Jill Scott Scores Her Second No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
By Keith Caulfield | August 03, 2015

Jill Scott celebrates her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as her latest effort, Woman, debuts atop the list. The set starts at No. 1 on the chart dated Aug. 15 with 62,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 30, according to Nielsen Music.

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 Aug. 15-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s Web sites on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Apple Music has been added as a streaming provider to the Billboard 200, as well as the Billboard Hot 100, other hybrid songs charts and streaming-only charts. The panel of streaming providers that contribute to the Billboard 200 now includes Amazon Prime, Apple Music, Beats Music, Google Play, Medianet, Rdio, Rhapsody, Slacker, Tidal, Spotify and Groove Music Pass (formerly Xbox Music).

Woman is Scott’s fifth studio album, and it sold 58,000 in pure album sales. It follows her chart-topping The Light of the Sun, released in 2011 (133,000 copies sold in its first week). Woman was released on Scott’s Blues Babe imprint, through Atlantic Records.

Scott is the first solo woman to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in nearly five months. The last to do so was Kelly Clarkson, on the chart dated March 21, when her Piece By Piece album debuted at No. 1. Since then, the top of the chart has also seen female-led No. 1s from the groups Alabama Shakes (Sound & Color) and Florence + The Machine (How Big How Blue How Beautiful).

Further, Woman ends a dry spell for female R&B singers at the top of the chart. Scott is the first R&B songstress to lead the list in a year and seven months, since Beyonce’s self-titled album spent its third and final week at No. 1 (on the chart dated Jan. 11, 2014).

Scott’s second No. 1 comes almost exactly 15 years after she debuted on the Billboard 200 with her first album, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1. It debuted on the Aug. 5, 2000-dated chart at No. 168, on its way to a No. 17 peak the following year (March 24, 2001).

Last week’s No. 1, Future’s DS2, slips to No. 2 in its second week with 52,000 units (down 65 percent).

Rock band Lamb of God tallies its fourth top 10 album, as VII: Sturm Und Drang debuts at No. 3 with 50,000 units (pure album sales equal 47,000). The group previously earned top 10s with 2012’s Resolution (No. 3 debut and peak), 2009’s Wrath and 2006’s Sacrament (No. 8).

Taylor Swift’s 1989 hangs out in the top 10 for a 40th straight week (its entire chart run), as the set descends 2-4 with 47,000 units (down 8 percent).

The soundtrack to the boxing drama Southpaw punches in at No. 5 on the new Billboard 200 chart with 45,000 equivalent units (of that, 32,000 were pure album sales). The rap-fueled collection features the likes of Eminem, The Weeknd, The Notorious B.I.G. and the film’s co-star 50 Cent. Southpaw is the seventh soundtrack to reach the top 10 in 2015, following Into the Woods, Fifty Shades of Grey, Empire, Furious 7, Pitch Perfect 2, Teen Beach 2 and Magic Mike XXL. (Comparably, only five soundtracks visited the top 10 in 2014. Among those five is the Frozen soundtrack, which actually spent its first week within the region in 2013.)

Ed Sheeran’s x rises 8-6 with 34,000 units (up 5 percent) in its 58th week on the tally.

Sixteen-year-old singer Bea Miller arrives at No. 7 with her full-length debut album, Not An Apology (33,000 units, of which 24,000 are pure album sales). Not An Apology is Miller’s second trip to the Billboard 200, following her Young Blood EP that peaked at No. 64 a little over a year ago (May 10, 2014-dated chart).

The new album’s single “Fire N Gold” is bubbling under the threshold of the Pop Songs airplay chart, and could debut on the tally in the coming weeks.

Miller was previously a contestant on The X Factor in 2012. The following year, she became the first signing in a collaborative deal between SYCO and Hollywood Records.

Rounding out the top 10 is Meek Mill’s former No. 1, Dreams Worth More Than Money (7-8 with 31,000 units; down 21 percent), Sam Hunt’s Montevallo (holding at No. 9 with 27,000 units; down 7 percent) and Tyrese’s Black Rose (3-10 with 26,000 units; down 49 percent).

Congrats Jill!

It's weeks like this one in which I wish Billboard was more transparent with its data. It's unclear what impact, if any, Apple had on most of the albums**. Several of the Billboard SPS totals are actually less than those reported by HDD (which, to my knowledge, wasn't using Apple data), and that makes the whole thing really weird.

Granted, it takes 1.5M streams to generate 1K album sales, so you probably shouldn't see a HUGE impact.  But still - I'd be very curious to know what the actual impact is.

**The only real disparities are the Bea and Southpaw albums, but we've established that Hits was wrong about Bea's track sales, and only God knows why they gave Southpaw no TEA or SEA credit whatsoever.

Go Jill!

[Enigma.]

I'm constantly amazed by the success of X and Montevallo, especially the latter. He has only had one top 20 hit so far but the album keeps on floating.

What I want to know is the future release dates of the 4th Quarter "super stars."

We have Luke Bryan out on Friday. A 400k+ debut.

After that... Nothing on the radar.

When will Kanye get a release date? Drake? Rihanna? Carrie Underwood? The rumored Jay Z/Beyonce album?

Will Lil Wayne be able to get his long delayed album out?

The music industry seems to very lazy recently.

We had a busy 1st and 2nd Quarter and now the 3rd Quarter is boring as hell.

Anyone know what that's about?  The album is available for streaming and individual track purchases, so I'm not sure why its total is 100% pure sales.

Also:

Alan Jackson - 18K pure sales
Ashley Monroe - 12K pure sales
Jason Isbell - 10K pure sales

Ewww... Hopefully never

Dr. Dre.

Bieber will release something very soon. The single drops later this month so his album will be released in Q4

Metal By Numbers 8/4: Lamb of God sturm the charts
Posted by Matt Brown on August 4, 2015

There aren’t too many bonafide metal bands you can depend on to make a bloody splash on the , but for the past decade or so Lamb of God have proven over and over again that they are indeed one of those bands. And it’s only fitting that the highly anticipated album should be accompanied by a robust debut lineup in this week’s edition of Metal By Numbers. Of course, this isn’t the only Lamb of God related release we expect to see topping the charts this year, so there’s plenty more to come.

Notable Debuts:

Lamb of God, VII: Sturm Und Drang (Epic) #2, 47,175 sold

Lamb of God make a triumphant return with yet another album debuting in the top 3.



We Came As Romans, We Came As Romans (Equal Vision) #8, 22,600 sold

The band’s self-titled fourth album is the second-best debut of their career so far.



Joe Satriani, Shockwave Supernova (Legacy) #19, 9,825 sold

Satch nabs his highest debut spot since 1992’s The Extremist.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Maroon 5's 'V' Becomes Band's Fifth Million-Selling Album
By Keith Caulfield | August 07, 2015

On the latest Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 15), Jill Scott celebrated her second No. 1 album as Woman bowed atop the list. The set moved 62,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 30, 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 Aug. 15 chart:

— Maroon 5, V - No. 18: The group’s V album surpassed 1 million copies sold in the week ending July 30, as the set moved another 6,000 (bringing its total just over the million mark). V was released on Sept. 2, 2014, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the bands second chart-topping album. The set has spawned three top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: “Maps” (No. 6 peak on Aug. 9, 2014), “Animals” (No. 3; Nov. 11, 2014) and “Sugar” (No. 2; March 28, 2015). The album was reissued on May 15, adding the new single “This Summer’s Gonna Hurt…” That track peaked at No. 23 on the Hot 100 on June 27.

On the latest Billboard 200 chart, V slips 16-18 in its 48th week on the list.

V is Maroon 5’s fifth album to sell a million copies -- and now all five of their studio albums have reached the milestone. Their biggest selling effort remains their 2002 debut, Songs About Jane, which has sold 5.1 million. In total, Maroon 5 has sold 12.9 million albums in the U.S.

— Joe Satriani, Shockwave Supernova – No. 46: The guitarist collects his 16th charting album with the arrival of Shockwave Supernova at No. 46 (10,000 units overall; just under 10,000 sold in pure album sales). On the Hard Rock Albums chart, the new effort bows at No. 3.

— Gaelic Storm, Matching Sweaters - No. 61: The Celtic band notches its highest charting album yet, as Matching Sweaters starts at No. 61 (9,000 units, nearly all from album sales). They previously peaked at No. 73, twice, with 2010’s Cabbage and 2012’s Chicken Boxer. On the World Albums chart, the band earns its sixth No. 1 (all consecutive) with Matching Sweaters’ chart-topping arrival. Gaelic Storm has the fifth-most No. 1s in the 25-year history of the chart, behind Celtic Thunder (12), Celtic Woman (10), Gipsy Kings (eight) and The Chieftains (seven).

The World Albums chart tallies the top selling world music albums of the week. World music is any native music of foreign countries. The chart can include titles that feature Cuban, Celtic, Korean and South American music, among other genres, as well as Hawaiian music.

— Lana Del Rey, Born To Die – No. 54: As the singer prepares for the release of her forthcoming album, Honeymoon, her major label full-length debut set Born To Die rises up the chart. Born climbs 82-54 with the largest unit gain on the list (up by almost 3,000). A release date for Honeymoon has yet to be announced, but Del Rey will release a new single from the set, titled “High By the Beach,” on Aug. 10.

— Lynyrd Skynyrd, One More For the Fans – No. 81: The veteran rock band is celebrated by a cavalcade of guest stars on this new live set, which was recorded last year. Joining Lynyrd Skynyrd on the album are the likes of Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Alabama and Trace Adkins. The album was recorded and filmed on Nov. 12, 2014 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, and the show made its broadcast premiere on July 19 on AXS.

[Gary]

I see how this was updated on the billboard.com site but the .biz charts are unchanged

[HolidayGuy]

And here we figured there'd be no revisions...

[rimetm]

At least, as I surmised, it wasn't a recalculation (like it was for the previous articles changing before the chart post) but rather a question of eligibility (otherwise, we would've seen a ton of chart positions change, especially considering how tight margins get past the top 75).

[HolidayGuy]

Yes. One missing piece is better than a recalculation. :)

[graffeodl]

Does anyone know if that EP that got added to the BB200 would have also been included in Top Current Albums?
