www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7557828/lady-gaga-scores-her-fourth-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-chart-joanneLady Gaga Scores Her Fourth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Joanne'10/30/2016 by Keith Caulfield Lady Gaga claims her fourth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Joanne arrives in the pole position. The set earned 201,000 equivalent album units -- a better-than-expected start -- in the week ending Oct. 27, according to Nielsen Music. Joanne was released on Oct. 21 through Streamline/Interscope Records. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Nov. 12-dated chart (where Joanne bows at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Joanne follows Lady Gaga’s previous chart-toppers Cheek to Cheek (with Tony Bennett, in 2014), Artpop (2013) and Born This Way (2011). Joanne's bow of 201,000 units is larger than what industry forecasters estimated. On Oct. 25, sources had pegged the album to start with around 180,000 (and that was an upgrade from 140,000 a few days earlier). The album’s 201,000 launch is the fourth-largest debut of 2016, and the second-biggest for a woman. Ahead of it are Drake’s Views (1.04 million), Beyonce’s Lemonade (653,000) and Frank Ocean’s Blonde (276,000 units). In terms of traditional sales, Joanne sold 170,000 -- the seventh-largest bow of the year, and the second-biggest for a woman. The only larger starts were registered by Drake’s Views (852,000 copies sold), Beyonce’s Lemonade (485,000), Frank Ocean’s Blonde (232,000), David Bowie’s Blackstar (174,000), Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool (173,000) and Blink-182’s California (172,000). Lady Gaga was in full-on promotion mode during the album’s debut week. She performed on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (Oct. 22), sat down for an interview with SiriusXM’s Howard Stern (Oct. 24), took part in James Corden’s popular “Carpool Karaoke” segment of his CBS show The Late Late Show (Oct. 25) and concluded her Bud Light-sponsored dive bar tour in Los Angeles on Oct. 27. Also notable: Gaga is the first woman with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 2010s. She passes Beyonce and Taylor Swift, each with three during the decade. Among all acts, Justin Bieber and Drake lead with six Billboard 200 No. 1's each since 2010, while One Direction and Kanye West each boast four.

Her current contract is over. is that really matter? billboard still count it tho. Im seeing Taylor will always be big as an artist in this decade even without Big Machine sticking around anymore. |

This was an absolutely incredible launch for the album all things considered. I'm wondering if she could have come close to half a mil if she had a huge smash as the lead single?

If Taylor doesn't want to do it, she won't. |

At this point, it is too soon to release a greatest hits album (but I also think it is great if she released her greatest "country" hits album) . What last happnd with artist release a GH with former genre while being so active on current genre? |

^Some artists have complete control over their album releases. Whitney Houston did. She wouldn't let Arista release "Love Whitney" in the USA in 2001.
Considering how much money Taylor has made Big Machine, she may have that power to nix/delay a GH album.

Forgot Drake did so well in his opening. I don't know why I thought he only did about 600K in his first week (traditional sales).
I'm not shocked that Gaga was able to push pass the 200K (SPS), I knew Billboard would be a couple of thousands higher than Hits.

The rest of the Top 10...
Seven Albums Debut in Top 10 of Billboard 200 Chart, Led by Lady Gaga, Michael Buble & Pentatonix
10/30/2016 by Keith Caulfield
The new Billboard 200 album chart’s top 10 is flush with new arrivals, as seven titles arrive in the region.
On the chart dated Nov. 12, the list is led by the debut of Lady Gaga’s Joanne at No. 1, scoring the pop diva her fourth chart-topper. The set earned 201,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Oct. 27, according to Nielsen Music. The set sold 170,000 in traditional album sales.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Nov. 12-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 is Michael Buble’s Nobody But Me, which bows with 91,000 units (85,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the seventh top 10-charting album for Buble, following To Be Loved (No. 1 in 2013), Christmas (No. 1, 2011), Hollywood: The Deluxe EP (No. 10, 2010), Crazy Love (No. 1, 2009), Call Me Irresponsible (No. 1, 2007) and It’s Time (No. 7, 2005).
Vocal group Pentatonix launches at No. 3 with A Pentatonix Christmas, earning 60,000 units (52,000 in traditional album sales). The set marks the sixth top 10 for the act and third holiday album to reach the list (following That’s Christmas to Me in 2014, which peaked at No. 2, and the PTXmas EP in 2013, which peaked at No. 7).
A Pentatonix Christmas also starts at No. 1 on the Holiday Albums chart, the second leader for the group on that tally, after That’s Christmas to Me.
Rock band Korn claims its lucky 13th top 10 album on the Billboard 200, as The Serenity of Suffering starts at No. 4 with 57,000 units (55,000 in pure album sales). The set also hits No. 1 on both the Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts. Among rock bands, Korn’s top 10 count on the Billboard 200 is now equal to Led Zeppelin. The only rock bands with more top 10s are The Rolling Stones (with 36), The Beatles (32), Dave Matthews Band (15), Santana (14) and Van Halen (14).
As the top four on the new Billboard 200 are all debuts, it’s the first time we’ve had the entire top four populated by new entries since the Dec. 5, 2015-dated list. On that chart, Justin Bieber’s Purpose bowed at No. 1, followed by One Direction’s Made in the A.M., Logic’s The Incredible True Story and Lecrae’s Church in These Streets. That was also the last week where the top 10 had as many as seven new arrivals (there were eight debuts in the region that week).
Drake’s Views dips from No. 2 to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 38,000 units (down 4 percent). This is the first week Views has been outside the top four since its No. 1 debut 26 weeks ago.
Chris Tomlin’s Never Lose Sight starts at No. 6 with 32,000 units (30,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the fourth top 10 effort for the singer/songwriter, who last hit the region in 2014 with Love Ran Red (No. 8). He topped the list in 2013 with Burning Lights. The new album also launches at No. 1 on the Christian Albums chart, marking Tomlin’s seventh leader on the list.
Back on the Billboard 200, the Suicide Squad soundtrack falls 3-7 with 31,000 units (down 11 percent) while the Hamilton cast album is pushed down one rung to No. 8 with 30,000 units — though it’s up 30 percent. Hamilton posts a big gain following the premiere of the PBS documentary about the show, Hamilton’s America, on Oct. 21.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s The Ghosts of Christmas Eve debuts at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 with 27,000 units (nearly all from traditional album sales) and starts at No. 2 on both Top Rock Albums and Holiday Albums. On the latter list, it’s the fifth top 10 effort for the act, which has been releasing successful holiday music since 1996’s Christmas Eve and Other Stories. On the Billboard 200, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve gives the ensemble its fourth straight top 10 album, following Letters From the Labyrinth (No. 7 in 2015), Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night) (No. 9, 2012) and Night Castle (No. 5, 2009).
Rounding out the Billboard 200's top 10, singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen nabs his second top 10 with the start of You Want It Darker at No. 10 (25,000 units; 24,000 in traditional album sales). Despite a lengthy career, he first hit the top 10 in 2012 with Old Ideas, which debuted and peaked at No. 3.
Meanwhile, last week’s No. 1, Kings of Leon’s Walls, falls to No. 20 in its second week (18,000 units; down 77 percent). It’s the third album to drop from No. 1 straight out of the top 10 in its second week in 2016. Previously, Gwen Stefani’s This Is What the Truth Feels Like descended 1-17 on the April 16-dated list, and The 1975’s I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It collapsed 1-26 on March 16.

Green Day's Revolution Radio has been a total disaster after the debut... now 10->41
Even Keith Urban's Ripcord is doing better and it's been on chart for 25 weeks
And what's with Kidz Bop suddenly underperforming so much?

As Green Day is an act that doesn't benefit too much from TEA/streaming, a better gauge is Album Sales, where the album is at No. 18 after three weeks- for an act that's been recording for as long as GD has, that's actually not that bad.
The multi-metric chart may be an acceptable gauge of more current acts and how their albums are consumed, but it's not really a practical way to judge performance for all releases.

I get it,, you are not a fan of the BB200 (the weekly comments and the way you do the thread titles - LOL) Due to the streaming services, a growing number of people every year no longer buy albums, to the point where a sales-only measurement is no longer significant, especially for the top of the popularity chart. |

Well, the veteran such as Green Day will be hard to getting new fans (that consume streaming than buying singles, CDs or vinyl) these days, besides trend that tend to pop.

#18 these days is 9600 copies sold, once upon a time, that would not be enough for the top 100.
It is not that there are fewer people listening to music, it is just that they are finding other ways to listen, which makes sales more and more of a non factor with each passing week

Yes- and as trends go, the longer an act has been around, the less they get streamed, the less their individual tracks get purchased. Just the way it goes. The multi-metric chart clearly benefits more current acts, outside of an act passing or some big event.
