5 Seconds of Summer Earns Second No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
By Keith Caulfield | November 01, 2015 6:42 PM EST

5 Seconds of Summer lands its second straight No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as its new Sounds Good Feels Good set debuts atop the tally. The album was released on Oct. 23 through Hi Or Hey/Capitol Records and moved 192,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Oct. 29, according to Nielsen Music. (Of that sum, 179,000 were in pure album sales.)

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Nov. 14-dated chart (where 5 Seconds of Summer is No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) is the only band -- not vocal group -- to see its first two full-length studio albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Sounds Good Feels Good follows their self-titled album, which arrived at No. 1 in 2014 (with 259,000 sold in its first week). Before that, the band issued the introductory EP She Looks So Perfect, which debuted and peaked at No. 2.

The new album was led by the single “She’s Kinda Hot,” which became 5SOS’ highest-charting track so far on the Pop Songs airplay chart, peaking at No. 15. It also reached No. 22 on the overall Billboard Hot 100 chart, which blends airplay from all formats, along with sales and streaming data.

The set’s second official single, “Hey Everybody," rose 35-31 on the Pop Songs chart dated Nov. 7.

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, country superstar Carrie Underwood debuts at No. 2 with her new album Storyteller (177,000 units, 164,000 in pure album sales). It’s the fifth studio album from the singer, and all five have reached the top two positions on the chart.


Underwood is the only country artist to see their first five studio albums reach either Nos. 1 or 2 on the Billboard 200. She debuted on the list at No. 2 in 2005 with Some Hearts, and then followed it up with three straight No. 1s: Carnival Ride (in 2007), Play On (2009) and Blown Away (2012). After that, she released the compilation Greatest Hits: Decade #1 which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in 2014, followed by the new Storyteller.

The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness is steady at No. 3 on the latest Billboard 200 (55,000 units, down 12 percent) while Fetty Wap’s self-titled album rises 5-4 (42,000 units, down 12 percent).

Blake Shelton collects his ninth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as his latest best-of compilation, Reloaded: 20 #1 Hits, debuts at No. 5 with 40,000 units (33,000 in pure album sales). The 21-track set features all 20 of his No. 1 singles on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, plus the new single “Gonna.”

Reloaded is Shelton’s second greatest hits album, following Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton, which peaked at No. 18 in 2011.

Drake and Future’s What a Time to Be Alive climbs 8-6 (slightly more than 34,000 units; down 20 percent), Taylor Swift’s 1989 jumps 9-7 (34,000; down 7 percent), Pentatonix’s self-titled album falls 1-8 in its second week (32,000; down 67 percent) and Selena Gomez’s Revival slips 7-9 (31,000; down 33 percent).

Singer Andrea Bocelli debuts at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with Cinema (30,000 units; 29,000 album sales), marking his eighth top 10 effort. The set -- which finds Bocelli interpreting songs from films, like “Maria” from West Side Story and “Lara’s Theme” from Doctor Zhivago -- also starts at No. 1 on the Classical Crossover Albums chart. The album features guest turns from Ariana Grande and Nicole Scherzinger.

Cinema is also the 11th No. 1 for the Italian tenor on the Classical Crossover Albums tally, extending his record for the most chart-toppers among all artists. (Tied for the second-most No. 1s on the Classical Crossover Albums chart are Il Divo and Sarah Brightman, with seven leaders each.)

Confident is already out of the top 10 ????

[Enigma.]

Pretty decent third week for Selena

[Daryl the Beryl]

Hopefully they fix that Vance Joy error on the Billboard 200 but we'll see

And still hoping Carrie can get no. 1 next week

So Carrie exceeded the projections, right?

Blake Shelton's Reloaded: 20 #1 hits debuts at #2 with nearly 33k buying the greatest hits package (his second in four years). Luke Bryan's Kill The Lights slides down to #3 with 14k scanned this week while Thomas Rhett sits at #5 with Tangled Up. Rounding out the Top 5 is Don Henley's Cass County. The album has scanned 677k to date.

Top Ten Recap

Sam Hunt's Montevallo has scanned 10.5k this week and in just three days (Tues-Thurs) Sam Hunt's pre-fame acoustic collection Between The Pines sits at #7 with sales of 10.2k. Look for it to land back on this Top 10 next week too. George Strait's at #8 with Cold Beer Conversation while #9 finds Eric Church's The Outsiders. Jimmy Fortune's Hits & Hymns project debuts at #10 with nearly 4k copies purchased.

Notables

Jana Kramer Thirty-One is at #12 with 26k sold to date, Colt Ford's greatest hits collection Answer To No One debuts at #14 with 3k scanned while Kelsea Ballerini's The First Time soared back into the Top 15 with 3k scanned (69k total to date). Carrie Underwood has scanned over 400k copies of her Greatest Hits: Decade #1 two disc package so it's likely to be certified Platinum (2 discs are doubled for RIAA sales #s).

Other notables discussed this week include Kane Brown, Chris Stapleton, Brantley Gilbert, Little Big Town, Maddie & Tae, Kacey Musgraves, Kenny Chesney, Home Free and The Cox Family who makes their debut this week. Also, thanks to the devastating news about Joey Feek's cancer, Joey+Rory's Country Classics returns to the chart as well. All these notables can be viewed at the link below.

Just noticed that 211 is also No. 11 on Album Sales- thus rendering my previous comment moot, as I thought it was top 10. :|

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Adele's '21' & '19' Back in Top 40
By Keith Caulfield | November 06, 2015 9:45 PM EST

In the wake of the release of Adele's 'Hello,' the diva's first two albums zoom back into the top 40.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the action on the Nov. 7 chart:

— Adele, 21 - No. 11 — Just outside the top 10 is an album that is no stranger to the upper reaches of the chart: Adele’s 21. The set zooms from No. 79 to No. 11 with 28,000 units (up 369 percent) ad 16,000 in pure album sales (up 412 percent). The vault comes in the wake of the release of Adele’s new single “Hello,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. If 21 returns to the top 10, it will collect its 82nd nonconsecutive week in the region.

Further down the list, Adele’s first album, 19, re-enters at No. 36 with 12,000 units (up 341 percent) and 7,000 copies sold (up 337 percent).

Adele may soon have three albums in the top 40 at the same time, as her third album, 25, is scheduled for release on Nov. 20 and is forecast to have a blockbuster debut.

— Rod Stewart, Another Country - No. 20 — Rod Stewart nabs his 42nd chart entry on the Billboard 200 as Another Country debuts at No. 20 (earning 19,000 equivalent-album units, nearly all from pure album sales). Stewart made his solo debut on the list nearly 46 years ago when The Rod Stewart Album bowed at No. 200 on the tally dated Dec. 13, 1969 (it peaked at No. 139 the following March). Another Country, his second Capitol Records release, also starts at No. 10 on the Top Album Sales chart.

— Chris Tomlin, Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship - No. 31 — Chris Tomlin nets his ninth top 40-charting album, as his new holiday effort Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship, enters at No. 31.

It also bows at No. 1 on the Top Holiday Albums chart, giving the singer his second leader on the seasonal tally. (The Top Holiday Albums chart is published on a weekly basis from October through early January each Christmas season.)

Tomlin previously led the list for two weeks, in 2009 and 2011 with Glory In the Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship. (Adore also enters at No. 1 on Top Christian Albums, the Christian superstar’s sixth leader.)

— Soundtrack, Jem and the Holograms - No. 54 — Based on the 1980’s cartoon TV series of the same name, the new film adaptation’s soundtrack starts with 8,000 units at No. 54. The animated show, which was laden with original music, surprisingly never released a soundtrack.

— Metallica, Metallica - No. 73 — Thanks to an iTunes promotion, Metallica’s self-titled set climbs 195-73 (6,000 units; up 88 percent) to its highest rank since Aug. 11, 2012 (No. 51). The album spent four weeks at No. 1 in 1991 — the band’s first of five chart-toppers. With its rebound into the top 100, the album earns its 233rd week in the region: extending its record as the album with the most weeks in the top 100 since Nielsen Music began powering the list’s ranking on May 25, 1991.

Down -5.4% in overall album sales is not bad.
