Panic! at the Disco Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
1/24/2016 by Keith Caulfield

Panic! at the Disco scores its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with Death of a Bachelor. The set, which was released on Jan. 15 through DCD2/Fueled By Ramen, debuts atop the chart with 190,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 22, according to Nielsen Music.

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 Feb. 6, 2016-dated chart (where Panic! debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Jan. 26.

Death of a Bachelor also earns Panic! at the Disco its best sales week yet for an album, as it sold 169,000 in pure album sales. It surpasses the act’s previous high, logged when Pretty.Odd. bowed at No. 2 with 139,000 sold in the week ending March 30, 2008.

Death of a Bachelor is Panic!’s fifth charting album, and follows Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! (No. 2 debut and peak in 2013), Vices & Virtues (No. 7 in 2011), Pretty. Odd., and their debut, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out (No. 13 peak in 2006 after debuting at No. 112 in 2005).

Panic! at the Disco’s first No. 1 album comes a little more than 10 years after the act made its chart debut with A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out on the list dated Oct. 15, 2005.

Notably, Death’s sales start greatly outpaces the launch of Panic!’s last album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! The latter started with 84,000, and has so far sold 407,000.

The new album has already logged five top 15-charting hits on the Hot Rock Songs chart: “Hallelujah” (which peaked at No. 3 way back in May of 2015), “Victorious” (No. 7) and “Emperor’s New Clothes” (No. 5), “LA Devotee” (No. 15) and “Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time” (No. 10).

Below Death of a Bachelor, Adele’s 25 stays steady at No. 2 with 147,000 units (up 3 percent), while Justin Bieber’s Purpose is also a non-mover at No. 3 with 91,000 units (down 12 percent). David Bowie’s Blackstar slips 1-4 with 90,000 units (down 50 percent) in its second week. And Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface is stationary at No. 5 with 45,000 units (up 5 percent).

The latest Kidz Bop Kids album, Kidz Bop 31, bows at No. 6 with 45,000 units (mostly from pure album sales: 43,000). It’s the 24th top 10 album for the series, and clocks the best sales week for the series in year. The last Kidz Bop album to collect a larger sales frame was Kidz Bop 27, which entered with 78,000 sold in January 2015. Following that album, Kidz Bop 28, 29 and 30 launched with 39,000; 36,000 and 27,000; respectively.

Rounding out the top 10 are Bowie’s Best of Bowie (4-7 with 43,000 units; down 54 percent), Chris Stapleton’s Traveller (7-8 with 41,000 units; up 25 percent thanks to exposure from his performances on the Jan. 16 edition of NBC’s Saturday Night Live), The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness (6-9 with 34,000 units; down 13 percent) and Bryson Tiller’s Trapsoul (8-10 with 31,000 units; down 5 percent).

Fetty Wap has hits?

[jenglisbe]

Is Adele's 147k the sales total or sales and streaming? What is the overall total now?

[areyoureadytojump]

^SPS.

Billboard will say "pure album sales" when they give that figure.

Adele, 25: 7,844,568 - pure album sales

Sam Hunt is going to cross 1 million next week

There's a reason why Madonna is #49 on the BB200?

hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=299362

Thanks to a 99-cent sale at Google Play, Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits (Rhino) moves #44-12, Blake Shelton’s Reloaded: 20 #1 Hits (Warner Bros. Nashville) moves #42-16, Phil Collins’ Hits (WMG) re-enters the chart at #18, Madonna’s Immaculate Collection (Sire) re-enters at #25, The Cars’ Complete Greatest Hits re-enters at #27 and Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill (Warner Bros.) re-enters at #39.

Billboard finally has all the new charts up at their website.

[HolidayGuy]

The Immaculate Collection reaches a new catalog peak (No. 6)- this marks its 286th week in the catalog top 50 since 1995, which, I believe, is the lengthiest run for a solo female album. Since 2009 (the year of Celebration's release), its top 50 showing has been few and far between, so it's good to see the sale give it a nice boost. The sale is still going on, so it has a good shot at being around next week, too.

Fleetwood Mac's GH stands at 559 weeks. Phil Collins' ...Hits has 155 weeks, and The Cars' compilation, No. 7 on the catalog chart, scores its second week.

You have to have hit records to have good streams. "Trap Queen", "679", "My Way", and "Again" are arguably bigger than any Chris Brown song released in the past 2 years.

HELP! areyoureadytojump and rsmatto:

The Billboard Country Update has Frank Foster at #7 with Boots On The Ground. Roughstock has it at #19. Also, Russell Dickerson's EP, Yours EP is at #14 on the BCU and at #13 at Roughstock. Who is right? What are the sales figures for both? Thanks.

[Gary]

Frank Foster abut 7200

Russell Dickerson around 3900

[Gary]

Russell Dickerson is on Top Current Albums #83
Frank Foster is #86 on the Billboard 200

The fact that Russell Dickerson is not listed on the BB200 is likely a mistake

I have to update my totals. Frank is #7. It was a retailer reporting error.

So you will celebrate this info aided by a ridiculous discount price for an album, yet have criticized Mariah singles in the past that were discounted in select stores. Hmmmm...

[HolidayGuy]

^Err, what? First off, celebrate? I'm discussing catalog-chart performance, where by and large the run was not boosted by such pricing.

One thing has nothing to do with another (pricing of a then-current physical single vs. a 25-year-old album, digital copy with no album art- for which the pricing applied to several other titles), so I don't know why you'd even raise the comparison. Well, actually, I do. And I hardly criticize in terms of charts, rather report facts and discuss.

On a note related to the Google Play sale, the GP chart has been frozen for a number of days now.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Dr. Dre's 'Compton' Hits a Half-Million Sold, Madonna's 'Immaculate' Return
1/30/2016 by Keith Caulfield

On the most recent Billboard 200 chart (dated Feb. 6), Panic! at the Disco scored its first No. 1 with Death of a Bachelor. The set started with 190,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 21, according to Nielsen Music, with 169,000 of that sum in pure album sales.


The Billboard 200 chart ranks the week’s most popular albums based on their overall consumption. That overall unit figure combines pure album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the action on the latest Billboard 200 chart:

-- Kidz Bop Kids, Kidz Bop 31 - No. 6: The debut marks the 45th charting effort for the Kidz Bop Kids series, and 23rd top 10 (it enters with 45,000 equivalent album units). Over on the Kid Albums chart, the set marks the brand’s 33rd No. 1 with its chart-topping arrival.

-- Eagles, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 - No. 11: Following the death of Glenn Frey on Jan. 18, fans remembered him with his music. His albums and songs -- solo and with his band the Eagles -- surged in popularity in the latest chart tracking week.

Eagles’ catalog of albums notch a huge sales gain: 501 percent in the week ending Jan. 21, according to Nielsen Music (rising to 52,000 sold), led by Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 (21,000; up 479 percent). The album vaults 113-11 on the Billboard 200 with 31,000 units (up 498 percent) to its highest rank since May 22, 1976 (the same year the album spent five weeks at No. 1).

Eagles’ total song sales climbed 684 percent for the week (to 153,000 downloads), while on-demand streams (both audio and video) rose by 303 percent (to 12.2 million). As for Frey’s solo albums, they sold 6,000 (up 9,111 percent) while his digital song sales numbered 39,000 (up 4,823 percent). Frey’s greatest hits album Solo Collection, released in 1995, debuts on the Billboard 200 at No. 82 (7,000 equivalent album units) -- his first visit to the chart since 2012 and highest-ranking set since 1988.

Frey’s on-demand streams jumped to 3 million (up 3,265 percent). His 1985 No. 2 Billboard Hot 100 hit “You Belong to the City” gathered most of those clicks: 616,000.

Rewinding the Country Charts: In 1994, Travis Tritt Helped Reunite the Eagles

-- Hank Williams Jr., It’s About Time - No. 15: Country veteran Hank Williams Jr. rides in to a No. 15 debut on the Billboard 200 with It’s About Time -- the entertainer’s 38th charting effort. It bows with 25,000 equivalent album units earned and gives Williams his fifth top 40-charting set. Four of his top 40 efforts have been released since 2006, while his first top 40 title was also his chart debut: the 1965 soundtrack to the film about his father’s life, Your Cheatin’ Heart (No. 16 peak). Hank Jr. performed the music heard in the film, while George Hamilton played Hank Sr. The new album is Williams’ first for Nash Icon and the Big Machine Label Group, and launches with 24,000 in pure album sales. It also bows at No. 8 on the Top Album Sales chart.

-- Soundtrack, Straight Outta Compton - No. 46 & Dr. Dre, Compton: As the soundtrack to the hit biopic Straight Outta Compton dips 39-46 in its second chart week (12,000 units; though up 7 percent), one of the movie’s subjects, Dr. Dre, collects his third half-million-selling album with Compton. The latter sells another 2,000 copies in the week ending Jan. 21, bringing its cumulative sales total to nearly 502,000. Dre’s two studios albums, The Chronic and Dr. Dre -- 2001, have sold 5.8 million and 7.9 million, respectively.

-- Madonna, The Immaculate Collection - No. 49: Thanks to a 99-cent sale on a number of albums in the Google Play store, a bevy of big names see large gains on The Billboard 200 -- among them, Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection. The diva’s first greatest hits album jumps 167-49 with 11,000 equivalent album units (up 167 percent) and 10,000 copies sold (up 321 percent). This is the highest rank for The Immaculate Collection since the Sept. 14, 1991-dated chart, when it was No. 47. The album, released in late 1990, peaked at No. 2 for two weeks in early 1991.

Other gains owed to the 99-cent sale include: Phil Collins’ …Hits (183-38 with 14,000 units; up 258 percent and 13,000 sold; up 462 percent), The Cars’ The Complete Greatest Hits (a re-entry at No. 61 with 9,000 units; up 258 percent and 8,000 sold; up 376 percent), Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill (a re-entry at No. 71 with 8,000 units; up 373 percent and 7,000 sold; up 599 percent) and Green Day’s Dookie (a re-entry at No. 98 with 6,000 units; up 93 percent and 5,000 sold; up 170 percent).

-- Celtic Woman, Destiny - No. 60 -- Vocal ensemble Celtic Woman notches its 11th charting effort on the Billboard 200 with the arrival of Destiny at No. 60 (9,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 21, according to Nielsen Music). Over on the World Albums chart, Destiny debuts at No. 1, giving the Irish group its 12th leader (out of 14 chart entries). They are one No. 1 away from tying the similarly-named (but all male) Celtic Thunder group for the most No. 1s in the chart’s 25-year history.
