Taylor Swift's '1989' Returns to No. 1 on Revamped Billboard 200
By Keith Caulfield | December 03, 2014 11:24 AM EST

The chart now includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales.

The newly refreshed Billboard 200 albums chart welcomes a familiar face back to No. 1, as Taylor Swift's 1989 hops back to the top slot (2-1) after a one-week vacation. This is the album's fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1.

The Billboard 200, which has long been a chart that ranked the most popular albums of the week based on pure album sales, now shifts its methodology to a multi-metric consumption model. The ranking includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales, in addition to traditional album sales, all measured by Nielsen.

This is the most substantial update to the chart's methodology since May of 1991, when Billboard first used Nielsen's point-of-sale data — SoundScan — to measure album sales.

As previously reported, the new Billboard 200 chart uses accepted industry benchmarks for digital and streaming data, where 10 digital track sales from an album is equivalent to one album sale, and 1,500 song streams from an album equates to one album sale. All of the major on-demand audio subscription services are considered, including Spotify, Beats Music, Google Play and Xbox Music.

Swift's return to No. 1 is powered by 339,000 total album equivalent units in the week ending Nov. 30. Of that sum, the majority is pure album sales (281,000).

1989's album sales now stand at 2.5 million after five weeks on sale.

The album is also No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, which maintains the old Billboard 200's methodology of ranking pure album sales.

Swift continues to ride high on the Digital Songs chart, where she has two songs in the top 10: "Blank Space" (holding at No. 1, with 342,000 downloads; up 13 percent) and "Shake It Off" (8-10 with 93,000; up 12 percent).

Back on the Billboard 200, a cappella group Pentatonix hits a new high as its album That's Christmas To Me rises 3-2 with 227,000 units. It also climbs 3-2 on Top Album Sales with 217,000 (up 119 percent).

The new Shady XV compilation album arrives at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, with 148,000 units (138,000 album sales). The set celebrates the 15th anniversary of Eminem's Shady Records and its hit singles like 50 Cent's "In Da Club," Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and D12's "Purple Pills."

Shady XV is the second top 10 compilation from Shady Records, following 2006's Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, which debuted and peaked at No. 2.

Last week's Billboard 200 champ, One Direction's Four, slips to No. 4 with 125,000 units in its second week. (Of that sum, 105,000 are album sales -- down 68 percent from its launch of 387,000.)

Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour bounds 11-5 with 123,000 units (97,000 pure album sales).

Rick Ross nabs his seventh consecutive top 10 studio album as Hood Billionaire bows at No. 6 with 79,000 units. On the Top Album Sales chart, it starts at No. 6 as well, with 74,000 copies sold. Hood Billionaire is the rapper's second studio effort in 2014, following the No. 1 debut of Mastermind (179,000 in album sales). His previous set, 2012's God Forgives, I Don't, also started at No. 1 (218,000).

Flying 39-7 on the new Billboard 200 is a clear beneficiary of the chart's new methodology: Ariana Grande's My Everything. It moved 72,000 units for the week, heavily powered not just by album sales (47,000), but also track equivalent albums (19,000) and streaming equivalent albums (6,000).

Had the new Billboard 200's methodology not been in place, My Everything would have ranked at No. 16 (where it stands on the Top Album Sales chart). My Everything has been absent from the top 10 on the Billboard 200 since its third week on the list (dated Sept. 27, when it fell 4-11).

Beyonce's new Beyonce: More Only (EP) struts in at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 71,000 units. The digital set includes only the new bonus material (new songs, remixes and videos) that was added to the deluxe reissue of her self-titled album. The new EP sold 43,000 albums, but also garnered 25,000 in TEA and another 3,000 in SEA.

On the Top Album Sales chart, the Beyonce: More Only (EP) launches at No. 17.

The diva's self-titled album also scoots up both lists, thanks to its expanded reissue. On the Billboard 200, Beyonce rises 199-39 (25,000 units), while on the Top Album Sales chart, it vaults 199-37 (22,000 album sales; up 713 percent).

Closing out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 is the surging Frozen soundtrack (13-9 with 71,000 units) and Maroon 5's V (32-10 with 68,000 units). This is Frozen's first week in the top 10 since the Sept. 20-dated chart. Maroon 5's album charges up the list thanks to sale pricing at retailers during the busy Thanksgiving shopping week (including in the iTunes Store, where it was offered for $6.99).

[ListenToItTwice]

I wish it gave the album sales for #9/10... :(

I don't want to be constantly posting about how much I hate this, so I'll just let everyone know when I stop hating it.

Final edit: Think Adele's post-Grammy spike was huge? Imagine what it would have looked like on this chart.

[Enigma.]

My Everything sold nicely too, it's not just streaming.

No surprises here, 1989 vs Frozen will be tough battle for YE #1

[areyoureadytojump]

So....

For YTD totals for 2014, will SoundScan only count album sales?

Is the albums+streams only a Billboard chart?

[Gary]

Soundscan has had an albums + TEA chart for a while.

It hardly ever makes it online though


The Suondscan YTD albums chart will be a different chart than the albums + TEA chart

[areyoureadytojump]

^Yes, it looks like SoundScan will just use album sales for RTD sales.

Confusing...

[Enigma.]

I think it's wise though, only 1 month left. It'd be different if it was July when this happened

[Gary]

The two charts already exist. So it depends on how you want to look at it. The "biggest selling album" of 2014 will either be Frozen or 1989.

The 'biggest album consumed" in 2014 will be...probably the same thing but in some years could be different.

[HolidayGuy]

Frozen- and those who enjoy it- will not let those top 10 appearances go. :) I'm one of them, and I don't even have a copy of the album yet.

What are those numbers to the far right? No way Sam Hunt's album has sold over 3 million.

Why would you expect RTD numbers for an inaugural chart?

[areyoureadytojump]

^Ok. I get it now.

This is Week 1.

Next week, Week 2, will have RTD numbers.

I hope the old chart leaks.

I believe this is the rest of the list. I compiled it 2 years ago.

Females with most cumulative weeks at #1 on Billboard 200:

46 Weeks- Whitney Houston
30 Weeks- Mariah Carey
28 Weeks- Taylor Swift
26 Weeks- Barbara Streisand
24 Weeks- Adele
19 Weeks- Madonna
19 Weeks- Carole King
15 Weeks- Janet Jackson
15 Weeks- Alanis Morissette
13 Weeks- Judy Garland
12 Weeks- Norah Jones
12 Weeks- Alicia Keys
11 Weeks- Britney Spears

[ificanthaveyou]

Crazy to think Adele could quickly climb that list if her new album has half the success that 21 did.

[👑 Eloquent ™]

After five weeks:

Red - 2.08m
1989 - 2.50m

And how much did Red end 2012 with? :O

"Red" was the 2nd best selling album of 2012 with 3.1 million sold.

Note, listed in this thread now are THREE versions of the BB200, or at least the methodology of historic BB200's


Top Current Albums = the BB200 methodology from 1991- Nov 2009 (sales based and essentially restricting catalog titles by a variety of different rules that evolved over time)

Top Album sales = the BB200 methodlogy from Dec 2009 through Nov 2014 (sales based, no catalog restriction)

and of course the current BB200

Women with most weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart:

Whitney Houston 46
Mariah Carey 30
Taylor Swift 28
Barbra Streisand 26

Whitney's totals seem quite high for her limited number of albums :o
Do they include sales of The Bodyguard? That could explain the high number, but would also be not fully accurate...

[areyoureadytojump]

^Yes, includes The Bodyguard Sdtk.

When the full SS charts use to leak, the album/TEA chart never had RTD figures according to oldbloke.

RTD figures on the leaked charts may be no more.
