NF Scores First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Perception'
10/16/2017 by Keith Caulfield

Plus: Lil Pump & Marilyn Manson debut in top 10; Kane Brown bolts 56-5.

Rapper NF notches his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart -- and first top 10 -- as his third full-length studio album, Perception, debuts atop the list. The set was released on Oct. 6 through NF Real Music/Capitol/Caroline and starts with 55,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 12, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 38,000 were in traditional album sales -- NF’s best sales week yet.

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 Oct. 28-dated chart (where Perception debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Twenty-six-year-old NF (real name Nate Feuerstein) tops the list following initial industry forecasts suggesting he was vying for No. 1 with an estimated start of 50,000 alongside Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ Greatest Hits and Lil Pump’s debut self-titled album. NF comes out on top by a sizable gap ahead of Petty at No. 2 (55,000 vs. 47,000) thanks to better-than-expected sales for Perception, aided in part by direct-to-consumer offers via NF’s official website.

Still, Perception’s launch is the smallest for a No. 1-debuting album in 2017 and the fifth-smallest unit total for a No. 1 album overall since the chart began ranking titles by consumption units in late 2014. (More on that in just a moment…)

NF made his Billboard album chart debut in 2014 with his self-titled EP, charting on multiple tallies including Rap Albums (No. 15) but not the Billboard 200. He arrived on the big chart with his 2015 release Mansion (reaching No. 62). He followed it up with 2016’s No. 12-peaking Therapy Session, which started with 29,000 units in its first week (25,000 were in album sales). The album has sold 122,000 copies, while Mansion has sold 136,000 and his self-titled EP has sold 33,000. In total, NF’s catalog of music has generated more than a 500 million on-demand streams in the U.S. (audio and video streams combined).

NF is also just the second act in 2017 to reach No. 1 without ever charting a song on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, following alternative rock band Brand New. The latter saw its Science Fiction launch atop the Billboard 200 dated Sept. 9 with 58,000 units.

It’s probably then not surprising that, given the limited mainstream exposure of both acts (as evidenced by their lack of Hot 100 hits), both Perception and Science Fiction bowed with the two smallest openings -- by units earned -- for a No. 1-debuting album in 2017. Both acts were able to debut at No. 1 -- despite their small unit starts -- thanks to dedicated fan bases and little competition in the marketplace during their respective release weeks.

NF’s Perception opens at No. 1 following four straight frames where the top slot hosted a new album that bowed with more than 100,000 units earned (Perception was preceded by Shania Twain’s Now, The Killers’ Wonderful Wonderful, Foo Fighters’ Concrete and Gold and Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes, respectively). Many big albums were issued in September in order to qualify for the upcoming Grammy Awards, as Sept. 30 was the deadline for new releases to be considered for the 2017 eligibility year.

NF is also the 13th act to notch their first No. 1 album in 2017, following The Killers, Thomas Rhett, LCD Soundsystem, Lil Uzi Vert (with his first studio album), Brand New, Lorde, Halsey, Bryson Tiller, Harry Styles (with his debut effort), Logic, The Chainsmokers and Migos. (In all of 2016, there were 11 acts that scored their first No. 1.)

As noted above, Petty and The Heartbreakers’ Greatest Hits holds at No. 2 for a second week, earning 47,000 units (down 44 percent) and selling 29,000 in traditional album sales (down 45 percent). The album re-entered the chart a week ago, at its new peak, following the death of Petty on Oct. 2.

Rapper Lil Pump premieres at No. 3 with his self-titled debut effort, earning 46,000 units (just 6,000 in traditional album sales). The effort was powered largely by streams, as the title earned 38,000 SEA units (equating to 56.8 million on demand audio streams of the album’s tracks). A further 2,000 were generated by TEA units. To put Lil Pump’s streaming figure in perspective, the album would have still debuted in the top 10 without any traditional album sales or TEA units. Lil Pump’s album was led by the hit single “Gucci Gang,” which currently ranks at No. 12 on the Hot Rap Songs chart (dated Oct. 21).

Post Malone’s Stoney hits a new chart high -- and the top five for the first time -- after 44 weeks on the list, as the album rises 6-4 with 45,000 units (up 7 percent). The set debuted and initially peaked at No. 6 on Dec. 31, 2016-dated chart and has never left the top 25. The album’s top five ascent comes concurrent with the success non-album cut “Rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage, as well as the surprise viral hit of the Stoney track “I Fall Apart.”

Stoney’s slow rise to the top five is the longest climb to the top five for a continuously charting album in over nine years, since Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black reached the top five in its 49th week. (Back to Black debuted at No. 7 on the March 31, 2007-dated chart, and then lingered in the top 100 until almost a full year later, when it zoomed 24-2 on the March 1, 2008-dated chart after Winehouse won five Grammy Awards at the Feb. 10 ceremony, including best new artist, record of the year and song of the year.)

Kane Brown’s self-titled album also hits a new peak on the new Billboard 200, following its deluxe reissue on Oct. 6. The set zooms 56-5 with 43,000 units (up 332 percent) and 26,000 in traditional album sales (up 1,163 percent). The LP -- which initially debuted and peaked at No. 10 on the Dec. 24, 2016-dated list with 51,000 units -- was reissued on Oct. 6 with a handful of bonus tracks. On the Oct. 21-dated Hot Country Songs chart, the its “What If’s,” featuring Lauren Alaina, become brown’s first No. 1. (The song was on the original version of the album.)

A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s The Bigger Artist slips 4-6 in its second week on the chart (39,000 units; down 42 percent), while Lil Uzi Vert’s former No. 1, Luv Is Rage 2, holds steady at No. 7 (37,000 units; down 9 percent).

Marilyn Manson debuts at No. 8 with Heaven Upside Down (35,000 units; 32,000 in traditional album sales), granting the rock act his ninth top 10 effort (and seventh in a row). Manson has been on a top 10 roll since 2003, when The Golden Age of Grotesque bowed at No. 1 (the act’s second leader, following 1998’s Mechanical Animals). Following Golden, he hit the top 10 successively with Lest We Forget: The Best Of (No. 9 in 2004), Eat Me, Drink Me (No. 8, 2007), The High End of Low (No. 4, 2009), Born Villain (No. 10, 2012), The Pale Emperor (No. 8, 2015) and now Heaven Upside Down. Before Mechanical Animals, Manson notched one more top 10 with Antichrist Superstar (No. 3 in 1996).

Rounding out the top 10, Imagine Dragons’ Evolve descends one rung to No. 9 with 34,000 units (down 11 percent) and Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) is stationary at No. 10 with 32,000 units (up 3 percent).

NF is such an amazing artist, glad he gets what he deserves.

Anyone know why they took so long to post the article?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^My guess is "direct-to-consumer offers via NF’s official website". BTW, that means DAMN. is finally out of the top 10.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Stone Temple Pilots' 'Core' Reissue Hits Top 40
By Keith Caulfield | October 20, 2017 9:32 PM EDT

Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the action on the latest Billboard 200 chart:

— Shania Twain, Now – No. 29 — Following the diva’s No. 1 debut a week ago with Now, the album tumbles to No. 29 in its second week with 15,000 units (down 89 percent), of which 14,000 were in traditional album sales (down 90 percent). The collapse, which is the chart’s largest positional fall from No. 1 by a woman (but not the largest by any act), is owed to how Now’s first-week was boosted by a concert/ticket album sale redemption promotion. The purchase price of each ticket sold to her upcoming tour included the album, which was made available to customers who can choose to redeem the album and have it sent to them. The only sales that count towards the charts are those albums that are redeemed by customers. Many ticket buyers never redeem the offer.

Because most ticket buyers usually take advantage of these ticket/album sale redemption offers in an album’s first week of release, albums offered with a bundle tend to erode dramatically in their second week -- like what happened with Now. We’ve seen this happen numerous times in 2017 with hard falls by an array of No. 1 debuting albums that had their debut weeks goosed by ticket/album sale redemption offers. The Killers’ Wonderful Wonderful fell 1-59, LCD Soundsystem’s American Dream dropped 1-56, Arcade Fire’s Everything Now collapsed 1-38, and so forth. So far in 2017, 11 albums debuted at No. 1 and fell straight out of the top 10 in their second week -- and many were titles enhanced by a ticket/album bundle offer.

— Liam Gallagher, As You Were – No. 30 — The former Oasis frontman’s debut solo album, As You Were, arrives at No. 30 with 15,000 units (14,000 in traditional album sales). The set also launches at No. 5 on Top Rock Albums and No. 3 on Alternative Albums.

— Jeremy Camp, The Answer - No. 33 — The singer-songwriter collects his 10th charting album on the Billboard 200 with The Answer, which bows at No. 33 with 13,000 units (12,000 in traditional album sales). It’s also Camp’s sixth top 40-charting effort.

Over on the Top Christian Albums chart, The Answer starts at No. 2, giving Camp his 11th top 10 set on the list.

— Stone Temple Pilots, Core – No. 39 — Stone Temple Pilots’ breakthrough debut album, Core, returns to the top 40, as it flies 173-39 following its 25th anniversary deluxe reissue on Oct. 6. (All versions of the album, old and new, are tracked together for sales and charting purposes.) The set earned 12,000 units (up 153 percent), with 11,000 of that sum in traditional album sales (up 259 percent). The album, which was released in October 1992, didn’t reach the Billboard 200 chart until the Jan. 9, 1993-dated tally, where it entered at No. 170. It then climbed to its peak of No. 3 on July 3, and spent nearly a full year inside the weekly top 40. The album remains the band’s biggest selling effort, with 5.14 million copies sold.

Core spun off four hit singles: “Sex Type Thing” (No. 23 peak on Mainstream Rock Songs), “Plush” (No. 1 on Mainstream Rock, No. 9 on Alternative Songs, No. 18 on Pop Songs, No. 39 on Radio Songs), “Wicked Garden” (No. 11 on Mainstream Rock, No. 21 on Alternative Songs) and “Creep” (No. 2 on Mainstream Rock, No. 12 on Alternative Songs, No. 59 on Radio Songs).

— The Replacements, For Sale: Live at Maxwell’s 1986 – No. 52 — The alternative rock band claims its highest charting album ever with this archival live effort (10,000 units earned; 9,000 from album sales). It surpasses the No. 57 peak of 1989’s Don’t Tell a Soul.

— Soundtrack, Blade Runner 2049 – No. 53 — The soundtrack to the Blade Runner sequel starts at No. 53 with 10,000 units (8,000 in album sales). It also bows at No. 2 on the Soundtracks chart (stuck behind the sturdy Moana soundtrack, which rules the list for a 25th week).
