WILD is the fourth No. 1 album by an all-woman group this decade. It follows TWICE’s With YOU-th (2025), NewJeans’ 2nd EP ‘Get Up’ (2023) and BLACKPINK’s Born Pink (2022). Before Born Pink, the last No. 1 album by an all-woman group was Danity Kane’s Welcome to the Dollhouse in 2008.
WILD also lands KATSEYE its biggest week by equivalent album units earned, and by pure album sales (145,000). Further, WILD tallies the largest week by units for an all-woman group since the Billboard 200 began ranking by units in December 2015. WILD additionally has the largest pure album sales week for an all-woman group in more than three years, since TWICE’s Ready To Be: 12th Mini Album debuted with 146,000 (March 25, 2023).
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Phoebe Bridgers gets her first top 10 as Lost Weekend bows at No. 2 with both her biggest week ever by units and by pure album sales.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 29, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of WILD’s 170,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 145,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 24,500 (equaling 26.95 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 19 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise about 500.
WILD’s album sales were largely driven by its availability across more than 30 CD and vinyl variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, with some items randomized, including signed editions; some editions also contain bonus tracks).
WILD was preceded by a pair of Billboard Hot 100-charting cuts: “Pinky Up” (No. 28 peak in April) and “Animal” (No. 24 on the Aug. 8 chart).
Phoebe Bridgers collects her first top 10-charted set as Lost Weekend debuts at No. 2 with 118,000 equivalent album units earned — the singer-songwriter’s best week ever by units. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 77,000 (her largest sales week; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 41,000 (equaling 41.6 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, it debuts at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. First-week album sales were bolstered by the set’s availability across 16 physical editions (CD, vinyl and cassette).
Lost Weekend is Bridgers’ first solo studio album since 2020’s Punisher. In the years since, she formed the supergroup Boygenius with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. The trio released The Record in 2023, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
The Nos. 3-9 titles on the latest Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT falls 1-3 in its second week, earning 82,000 equivalent album units (down 78%). Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love dips 3-4 (70,000, down 3%); Ella Langley’s Dandelion descends 4-5 (nearly 70,000, down 1%); Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem shifts down 5-6 (67,000, down 5%); Ariana Grande’s Petal slides 2-8 (51,000, down 38%); and Drake’s ICEMAN is a non-mover at No. 9 (43,000, down 5%).
Plus, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving returns to the top 10, up one slot to No. 10 with 41,000 units (up 11%).
