Tom Petty Scores First No. 1 Album On Billboard 200

By Keith Caulfield | August 06, 2014 11:14 AM EDT

After a nearly 37-year wait, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers earn their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

The band's new Hypnotic Eye arrives atop the chart, selling 131,000 copies in the week ending Aug. 3, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the best debut sales week for Petty since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991, and his best sales frame overall (debut or otherwise) since 1994, when his solo album Wildflowers sold 161,000 in the week after Christmas.

Petty and The Heartbreakers first appeared on the Billboard 200 back in September 1977 with their self-titled debut album that featured the classics "Breakdown" and "American Girl."

Petty's long wait for No. 1 isn't the longest an act has had to wait for its first chart-topper. That honor belongs to Tony Bennett, who patiently waited 54 years for his first leader: 2011's Duets II. The pop singer's first charted album was 1957's Tony, which debuted on the chart dated Feb. 23, 1957.

Sales for Hypnotic Eyewere aided by an album promotion with Petty's current concert tour. Customers who bought a ticket to Petty's shows had the option of also receiving the album as part of their purchase. Only albums that were redeemed by the consumer count as sales toward Billboard's charts. (Many ticket buyers decline the album.)

Petty employed a similar album/ticket promotion for his last album, 2010's Mojo, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 125,000 sold in its first week. Aside from Petty, a great number of other acts have offered album/ticket deals, such as Austin Mahone, Cher and Bon Jovi.

Petty leads a busy top 10, where five more albums arrive in the region.

Eric Clapton is next up in the debut parade, as the veteran rocker bows at No. 2 with The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale (61,000). It's Clapton's highest-charting set since 1994's From the Cradle debuted at No. 1. The new collaborations album -- which is a tribute to singer/songwriter Cale and features the likes of Petty, John Mayer and Willie Nelson -- also nets Clapton his best debut sales frame since 2004's Me and Mr. Johnson started at No. 6 with 128,000. (Coincidentally, that was also a tribute set, honoring blues great Robert Johnson.)

Following Clapton is the soundtrack to the blockbuster movie "Guardians of the Galaxy," starting at No. 3 with a robust 60,000 sold. The Awesome Mix Vol. 1 album was initially heading for maybe a start of around 15,000, but the movie -- and its music -- clearly resonated with audiences.

The classic pop tunes on the album (like Blue Swede's "Hooked On a Feeling") play an important -- and emotional -- role in the movie: They are all on a mixtape in the main character's Walkman, which was given to him by his late mother. The film's director, James Gunn, has said in interviews that he used Billboard's charts from the 1970s to help determine the songs used in the movie, and on the soundtrack.

Last week's No. 1 album, 5 Seconds of Summer's self-titled set, falls to No. 4 with 54,000 (down 79 percent).

Vine star-turned-major-label singer Shawn Mendes arrives at No. 5 with his self-titled debut EP, selling 48,000. The Island Records effort is the fourth EP to hit the top 10 this year, following earlier EPs from 5 Seconds of Summer, Luke Bryan and Austin Mahone.

After 31 consecutive weeks in the top five, the “Frozen” soundtrack finally exits the region, descending 2-6 with 33,000 (down 10 percent). Though it's out of the top five, the album still logs its 34th straight frame in the top 10, where it has been lodged since the Dec. 29, 2013 chart. (Only its first two weeks -- of 36 -- have been spent outside the top 10.)

After Frozen, Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour falls 4-7 with 30,000 (down 5 percent).

Rock band Theory of a Deadman starts at No. 8 with Savages (28,000) securing its second top 10 set. Singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis earns her highest-charting album ever -- and best sales week -- as her new Voyager album bows at No. 9 with 24,000. Her previous best rank and sales frame was when 2008's Acid Tongue debuted and peaked at No. 24 with 21,000.

Closing out the top 10 is Kidz Bop Kids' Kidz Bop 26, which moves 5-10 with 20,000 (down 24 percent).

Over on the Digital Songs chart, there's a new No. 1, as Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's "Bang Bang" arrives atop the list with 230,000 downloads sold. That's the second-largest debut for a song in 2014, following another Grande track, "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea (438,000 in the week ending May 4).

The fast-rising hit from Meghan Trainor, "All About That Bass," charges 6-2 with 169,000 sold (up 63 percent). Maroon 5's "Maps" rises 7-3 with 139,000 (up 35 percent), and Smith's "Stay With Me" falls 3-4 with 138,000 (down 5 percent).

Magic's "Rude" slides 2-5 with 134,000 (down 13 percent), Jason Aldean's "Burnin' It Down" dives 1-6 with 115,000 (down 38 percent), and Azalea's "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, drops 4-7 with 107,000 (down 13 percent).

Azalea's newest single, "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora, crawls 15-8 with 100,000 (up 31 percent), and Sia's "Chandelier" ascends 14-9 with 97,000 (up 24 percent). Maroon 5's "It Was Always You" rounds out the top 10, debuting at No. 10 with 95,000.

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Aug. 3) totaled 4.3 million units, up 2 percent compared with the sum last week (4.2 million) and down 15 percent compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (5.1 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 142.1 million, down 15 percent compared with the same total at this point last year (166.3 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 20.4 million downloads, up 5 percent compared with last week (19.4 million) and down 10 percent stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (22.8 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 695.3 million, down 13 percent compared with the same total at this point last year (798.1 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2013 when: The Civil Wars' self-titled album debuted at No. 1, selling 116,000 copies in its first week. The Now 47 album arrived in the runner-up position with 82,000.

Hip Hop Album Sales: PARTYNEXTDOOR, Iggy Azalea, Common

by Andres Tardio

posted August 06, 2014 at 11:30AM EST

PARTYNEXTDOOR leads the way for the Rap/R&B section as Iggy Azalea stays consistent and Common takes a dive in sales.

This week on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, PARTYNEXTDOOR leads the way with PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO. Meanwhile, Trey Songz's Trigga goes from #13 to #16 and Iggy Azalea stays consistent and in the Top 20 with The New Classic. Last week's debut, Common's Nobody's Smiling also appears on the list, this week experiencing a significant drop in sales.

PARTYNEXTDOOR'S PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO Earns #15 Spot

PARTYNEXTDOOR has the #15 album of the week with PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO. The album, which is the top Rap/R&B effort on the chart, has sold 15,924 units in its first week of availability. The project by the OVO Sound singer features "Sex On The Beach," "Grown Woman," "Thirty," and the Drake-assisted "Recognize." The album follows PARTYNEXTDOOR's 2013 EP, PARTYNEXTDOOR, which also featured only one guest, Drake. PARTYNEXTDOOR recently participated in Drake's OVO Fest 2014.

Trey Songz's Trigga Falls To #16

Trey Songz's Trigga finds itself falling from #13 to #16 this week. The album, which has been available for five weeks, dropped 12 percent in sales from 15,763 last week to 13,920 this week. Overall, Trey Songz has sold 191,416 copies of Trigga. The album earned a favorable review from HipHopDX with a 4 out of 5 X rating. "As the soundtrack for when the turn up eventually involves turning down the sheets," HipHopDX says in its album review, "Trey Songz has been one of the last decade’s most dependable hit record-making artists."

Iggy Azalea Remains In Top 20, Common Falls To #29

Iggy Azalea continues her consistency on the chart this week with The New Classic. The album, which has been available for 15 weeks, stayed in the #18 position it occupied last week. While that remained consistent, her sales increased by one percent. That means, Azalea went from selling 11,957 units last week to 12,056 copies this week. Overall, Azalea has sold 270,442 units of The New Classic.

Common, who had the #6 album last week, experienced a sales decrease of 67 percent in Nobody's Smiling's second week out. The effort, which sold 24,401 units in its first week, took a dip to 8,066 copies sold this week. That dropped Com from #6 to #29. Overall, Nobody's Smiling has sold 32,603 units.

Great sales for TP&TH and brilliant top ten position for Jenny Lewis!

Who here has time to figure out how many Top 10 albums Top Petty has?

Billboard obviously didn't!

Wikipedia lists 14, including this one. Two are as part of The Traveling Wilburys, so Billboard wouldn't count those together. One was a Greatest Hits, and three were without the Heartbreakers. So:

Heartbreakers albums: 8
Solo: 3
Compilation: 1
Wilburys: 2
---------------
Total: 14

Chart Watch: Tom Petty's Record-Setting American Band
By Paul Grein

Nearly 37 years after first cracking The Billboard 200 with their eponymous debut album, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers finally land their first #1 album with Hypnotic Eye. This constitutes a new record for an American band. That’s fitting, because Petty and the Heartbreakers, which formed in Florida and found their footing in Los Angeles, are a quintessential American band. Their debut album included the classic “American Girl.”

This is the 15th top 10 album of Petty’s career. That tally that includes nine albums with the Heartbreakers, three solo albums, two albums as a member of Traveling Wilburys and one as a member of Mudcrutch. Hypnotic Eye is Petty's first #1, period, with or without the Heartbreakers.

Among all acts, Petty and the Heartbreakers arein fourth place for the longest wait between first chart album and first #1, behind Tony Bennett (54 years and eight months), Black Sabbath (42 years and 10 months) and Neil Diamond (41 years and seven months). (Black Sabbath, of course, is English.)

Petty and his band had climbed as high as #2 twice, with Damn The Torpedoes (which logged seven weeks in the runner-up spot in 1980) and Mojo (one week at #2 in 2010).

Hypnotic Eye sold 131K copies in its first week. The album was boosted by a Ticketmaster ticket bundle. About half of this week’s sales were linked to ticket purchases for the band’s current tour. (Mojo was also boosted by a album/ticket bundle.) Other veteran acts to have benefitted from such bundles include Cher and Bon Jovi.

Petty is also featured on Eric Clapton & Friends’ The Breeze—An Appreciation Of J.J. Cale, a tribute album which debuts at #2 (61K). Clapton co-produced and is featured on the album, which also features John Mayer, Mark Knopfler and Willie Nelson, among others.

Thanks for that, I too was wondering why Billboard didn't mention it.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Shawn Mendes and the Great EP Comeback
By Keith Caulfield | August 08, 2014

This week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers finally claimed its first No. 1 album, as Hypnotic Eye bowed in the top slot, selling 131,000 copies in the week ending Aug. 3, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Of course, aside from Petty there was -- as usual -- lots of chart action. Let's take a closer look at the rest of the chart:

-- Shawn Mendes, The Shawn Mendes EP - No. 5 - Vine star-turned-major-label singer Shawn Mendes arrives at No. 5 with his self-titled debut EP, selling 48,000 in the week ending Aug. 3, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The Island Records effort is the fourth EP to hit the top 10 this year, following earlier short sets from 5 Seconds of Summer, Luke Bryan and Austin Mahone.

A year ago at this point, no EPs had reached the top 10, though four made the region by the close of 2013.

The shorter album — generally defined as containing between four and eight songs — has gained in popularity in recent years.

In 2013, the Billboard 200 saw 82 EPs debut on the chart — 7.2% of the 1142 titles that debuted in total. That was up tremendously from 10 years earlier, when just 18 EPs hit the chart in 2003 (2.2% of the 802 total debuts).

EPs are an economical way to introduce a new artist, and can also be used as a stopgap between full-length sets by established stars. 5 Seconds of Summer's top 10 set She Looks So Perfect EP, for example, preceded its No. 1 self-titled full-length debut.

-- 'N Sync, The Essential 'N Sync - No. 25 - The pop group tallies the fourth top 25-charting album for Sony Legacy's Essential series, following Bruce Springsteen (No. 14, 2003), Barbra Streisand (No. 15, 2002) and Billy Joel (No. 15, 2013). The Essential 'N Sync sold 10,000 copies in the week ending Aug. 3. The Essential-branded greatest hits series launched in 2001 and has released more than 100 titles. Sony Music says it is their most successful product line, and it has sold 22 million in the U.S., according to SoundScan. The Essential albums often enhance an artist's existing catalog of product, which usually already includes a previously-released greatest hits collection. 'N Sync's 34-track Essential title, for example, follows the group's 12-song Greatest Hits, released in 2005.

-- The Allman Brothers Band, The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings - No. 57 – The veteran act claims its 27th chart entry, and second this year, following Play All Night: Live at the Beacon Theatre 1992 (No. 43, March 8). The group hasn't debuted two albums on the chart in a year since 1981.

-- Cher, Closer to the Truth - No. 70 - The album once again re-enters the chart (4,000; up 125 percent), thanks to sales generated by redemptions of the album bundled with tickets to Cher's current tour. Those that purchased tickets to the tour also had the option to receive her album as part of the purchase price. Only albums that were redeemed by the consumer count as sales toward Billboard's charts. (Many ticket buyers decline the album.)The out-of-nowhere jump was spurred by an email blast to customers, reminding them of the album offer.

-- James Brown, 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! - No. 133 - Though this 1991 album has sold 1.5 million copies, this is its first week on the Billboard 200. Why is the album only finally debuting this week? Back in the early 1990s, when the set was chart-eligible, it never sold enough in a single week to reach the list. After two years, the album was no longer eligible to chart on the Billboard 200, but instead shifted over to the Top Catalog Albums chart (where it charted for 10 weeks). The Catalog chart is for older albums, generally defined as those two years old, or older. So, if 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! Is considered a catalog album, why can it now chart on the Billboard 200? At the end of 2009, the Billboard 200 began allowing catalog titles to chart again, thus, the Brown title can finally debut on the list. It's one of two debuts for Brown this week, joined by his soundtrack to the new film about his life, Get On Up (No. 63).

-- Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Social Music - No. 134 - The album debuts at No. 134 and also re-enters at No. 1 on Traditional Jazz Albums (it's first week at the top) following Batiste's interview and performance on "The Colbert Report" (July 29). The album sold 3,000 in the week ending Aug. 3, up 10,400 percent.

-- Gaelic Storm, Full Irish: Best of Gaelic Storm — 2004-2014 - No. 169 - On World Albums, the band collects its fifth No. 1 with this new set. Only four acts have claimed more leaders: The Chieftains (seven), Gipsy Kings (eight), Celtic Thunder (10) and Celtic Woman (10).
