Billboard’s Top 10 Album Sales, Week Ending 4/26/15 … Congrats To Yelawolf On A #3 Debut!

Following up his 2011 debut Radioactive, Yelawolf‘s sophomore effort Love Story arrived at number 3 this week on the Billboard 200 with 58,000 units sold. This by far surpasses Radioactive with both Billboard peak and first week sales, as it came in at number 27 with 41k. Also having a good week on Billboard is Drake, whose If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late climbed up from 10 last week to 4 with 48k units – thanks in large part to the physical version being released to stores last week.

The Numbers Are In! Find Out How Much Young Thug’s ‘Barter 6’ Sold The First Week!

Though Young Thug touted the controversial Barter 6 as just a mixtape, it was still made for sale on iTunes like Drake’s If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late – but unlike Drake, Thugger’s did not sell very well. After one week, Barter 6 debuts at a measly 26 on the Billboard 200, with just under 19,000 sold. In comparison, last week’s other semi-surprise release – Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb – sold 58k and debuted at number 4. Hopefully Thugger’s official debut fares a little better.

Currently on its fourth week in stores, the Furious 7 soundtrack has sped up to number one on the Billboard 200 this week, moving another 111,000 units. The project is being fueled by the mega success of its lead single – Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” with Charlie Puth. The song plays during the final scene in the movie, and sold 464,000 downloads for the past week. Wiz also recently premiered the video, as well as performed it on NBC’s The Voice, both of which also helped immensely. Elsewhere on the chart, Kendrick and Drake still remain comfortably in the top 10. Meanwhile, last week’s number one album, Wale’s The Album About Nothing, falls to number 11 in its second week with 33,000 units sold. Check out the full top 10 below!

Billboard’s Top 10 Album Sales, Week Ending 3/22/15 … Congrats To Kendrick Lamar On A #1 Debut!

There is definitely no sophomore jinx for Kendrick Lamar! The arrival of his second album To Pimp A Butterfly has him perched atop the Billboard 200 for the very first time with a whopping 363k units sold, after his first album, 2012’s good kid, m.A.A.d city, debuted and peaked at number 2, selling 241,000 copies. This number includes SPS (sales plus streaming,) but traditional sales comprise 89% of its overall unit total at 324k. The album was only announced on March 6, then had a surprise release a week early, so once again, this new “surprise” formula proves successful! Check out the full top 10 below.
