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.
Hayley Williams’ Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party vaults 18-2 on Top Album Sales following its wide release on physical formats during the tracking week. It sold a little over 22,000 copies — the best sales week ever for a solo project from Williams. ROSALÍA also claims her best sales week, with the No. 3 debut of LUX, selling 19,000 copies.
Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Life of a Showgirl is a non-mover at No. 4 with nearly 19,000 (up 7%) while Stray Kids’ former leader KARMA climbs 7-5 with 13,000 (up 39%). The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack slips 5-6 with nearly 13,000 (down 6%).
The physical release of sombr’s I Barely Know Her propels the album to a No. 7 debut with 11,000 sold. The album was initially released on Aug. 22 as a digital download, and via streaming services.
The new Wings anthology compilation, WINGS, flies in at No. 8 with a little more than 10,000 sold. Tyler, The Creator’s former No. 1 CHROMAKOPIA falls 2-9 with 10,000 (down 75%) and Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is steady at No. 10, with 9,000 sold (up 37%).
