Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
Elsewhere in the top 10 of Top Album Sales, Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS rises 3-1 for its second week in the lead,ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4 falls to No. 2 in its second week, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving rises 7-4, ENHYPEN’s former No. 1 THE SIN : VANISH climbs 8-6, Stray Kids’ chart-topping DO IT rises 12-8, Taylor Swift’s former leader The Life of a Showgirl vaults 17-9 and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack closes out the top 10 with a 14-10 rise.
