Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits re-enters the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Feb. 17) at No. 1, following the country superstar’s death on Feb. 5 of stomach cancer. It’s the fifth chart-topper for Keith on the all-genre chart, and first since 2010.


The best-of collection earned 66,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending Feb. 8 (up 953%). The album was originally released in 2008 and initially peaked at its debut rank of No. 2 on the list dated May 24, 2008. It contains 31 of Keith’s 42 top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, including 15 of his 20 No. 1s.

35 Biggest Hits is Keith’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since 2010’s Bullets in the Gun. He also topped the tally with Big Dog Daddy (2007), Shock’N Y’all (2003) and Unleashed (2002). During his lifetime, he logged 14 top 10-charting albums (inclusive of his five No. 1s).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. 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 Feb. 17, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 13. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of 35 Biggest Hits’ 66,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Feb. 8, SEA units comprise 46,000 (up 689%, equaling 64.04 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 35 songs), album sales comprise 11,000 (up 3,251%) and TEA units comprise 9,000 (up 6,966%).

35 Biggest Hits is the first posthumous No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since Pop Smoke’s Faith debuted at No. 1 on the July 31, 2021, chart, following his death on Feb. 19, 2020. The last retrospective album to hit No. 1 posthumously was Prince’s The Very Best Of, which topped the chart dated May 7, 2016, following his death on April 21 of that year. 35 Biggest Hits is the first retrospective album to reach No. 1 since BTS’ Proof opened at No. 1 on the June 25, 2002 chart.

Also, as 35 Biggest Hits replaces another country album at No. 1 — Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at Time, which dips to No. 2 — it’s first time in more than nine years that one country album has replaced another at No. 1. It last happened in late October and early November of 2014, when three country albums each debuted at No. 1 and spent one week in succession: Blake Shelton’s Bringing Back the Sunshine (Oct. 18), Jason Aldean’s Old Boots, New Dirt (Oct. 25) and Florida Georgia Line’s Anything Goes (Nov. 1).

Back on the new Billboard 200, One Thing at a Time slips one spot to No. 2 with 65,000 equivalent album units (down 2%). Four more former No. 1s follow Wallen’s, as SZA’s SOS steps 6-3 (53,000; up 28%), 21 Savage’s American Dream falls 2-4 (51,000; down 16%), Taylor Swift’s Midnights rises 9-5 (51,000; up 35%) and Drake’s For All the Dogs descends 3-6 (49,000; down 4%). SZA and Swift both gain thanks in part to exposure during the Grammy Awards’ CBS-TV broadcast (Feb. 4). The former performed and won best R&B song (for SOS single “Snooze”), while the latter won two trophies (both for Midnights: album of the year and best pop vocal album).

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season slips 4-7 on the Billboard 200 with 49,000 equivalent album units earned (though up 4%), Swift’s chart-topping 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is pushed down 5-8 with 48,000 units (up 7%) and Swift’s former leader Lover is also squeezed down despite a gain, falling 7-9 with 45,000 units (up 13%). Zach Bryan’s self-titled chart-topper rounds out the top 10, falling 8-10 with 42,000 units (while up 5%).

Barely 3 1/2 tracking days for '35 Biggest Hits'

[WolfSpear]

Wow is right. 35 Biggest Hits is now the oldest title to ever top the Billboard 200 and only the second catalog title to rule since 2009.

yes - Very Best of Pribce released in 2001, went #1 in 2016 -- just shy of 15 years after release

This album release May 2008, hits #1 just shy of 16 years after release

MJs 2003 hits album, although not #1, was the best seller of the week in summer 2009 - 6 years after release


all three due to death

10 Taylor Swift Albums Among 44 Projects That Saw a Billboard 200 Bump After 2024 Grammys

2/13/2024

By Keith Caulfield

SZA, Taylor Swift, Travis Scott and Olivia Rodrigo are among the highest-ranked artists posting gains following exposure on the Grammys.

On the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Feb. 17), 44 albums post unit gains thanks to exposure during the CBS broadcast of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 4. (Any artist who was a presenter, performer, on-air winner or a nominee mentioned during a presentation of an on-air award was considered in our research.)

The highest-ranked Grammy gainer on the chart is SZA’s former No. 1 SOS, which climbs 6-3 with 53,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 8 (up 27%), according to Luminate. On the Grammy Awards, SZA won the best R&B song award for “Snooze” and performed a medley of “Snooze” and “Kill Bill.” The latter was also nominated for record of the year and song of the year. (SZA additionally won Grammys for best progressive R&B album [for SOS] and best pop duo/group performance for the set’s “Ghost in the Machine,” featuring Phoebe Bridgers, but those awards were not presented during the TV broadcast.)

SZA’s previous album, 2017’s Ctrl, also logs a gain, rising 38-30 with 20,000 units (up 12%).

Taylor Swift, who was a multiple nominee and two-time winner at the 2024 Grammy Awards, has 10 gaining albums on the chart, with three in the top 10. Swift took home the prizes for album of the year and best pop vocal album (both for Midnights). With the album of the year win, she became the first act to claim the trophy four times. She was nominated for four more awards – record of the year, song of the year, pop solo performance (all for “Anti-Hero”) and best pop duo/group performance (“Karma,” featuring Ice Spice). Swift’s highest-ranked gaining title on the Billboard 200 is her former No. 1 Midnights, which rises 9-5 with 51,000 units (up 35%).

Here’s a recap of all the artists that post gains on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 17) following their exposure on the Grammy Awards. On the broadcast, nine competitive award categories were presented (in chronological order): best pop solo performance, best música urbana album, best country album, best R&B song, best pop vocal album, song of the year, best new artist, record of the year and album of the year. There are a total of 94 competitive categories in total. The vast majority of awards are not presented during the television broadcast.

Performer and winner SZA sizzles with SOS (rising 6-3 with 53,000; up 38%) and Ctrl (38-30 with 20,000; up 12%).

Noah Kahan, who was among the best new artist nominees, sees his Stick Season post an increase, but is pushed down the chart 4-7 (49,000; up 4%).

Swift has a whopping 10 titles on the chart, all of which gain: Midnights (9-5 with 51,000; up 35%), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (5-8 with 48,000; up 7%), Lover (7-9 with 45,000; up 13%), Folklore (13-14 with 32,000; up 15%), Reputation (16-15 with 30,000; up 15%), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (26-25 with 23,000; up 10%), Evermore (34-26 with 21,000; up 11%), Red (Taylor’s Version) (33-28 with 21,000; up 8%), Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (73-63 with 14,000; up 12%) and 1989 (67-65 with 14,000; up 7%).

Zach Bryan, whose self-titled album was among the nominees for best country album, posts a unit gain with that set (8-10 with 42,000; up 5%), Elisabeth (113-116 with 10,000; up 2%) and Summertime Blues (159-154 with 9,000; up 2%). The best country album prize was won by Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottom Country. Bryan, however, did win a Grammy this year (his first ever), but it was not presented on the broadcast. He won for best country duo/group performance for his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves. (As for Wilson, Bell Bottom Country flies 118-95 with 11,000 units; up 10%).

Travis Scott, who performed a medley of three songs from his Utopia album (“My Eyes, “I Know?” and “Fe!n”) with Playboi Carti, sees Utopia hold steady at No. 12, though with a 10% unit gain (to 36,000). Utopia was also a nominee for best rap album, which was won by Killer Mike’s Michael. Scott also gains with his prior albums Astroworld (69-68 with 14,000; up 5%) and Rodeo (195-187 with 8,000; up 3%).

Performer and multiple nominee Olivia Rodrigo rises with a pair of albums: Guts (17-16 with 28,000; up 10%) and Sour (32-31 with 20,000; up 5%). On the show, she performed Guts single “Vampire.” Rodrigo was nominated for six Grammys this year, including album of the year and best pop vocal album (for Guts), record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance (for “Vampire”) and best rock song (Guts’ “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl”).

Performer Luke Combs, who sang his nominated cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” with Chapman herself on the show, sees gains for three of his albums on the chart. Gettin’ Old bumps 31-22 (24,000; up 25%), This One’s for You rises 49-45 (17,000; up 8%) and What You See Is What You Get climbs 82-75 (13,000; up 7%). “Fast Car” was nominated for, but did not win, best country solo performance.

Meanwhile, Chapman re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 59 with her 1988 self-titled chart-topping album (which contains her original version of “Fast Car”), earning 15,000 units (up 658%). It’s the album’s first appearance on the chart since 1989. It’s also Chapman’s first visit to the chart with any album since the Dec. 12, 2015-dated chart, with her Greatest Hits album spent one week on the list at No. 105.

The Barbie soundtrack bounces 35-32 on the Billboard 200 with 20,000 units earned (up 8%). The album basks in the glow of a pair of performances on the show – Dua Lipa’s show-opening medley (which included a small segment of the album’s “Dance the Night”) and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” Both songs earned multiple nominations this year: “Dance” for song of the year and best song written for visual media, “What Was I Made For” for record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best song written for visual media, and best music video. Mark Ronson, who presented the record of the year award on the show (with his mother-in-law, Meryl Streep), was a five-time nominee this year for his work on the Barbie album. Of the five nominations, he took home the trophy for best compilation soundtrack for visual media for Barbie. (Streep herself is a seven-time Grammy nominee, and scored a nod this year for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for Big Tree.)

Speaking of Lipa and Eilish, Lipa’s Future Nostalgia rises 126-108 (10,000 units; up 9%), while Eilish’s Happier Than Ever climbs 136-132 (10,000; up 4%) and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? steps 124-112 (10,000; up 6%).

Paul McCartney & Wings’ ‘Band on the Run’ Returns to Charts After 50th Anniversary Reissue

2/16/2024

By Keith Caulfield

The set re-enters at No. 5 on Top Album Sales and returns to Billboard 200 after more than a decade.

Paul McCartney and Wings’ Band on the Run stages a return to Billboard’s charts (dated Feb. 17) following the set’s 50th anniversary reissue on Feb. 2. The album re-enters the Top Album Sales chart at No. 5, debuts at No. 7 on the Vinyl Albums tally, re-enters at No. 6 on Tastemaker Albums and debuts at No. 37 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums. On the overall Billboard 200 chart, where the album hit No. 1 in 1974, the set re-enters at No. 156 – its first appearance on the chart since Jan. 1, 2011. 

Band on the Run was reissued in a variety of formats, including a single-LP vinyl release cut at half-speed, a double-LP vinyl set at half-speed with a bonus “underdubbed” version of the album, and as a double-CD set (also with the underdubbed mixes). The 50th anniversary reissues are combined with the original album for sales tracking and charting purposes.

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 Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement 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.

Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranks the week’s most popular rock and alternative albums by equivalent album units. Vinyl Album tallies the week’s top-selling vinyl releases. Tastemaker Albums measures the top-selling titles at independent and small chain record stores.

Band on the Run sold 8,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 8 (up 14,681%) according to Luminate.

Elsewhere on Top Album Sales, Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) returns to No. 1 for a seventh nonconsecutive week, climbing two spots with 12,000 copies sold (up 18%). Swift has a clean sweep of the top three, as former No. 1 Midnights bolts 8-2 (11,000; up 91%) following its double win at the Grammy Awards (Feb. 4) for album of the year and best pop vocal album, plus Swift’s chart-topping Lover rises 4-3 with nearly 11,000 sold (up 51%).

Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits re-enters at No. 4 on Top Album Sales with nearly 11,000 sold (up 3,251%) following his death on Feb. 5 of stomach cancer.

Phish’s Round Room, originally released in 2002, re-enters at No. 6 with 6,000 sold (up 2,789%) following its release on vinyl on Feb. 2.

Stray Kids’ chart-topping ROCK-STAR is steady at No. 7 with 6,000 (down 1%).

The soundtrack to The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes debuts at No. 8 with 6,000 sold following its release on CD and vinyl on Feb. 2. The album was initially released via digital download and streaming services on Nov. 17, 2023.

Rounding out the top 10 is Green Day’s former leader Saviors, slipping 5-9 with nearly 6,000 (down 20%) and Swift’s chart-topping Folklore, rising 15-10 with almost 6,000 (up 48%).

In the week ending Feb. 8, there were 1.168 million albums sold in the U.S. (up 4.5% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 829,000 (up 0.2%) and digital albums comprised 339,000 (up 16.6%).

There were 391,000 CD albums sold in the week ending Feb. 8 (down 3.2% week-over-week) and 433,000 vinyl albums sold (up 3.6%). Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 2.499 million (down 31.7% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 2.847 million (down 46.3%).

Overall year-to-date album sales total 7.082 million (down 35.8% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 5.373 million (down 40.4%) and digital album sales total 1.709 million (down 15.8%).
