Additionally, the album has secured the 30th spot on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart, marking the group’s 12th top 40-charting effort on this particular tally.

Of these sales, physical copies accounted for 6,500 units, with 5,000 sales coming from CDs and 1,500 from vinyl records. Digital downloads contributed the remaining 500 copies to the overall sales figure.

In contrast, at the top spot on the Top Album Sales chart, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter has climbed two positions to claim its second consecutive week as the best-selling album, with 28,000 copies sold, a significant increase of 37%. The availability of the physical edition of the album (CD and vinyl) across all retailers during the tracking week has undoubtedly contributed to its continued success.

Another notable debut on the Top Album Sales chart is Linkin Park’s first greatest hits album, Papercuts, which enters the chart at No. 2 with 20,500 copies sold. The album’s sales were boosted by its availability in various formats, including eight different vinyl variants, a CD, a cassette, and digital downloads, marking the band’s 11th top 10-charting effort on this particular chart.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s minisode 3: TOMORROW, however, slips from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week on the charts with 19,000 units sold, representing a decline of 82% from its debut week.

Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd has re-entered the Top Album Sales chart at No. 4 with 10,000 copies sold, a staggering increase of 797% driven primarily by the sales of a new vinyl variant in an “festival orange” color.

Maggie Rogers’ Don’t Forget Me makes a strong debut at No. 5 with 10,000 sales, marking the artist’s third top 10-charting effort. The album’s success can be attributed to its availability in eight physical iterations, including two signed editions, as well as digital downloads.

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season experiences a significant surge from 28 to 6 on the Top Album Sales chart, with nearly 10,000 units sold. This surge follows the release of the Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) deluxe edition across four vinyl variants and on CD. Originally released as a digital download and streaming album on June 9, 2023, the deluxe set has evidently resonated with fans.

Mark Knopfler returns to the Top Album Sales chart with his latest studio effort, One Deep River, starting at No. 7 with 8,000 copies sold.
