Post Malone's 'Beerbongs & Bentleys' Heading For Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Plus: P!nk’s “Beautiful Trauma” aiming for top 10 return, while Playboi Carti, Charlie Puth and Arctic Monkeys all on course for top 10 debuts.

Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys is on course for a third straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, according to industry forecasters. Those in the know suggest the set may earn perhaps 140,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 17, with the bulk of that sum driven by streaming activity.

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 top 10 of the May 26-dated Billboard 200 chart is scheduled to be revealed on Billboard’s websites on Sunday, May 20.

As for the rest of next week’s top 10, watch for a surging P!nk to possibly vault from No. 83 to No. 2 with her former No. 1 Beautiful Trauma. The set — which debuted atop the list last November — will benefit from sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with the next leg of the diva’s tour, which went on sale May 11. It could snare over 80,000 in equivalent album units in the week ending May 17.

As for new entries in the region, watch for Playboi Carti, Charlie Puth and Arctic Monkeys to all possibly bow in the top 10.

Playboi Carti’s surprise release Die Lit could earn perhaps 65,000 units, which may place the set in next week’s top five. That would give the rapper his highest charting set yet — and first top 10 — surpassing the No. 12 debut and peak of his self-titled 2017 release.

Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth is on course for his second top 10 effort, as his sophomore full-length studio set Voicenotes may bow with around 55,000 to 60,000 units. Puth’s first full-length album, Nine Track Mind, debuted and peaked at No. 6 in 2016.

Lastly, rock band Arctic Monkeys could snag their third top 10 with Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, earning perhaps 40,000 units. It’s the group’s first album since 2013’s AM, which reached No. 6.

Wow 140k that's big and he may have another 100k the following week.

[Mayman]

The album is great, so I'm glad it's doing this well.

Post Malone's 'Beerbongs & Bentleys' Nets Third Straight Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200
5/20/2018 by Keith Caulfield


‘Beerbongs’ scores longest streak at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s 'reputation' last year.

For the third week in a row, Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys sits atop the Billboard 200 chart dated May 26, as the album earned 147,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 17 (down 24 percent), according to Nielsen Music.
The set is only the second album to notch three total weeks at No. 1 in 2018 (following Black Panther: The Album, which logged its three frames on top non-consecutively) and scores the longest streak at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s reputation linked together three consecutive weeks at No. 1 (Dec. 2-16, 2017) of its four total nonconsecutive No. 1 frames.

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 May 26-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday, May 22.

Post Malone’s beerbongs is still largely powered by streams, as it collected 122,000 in SEA units (down 24 percent), while the remainder of its total for the week is comprised of 18,000 in traditional album sales (down 24 percent) and TEA units (down 16 percent).

At No. 2, P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma -- as expected -- comes roaring back up the Billboard 200 with an 83-2 vault (139,000 units; up 1,715 percent). The former No. 1 zooms up the list thanks to big sales (135,000; up 3,197 percent) mostly generated by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with the next leg of her U.S. tour that went on sale May 11.

Thanks to Beautiful Trauma’s big leap, it logs the largest positional jump into the top two in over 20 years. Radiohead’s In Rainbows last posted a bigger vault into the top two, when it ran from No. 156 to No. 1 on the Jan. 19, 2008-dated list. (The set had a large gain on the list owed to a premature debut a week prior, spurred by eager retailers that began selling the set before its official street date.)


Rapper Playboi Carti earns his best week yet, as his surprise release Die Lit debuts at No. 3 with 61,000 units. The album starts with a smashing 55,000 SEA units, with only 5,000 in traditional album sales and a scant 1,000 in TEA units. Die Lit garners the artist his highest charting set yet -- and first top 10 -- surpassing the No. 12 debut and peak of his self-titled 2017 release.

Pop singer-songwriter Charlie Puth nabs his highest charting album, as his second full-length studio effort Voicenotes launches at No. 4 with 58,000 units (mostly powered by traditional album sales: 39,000 copies sold). Voicenotes passes Puth’s previous peak on the list, when his debut full-length, 2016’s Nine Track Mind, topped out at No. 6 in its first week (65,000 units earned), Voicenotes is Puth’s third set to chart, as he also logged an entry with his introductory EP, Some Kind of Love, which reached No. 27 in 2015.

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman climbs 7-5 (a little more than 53,000 units; up 3 percent), J. Cole’s KOD dips 2-6 (53,000; down 22 percent) and Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy slips 4-7 (just under 53,000; down 15 percent).


Arctic Monkeys arrive with their third top 10 album, as Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino debuts at No. 8 with 47,000 units (37,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the alt-rock group’s first album since 2013’s AM, which reached No. 6. The act also collected a top 10 with 2007’s Favourite Worst Nightmare, which peaked at No. 7. In total, Tranquility lands Arctic Monkeys their sixth consecutive top 40 effort (their entirety of charting titles) since the band arrived on list in 2006 with the No. 24-peaking Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.

Black Panther: The Album holds steady at No. 9 on the new Billboard 200 with 33,000 units (up 12 percent).
Closing out the top 10 is rapper Tee Grizzley’s debut studio album Activated, which arrives at No. 10 with 33,000 units (with 26,000 of that in SEA units). The set boasts a guest list that includes Lil Yachty, Chris Brown, Jeezy and Moneybagg Yo.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: 'Greatest Showman' Becomes First Soundtrack Released in Nearly Four Years to Sell 1 Million Copies in U.S.

On the latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated May 26), Post Malone scored a third consecutive week at No. 1, as his beerbongs & bentleys earned 147,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 17 (down 24 percent), according to Nielsen Music.
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 rest of the Billboard 200:

-- Soundtrack, The Greatest Showman -- No. 5: The Greatest Showman becomes the first soundtrack released in nearly four years to sell 1 million copies in the U.S., as its total sales now stand at 1.003 million. The set, which was released on Dec. 8, 2017, sold 35,000 copies in the week ending May 17, which pushed its total sales sum over the million mark. The hit album has stayed steady in the top 10 for the past 21 straight weeks, with two of those at No. 1. The last soundtrack released to sell 1 million copies was Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1, which was released on July 29, 2014. It surpassed 1 million sold in the week ending Jan. 11, 2015, and has sold 2.14 million in total.

-- Sevendust, All I See Is War -- No. 28: The rock band notches its 15th chart entry -- and 12th top 40-charting effort -- as All I See Is War bows at No. 28. The group made its Billboard 200 chart debut 20 years ago, when its self-titled set debuted on the list dated March 28, 1998.

-- Ty Dolla $ign, Beach House 3 -- No. 39: Beach House 3 re-enters the list at No. 39 thanks to a deluxe reissue of the set on May 11 with a handful of bonus tracks. The revamped set, which comes with six additional cuts, earned 13,000 units (up 298 percent) -- mostly from streams of the bonus tunes.

-- Kacey Musgraves, Golden Hour -- No. 54: The album logs the chart’s largest percentage increase, as it rallies with a 57 percent lift to 10,000 units. The gain follows Musgraves’ performances on the May 12 edition of NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

-- Michael Jackson, Number Ones -- No. 57: Thanks to sale pricing and promotion at digital retailers, the greatest hits set returns to the list at No. 57 with 10,000 units (up 999 percent). With 221 nonconsecutive weeks on the chart, Number Ones is Jackson’s third-longest charting title, trailing only The Essential Michael Jackson (226) and Thriller (333).

-- Loreena McKennitt, Lost Souls -- No. 164: McKennitt returns to the chart for the first time since 2010 with her new album, Lost Souls. The set bows at No. 164, and marks her seventh entry on the list. The set also arrives at No. 1 on the World Albums chart -- her fifth leader on the tally.
