Plus: Don Toliver scores highest-charting album yet with No. 2 debut of “Life of a Don.”
Drake’s Certified Lover Boy rebounds to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Oct. 23) for a fourth nonconsecutive week in the lead, as the set bumps up from No. 2 with 94,000 equivalent album units earned (down 14%) in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 14, according to MRC Data.

Certified Lover Boy spent its first three weeks at No. 1 (Sept. 18-Oct. 2-dated charts), and then stepped aside to the No. 2 slot for the past two weeks, as YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Sincerely, Kentrell debuted at No. 1 (Oct. 9-dated chart) and Taylor Swift’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version) returned to No. 1 (Oct. 16 chart).

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. 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. The new Oct. 23, 2021-dated chart (where Certified Lover Boy returns to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Oct. 19. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.


Drake Nearly Quit 'Degrassi' Over Wheelchair Storyline's Effect on His Rap Career, Writer Says

Of Certified Lover Boy’s 94,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 14, SEA units comprise 92,000 (down 14%, equaling 125.77 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 1,000 (down 9%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 10%).

Don Toliver lands his highest-charting album yet, as Life of a Don debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 68,000 equivalent album units. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 49,000 (equaling 64.13 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 18,000 (all from a digital download, as no physical product is available) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Life of a Don surpasses the No. 7 debut and peak of his one earlier charting album, Heaven or Hell (March 28, 2020 chart).


YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Sincerely, Kentrell climbs 4-3 with 51,000 equivalent album units earned (down 28%) while Meek Mill’s Expensive Pain falls 3-4 with 46,000 units (down 51%). Life of a Don, Sincerely and Expensive Pain were all released through Atlantic Records, giving the label three of the top four on the Billboard 200 for the first time since the Jan. 20, 2018, chart. That week, Atlantic held the Nos. 1, 2 and 4 slots with the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman, Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) and Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, respectively. (Life of a Don was released via Cactus Jack/WeRunIt/Atlantic, Sincerely via Never Broke Again/Atlantic and Expensive Pain via Maybach/Atlantic.)

Back on the new Billboard 200, Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour climbs 6-5 with a little more than 43,000 equivalent album units earned (up less than 1%), Lil Nas X’s Montero dips 5-6 with 43,000 (down 5%) and Doja Cat’s Planet Her is a non-mover at No. 7 with 42,000 units (down 2%).


Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 Dangerous: The Double Album rises 9-8 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (up 6%). The album debuted atop the chart 40 weeks ago, and has yet to depart the top 10. It has the fifth-most weeks in the top 10 among country albums all-time (with country albums defined as those that are eligible for Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart). Ahead of it are Swift’s Fearless (58 weeks), Shania Twain’s Come On Over (53), Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind (50) and Billy Ray Cyrus’ Some Gave All (43).

Dangerous is only the third country album to spend its first 40 weeks on the chart in the top 10, after Ropin’ the Wind spent its first 50 in the region (Sept. 28, 1991-Sept. 5, 1992-dated charts) and Some Gave All held in the top 10 for its first 43 weeks (June 6, 1992-March 27, 1993-dated charts).

Rounding out the new top 10 on the Billboard 200 are a pair of former No. 1s: Kanye West’s Donda rises 10-9 (33,000 equivalent album units earned; down 12%) and The Kid LAROI’s F*ck Love climbs 12-10 (32,000 units; down 4%).

The article does mention its 58 weeks there. It's not mentioned in the part about their first 40 weeks in the top 10 since it must have dropped out of the top 10 before getting to that milestone.

[Taylor.]

Decent jump from HDD where she was #42 with 13.8k.

[Eloqueen™]

I am still amazed at the performance of the Fearless TV re-release. Like, I didn't expect much of anything from these re-releases in general, maybe 100-200,000 copies total, but they really did the damn thing all things considered. It's impressive.

[Choco]

21 coming for that 85th week inside top 10 when 30 drops.

I'm impressed that it's nearing Platinum eligibility already. I thought it would take much longer tbh.

I would expect 25 to also be in the top 10 then.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

After Hours re-entered the Billboard 200 at #23, while The Highlights dropped 15-69 and Beauty Behind the Madness 79-84. It will be interesting to see if The Highlights somehow ends up behind the latter how much lower it would drop and in each the latter rise.

As would I.

‘21’ should rank higher ‘25’ on this latest release. That should break her tie with Bruce… not sure how many weeks Thriller accumulated on the Comprehensive Chart, but if you factor the anniversary release and aftermath of Michael’s death, it would easily skew that number.

Amazing just how dominant The Sound Of Music was and this before debuting at #1 was a thing. That album is supposedly the oldest to have 10 million in shipments, but there hasn’t been a re-up in certifications since its initial ‘gold’ plaque in the 60’s.

Don Toliver’s ‘Life of a Don’ Debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales Chart

By Keith Caulfield
10/21/2021

Don Toliver’s second album, Life of a Don, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Oct. 23), selling 18,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 14, according to MRC Data. It’s just the third R&B/hip-hop album to reach No. 1 on the chart this year, following Tyler, the Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost (July 10-dated chart) and J. Cole’s The Off-Season (May 29).

Toliver leads a busy top 10, as new projects from aespa, Trivium, Grateful Dead, Reba and Old Dominion also arrive in the region.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now MRC Data. Pure album sales were the measurement solely utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Korean pop group aespa sees its Savage album bow at No. 2 on Top Album Sales, with 17,000 copies sold. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga’s Love for Sale falls 2-3 with 13,000 sold (down 65%). Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour climbs 6-4 with 10,000 sold (up 21%).

Rock act Trivium starts at No. 5 with In the Court of the Dragon (9,000), Grateful Dead’s latest archival live release Listen to the River: St. Louis ’71 ’72 ’73 debuts at at No. 6 (nearly 9,000) and Taylor Swift’s former No. 1 Fearless (Taylor’s Version) falls 1-7 with 8,000 (down 94%), after the album returned to No. 1 a week ago following its Oct. 1 release on signed CD and vinyl LP.

Reba’s Revived Remixed Revisited bows at No. 8 with 8,000 sold, NCT 127’s former No. 1 Sticker: The 3rd Album falls 5-9 with nearly 8,000 (down 16%) and Old Dominion’s Time, Tequila & Therapy starts at No. 10 with 7,500.

[Enigma.]

The Weeknd's albums are acting so bizarrely... Last week The Highlights was top 20 and After Hours out. This week AH charts, TH drops a lot and on both weeks BBTM is steady despite not being on chart at all 3 weeks ago.
