the Crown,” which debuts at No. 24.
