Posted September 15, 20168 yr Travis Scott's second album debuts at #1, a year after his debut Rodeo entered and peaked at #3. Last time he sold 85K units and 70K proper sales; this time he increased units to 88K but decreased sales to 53K. At #2 (and #1 on proper sales), A Day To Remember earn their highest-charting album by far, their previous best being a #11 album in 2010. Glory drops from #3 to #12, still better than Britney Jean's second week drop from #4 to #22. It drops from #3 to #9 on the sales chart. And certainly better than Ingrid Michaelson, who plummets from #19 to #184 in her second week. Poor her. 01 NE 01 Travis Scott, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight (88,000 (53,000 | 33,000 SEA | 2,000 TEA)) 02 NE 01 A Day To Remember, Bad Vibrations (67,000 (62,000 | 5,000 SEA/TEA)) 03 04 19 Drake, Views (60,000 (42,000 SEA)) 04 06 05 Soundtrack, Suicide Squad: The Album (55,000) 05 02 02 Florida Georgia Line, Dig Your Roots (42,000) 06 01 02 Barbra Streisand, Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway (41,000) 07 10 69 twenty one pilots, Blurryface (30,000) 08 09 33 Rihanna, ANTI (30,000) 09 07 20 Beyoncé, Lemonade (30,000) 10 05 03 Frank Ocean, Blonde (29,000) 11 14 16 Ariana Grande, Dangerous Woman 12 03 02 Britney Spears, Glory 13 22 32 Sia, This Is Acting 14 11 42 Adele, 25 15 15 50 Original Broadway Cast Recording, Hamilton: An American Musical 16 13 06 DJ Khaled, Major Key 17 NE 01 Isaiah Rashad, The Sun's Tirade 18 37 16 Blake Shelton, If I'm Honest 19 17 52 Chris Stapleton, Traveller 20 24 50 Bryson Tiller, T R A P S O U L 21 21 23 Kanye West, The Life Of Pablo 22 18 05 DJ Snake, Encore 23 16 03 Tory Lanez, I Told You 24 23 40 Coldplay, A Head Full Of Dreams 25 26 32 Charlie Puth, Nine Track Mind 26 31 23 Lukas Graham, Lukas Graham 27 NE 01 Various Artists, Epic Lit 28 29 32 Kevin Gates, Islah 29 25 05 Various Artists, NOW 59 30 30 17 Chance The Rapper, Coloring Book 31 08 02 Young Thug, Jeffery 32 35 04 Various Artists, The RCA-List 33 33 43 Justin Bieber, Purpose 34 27 17 Meghan Trainor, Thank You 35 36 54 Halsey, Badlands 36 38 108 twenty one pilots, Vessel 37 40 15 Flume, Skin 38 32 40 G-Eazy, When It's Dark Out 39 41 98 Sam Hunt, Montevallo 40 42 54 The Weeknd, Beauty Behind The Madness 41 90 60 Kelsea Ballerini, The First Time 42 43 15 Fifth Harmony, 7/27 43 49 06 D.R.A.M., Google Play: Live At The Milk Jamroom (EP) 44 55 18 Cole Swindell, You Should Be Here 45 52 10 Blink-182, California 46 47 22 Kiiara, Low Kii Savage (EP) 47 NE 01 Angel Olsen, My Woman 48 51 56 Melanie Martinez, Cry Baby 49 48 18 Keith Urban, Ripcord 50 156 65 Fleetwood Mac, The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac 51 126 12 Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Getaway 52 45 60 Future, DS2 53 46 04 Rae Sremmurd, Sremmlife 2 54 72 63 X Ambassadors, VHS 55 54 50 Thomas Rhett, Tangled Up 56 RE 05 Lynyrd Skynyrd, All Time Greatest Hits 57 71 284 Eminem, The Eminem Show 58 60 92 J.

September 15, 20168 yr Author Travis Scott Scores First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight' Travis Scott claims his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his new effort, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, debuts straight in at No. 1. The set, which was released on Sept. 2 through Grand Hustle/Epic Records, earned 88,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Sept. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 53,000 were in traditional album sales. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Sept. 24-dated chart (where Scott bows at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is exclusively available through the Apple Music streaming service, and the iTunes Store for purchase. It’s the fifth album to hit No. 1 in 2016 initially as an Apple and iTunes exclusive, following Frank Ocean’s Blonde, DJ Khaled’s Major Key, Drake’s Views and Future’s Evol. (Scott, Khaled and Future also share the same label: Epic Records.) The songs on Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight generated 50.2 million streams during its first tracking week, equating to 33,000 SEA units. The remainder of the album’s total units for the week were generated by track equivalent albums (TEA) -- just 2,000 units. The TEA number is low because only one of the album’s songs is available or purchase a la carte from the album. Scott’s new album follows his debut effort, Rodeo, which peaked at No. 3 on the tally in 2015. Rodeo launched with 85,000 units (70,000 in pure album sales). Rock band A Day to Remember bows at a career-high peak of No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with Bad Vibrations, as the set starts with 67,000 units (62,000 in pure album sales). It’s also the best-selling album of the week, and debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart. A Day to Remember previously reached No. 37 with Common Courtesy (on the chart dated Jan. 11, 2014), No. 11 with What Separates Me From You (Dec. 4, 2010) and No. 21 with Homesick (Feb. 21, 2009). Bad Vibrations also enters at No. 1 on the Independent Albums chart -- the group’s third leader on the tally. It previously led the list with What Separates Me From You and Homesick. Drake’s Views rises one rung to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 60,000 units (down 15 percent) -- still driven mostly by SEA units (42,000). The Suicide Squad soundtrack climbs 6-4 with 55,000 units (down 12 percent). Florida Georgia Line’s Dig Your Roots dips 2-5 in its second week, with 42,000 units (down 71 percent), while last week’s No. 1 album, Barbra Streisand’s Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, falls to No. 6 with 41,000 units (down 73 percent). Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface rises 10-7 with just more than 30,000 units (down 1 percent), Rihanna’s Anti moves 9-8 with 30,000 units (down 6 percent) and Beyonce’s Lemonade falls 7-9 with nearly 30,000 units (down 21 percent). Ocean’s Blonde rounds out the top 10, descending 5-10 with 29,000 units (down 58 percent).
