The new table of Billboard 200 albums has an unusual amount of fresh blood, with beginnings that represent five of the 10 best titles – starting with “Jackboys 2”, Travis Scott and its collective Jackboys, managing a robust start to first place, followed by Justin Bieber’s second place in more than four years, “Swag”, in second place.
The Travis Scott project came with 232,000 equivalent album units, Bieber outgoing 163,000 units in n ° 2.. The other Top 10 were the “Let God Out” of the reconstituted rap act, with 118,000 units; The K-Pop group “This is for” at No. 6, with 80,000 units; And “beloved” from Giveon to No. 8, with 44,000.
TOP 10 data comes from Lumiate, as reported the first time by Display panel.
The two main albums of the week have the impression of attaching themselves with asterisks and footnote to explain the extremely different paths that they took at the top (or near the summit) – a heavily weighted to sales, and the other dependent almost exclusively of streaming.
“Jackboys 2”, the second version of the Cactus Jack label, includes songs from Scott and its rap collective – made up of Don Toliver members, Sheck Wes, Chase B, Sofaygo, Wallie The Sensei and Luxury Tax 50. The album’s success was largely focused on sales, because its 232,000 equivalent albums were made up of 160,000 copies sold as 160,000 copies sold Sales of pure albums, thanks to a part of a large number of variants of variants. Billboard reports that the album was published both as EP of seven songs (including five different vinyl editions for sale on the artist’s online store) and an extended edition of 17 tracks (which had five variants that were clean, including a CD, in addition to the usual digital version) – before a version of 20 songs was taken at the end of the week. While “Jackboys 2” was a sales monster, it was only the fourth largest streaming album for the week, with 94.86 million on demand flows.
(An additional asterisk: the “Jackboys 2” counts would have been even more important if it had been sold on Friday, like almost all the other versions, but it was released on Sunday, so only five days of consumption were measured for the week.)
Meanwhile, Bieber’s “Swag” bowed with 163,000 equivalent album units – but almost none of those that come from real album sales, because it was a late surprise outing without a physical product on the market, and no vinyl should be released for months. Only 6,000 of these 163,000 “swag” units were made up of sales, all digital downloads. However, Bieber still made its powerful debut, thanks to its biggest streaming week, with 198.77 million official flows on demand, led by the song “Daisies” becoming the best song on streamers like Spotify and Apple Music. Perhaps no need to say that with all this consumption, “Swag” landed at No. 1 on the streaming board.
Why are you, Morgan Wallen? The apparently unstoppable series of “I am the problem” at the top of Billboard 200 has finally ended – for the moment. After eight weeks at No. 1, his blockbuster fell at n ° 3 during his ninth week. But at 147,000 units for the week, he only suffered a decrease of 3% compared to the previous week, marking him as a probable bet to return to n ° 1 soon.
(Wallen album will probably not come back to first place RIGHT Away, however, as Tyler, the Monday creator’s version should assume this slot machine, even with only four days of activity in reserve.)
Among the selected, the soundtrack of “Kpop Demon Hunters” was postponed to n ° 4, even if it is still up of consumption, recording an increase of 10,000 units to 85,000 for the week.
Ateez has reintegrated the graph to n ° 7 with “Golden Hour: Part 3” after the release of a luxury edition, accumulating 79,000 album units equivalent for the week and giving K-Pop three places in the top 10.
Wallen’s previous blockbuster, “One Thing the Time”, closed Wallen’s blockbuster, “One Thing the Time”, and “SOS” from Sza to No. 10.
