‘Encanto’ Enchants Billboard 200 Albums Chart With Eighth Week at No. 1

By Keith Caulfield | 03/06/2022

 

The Encanto soundtrack enchants in the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 chart (dated March 12) for an eighth nonconsecutive week. The set earned 80,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending March 3 (down 11%), according to MRC Data.

 

In the last five years, only three albums have spent at least eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200: Encanto, Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album (10 weeks), and Taylor Swift’s Folklore (eight weeks).

 

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 MRC Data. 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 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

 

Of Encanto’s 80,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 68,000 (down 11%, equaling 101.16 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 10,000 (down 16%) and TEA units comprise 2,000 (down 10%).

 

Kodak Black collects his fourth top five-charting album on the Billboard 200, as his latest release, Back for Everything, bows at No. 2 with 60,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 57,000 (equaling 84 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

 

The new album was preceded by the hit single “Super Gremlin,” which has reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Jan. 29) — the rapper’s highest charting song unaccompanied by another act. (He’s charted higher only with “ZEZE,” featuring Travis Scott and Offset, which peaked at No. 2 in 2018.)

 

Kodak Black notched his first Billboard 200 No. 1 with his prior top 10, Dying to Live, in 2018.

 

Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 Dangerous: The Double Album is stationary at No. 3, with 42,000 equivalent album units (up 3%).

 

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 59 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 — surpassing Taylor Swift’s Fearless for the most weeks in the top 10 among country albums in the chart’s history. Fearless clocked 58 weeks in the region in 2008-10.

 

Among all albums released since 2000, Dangerous ties Swift’s 1989 for the second-most weeks in the top 10, trailing only Adele’s 21, which captured 84 weeks in the region.

 

Gunna’s former No. 1 DS4Ever falls from No. 2 to No. 4 with 38,000 equivalent album units (down 9%), The Weeknd’s compilation The Highlights dips 4-5 with 34,000 units (though up 3%), Drake’s chart-topping Certified Lover Boy rises 7-6 with 32,000 units (down less than 1%) and Olivia Rodrigo’s former leader Sour falls 5-7 with just over 31,000 units (down 2%).

 

Tears for Fears hit the top 10 for the first time in more than 30 years, as the act’s new album, The Tipping Point, debuts at No. 8 — the duo’s highest debut ever. The set is Tears for Fears’ first new studio album since 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, and first top 10 since 1989’s The Seeds of Love peaked at No. 8. In total, The Tipping Point is the third top 10 album on the Billboard 200 for the duo (Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith) — the act also spent five weeks at No. 1 in 1985 with Songs From the Big Chair.

 

The new album’s title track peaked at No. 17 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart in January. The Tipping Point was ushered in with performances by Tears for Fears on ABC’s Good Morning America (Feb. 22), CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (Feb. 24) and a feature on CBS’ Sunday Morning (Feb. 20).

 

The Tipping Point launches with 31,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 29,000 (making it the top-selling album of the week); SEA units comprise 1,500 (equaling 2.04 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise about 500 units.

 

Avril Lavigne is back in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 for the first time since 2013, as her new album, Love Sux, bows at No. 9.

 

Love Sux is Lavigne’s sixth top 10 effort overall on the Billboard 200, and all seven of her chart entries have reached the top 15. 2022 marks Lavigne’s 20th anniversary on the chart, as well — her debut effort, Let Go, entered the list dated June 22, 2002, at No. 8, and peaked at No. 2 on the Sept. 28, 2002, chart. She boasts two No. 1s: Under the Skin (2004) and The Best Damn Thing (2007). She had last appeared in the top 10 with her No. 5-peaking eponymous set in 2013.

 

Love Sux starts with 30,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 19,000; SEA units comprise nearly 10,000 (equaling 12.61 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

 

Tears for Fears’ ‘The Tipping Point’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart

By Keith Caulfield | 03/07/2022

 

Tears for Fears’ The Tipping Point debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated March 12), selling 29,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending March 3, according to MRC Data. It’s the best sales week for the duo (Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith) since MRC Data began tracking sales in 1991.

 

The Tipping Point is Tears for Fears’ first new studio album since 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.

 

Of The Tipping Point’s 29,000 copies sold in the week end March 3, physical sales comprise 21,500 (12,000 on CD; 9,500 on vinyl and a negligible sum on cassette) and digital sales comprise 7,500. Sales were bolstered by the availability of multiple physical format variants of the album, including a Target-exclusive CD and vinyl LP (each with two bonus tracks).

 

The Tipping Point was ushered in with performances by Tears for Fears on ABC’s Good Morning America (Feb. 22) and CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (Feb. 24), a feature on CBS’ Sunday Morning (Feb. 20) and a profile on NPR’s Weekend Edition (Feb. 26).

 

The Tipping Point is the first top 10 for Tears for Fears on the 30-year-old Top Album Sales chart. It also launches at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking the third top 10 for the band on that older list, following The Seeds of Love (No. 8 in 1989) and Songs From the Big Chair (No. 1 for five weeks in 1985).

 

The Tipping Point also debuts at No. 1 on Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Current Album Sales.

 

Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums rank the week’s most popular alternative and rock releases, respectively, by equivalent album units. Top Current Album Sales ranks the week’s biggest selling current albums (not including catalog – older – releases).

 

Avril Lavigne’s new Love Sux debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales with 19,000 copies sold, marking the seventh consecutive top five-charting effort for Lavigne (the entirety of her charting releases). Love Sux is her highest charting title on Top Album Sales since The Best Damn Thing spent two weeks at No. 1 in 2007. (She also previously led the list for one week with Under My Skin in 2004.)

 

Sturgill Simpson’s The Ballad of Dood & Juanita re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 3 following its release on vinyl LP on Feb. 25. The album was previously only available to purchase on CD and as a digital download.

 

In total, the album sold 14,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending March 3 (up 8,927%), with a little over 13,000 on vinyl LP. It also debuts at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart – Simpson’s fourth leader. Ballad was issued on three vinyl variants – a standard black edition, a brown colored pressing exclusive to Vinyl Me Please and a clear vinyl edition (dubbed “natural” colored) with expanded packaging available via independent record stores.

 

The Ballad of Dood & Juanita debuted at No. 6 on the Sept. 4, 2021-dated Top Album Sales chart and spent two weeks on the list, before re-entering the new chart.

 

Veteran band Scorpions arrive at No. 4 on Top Album Sales with its new release Rock Believer, selling 12,000 copies. It’s the highest charting effort for the group on the 30-year-old Top Album Sales chart. Over on the Billboard 200, the set begins at No. 59, marking the 20th charting effort for the band, and highest charting title since 2010’s Sting in the Tail debuted and peaked at No. 23.

 

The chart-topping Encanto soundtrack falls 3-5 on Top Album Sales with 10,000 sold (down 16%), Adele’s former leader 30 dips 4-6 with 8,000 (down 6%) and Olivia Rodrigo’s No. 1 Sour descends 5-7 with 7,000 (down 2%).

 

The Pokemon 25: The Album compilation re-enters the chart at No. 8 following its release on vinyl LP. It sold 6,000 copies in total for the week (up 6,034%), nearly all on vinyl. It also bows at No. 3 on the Vinyl Albums chart.

 

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours falls 7-9 on Top Album Sales with nearly 6,000 sold (down 11%).

 

Machine Gun Kelly’s Tickets to My Downfall re-enters the list at No. 10 with nearly 6,000 sold (up 2,314%) following its release on pink-colored vinyl exclusively via Walmart stores. Tickets debuts at No. 5 on the Vinyl Albums chart.

 

In the week ending March 3, there were 1.727 million albums sold in the U.S. (up 4.8% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.332 million (up 5.7%) and digital albums comprised 395,000 (up 1.7%).
