'Black Panther: The Album' Spends Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
2/25/2018 by Keith Caulfield

Black Panther: The Album spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, asthe set earned 131,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 22 (down 15 percent), according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 40,000 were in traditional album sales (down 23 percent). A week ago, the album debuted at No. 1 with 154,000 units (52,000 in 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 March 3-dated chart (where Black Panther: The Album spends a second frame at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday, Feb. 27.

Black Panther: The Album — which features music from and inspired by the Marvel Studios film Black Panther — is the second soundtrack to notch two weeks at No. 1 in 2018. It follows The Greatest Showman, which logged two weeks atop the lists dated Jan. 13 and 20. In addition, 2018 is the first year since 2014 where the chart has housed two soundtracks with more than a week at No. 1 each. It last happened with Frozen (14 weeks at No. 1) and Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 (two weeks at No. 1).

Also, with Black Panther: The Album’s modest decline in its second week — down 15 percent to 131,000 units — it earns the biggest second week for a soundtrack since 2015. That year, on the chart dated March 7, the Fifty Shades of Grey album tallied 165,000 units in its second week, after debuting with 258,000 units a week earlier. (Black Panther: The Album's small second-week decline is owed in part to the film's premiere in theaters on Feb. 16 -- the first day of the chart's latest tracking week.)

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Migos’ former leader Culture II rises 4-2 with 64,000 units (down 5 percent), while The Greatest Showman is steady at No. 3 with 61,000 units (down 15 percent).

Rapper Nipsey Hussle debuts at No. 4 with his first studio album, Victory Lap, earning 53,000 units. The set — which also garners him his first ink on the Billboard 200 — is mostly powered by traditional album sales (30,000), but also drew a solid streaming figure (21,000 SEA units). It earned an additional 2,000 in TEA units. Hussle made his Billboard chart debut in 2010 with the song “The Life,” which reached No. 16 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. He’s landed a pair of mixtapes on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart: Crenshaw (No. 61 peak in 2013) and Mailbox Money (No. 18 in 2015).

Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile notches her highest charting album ever on the Billboard 200, as By the Way, I Forgive You debuts at No. 5 with 43,000 units (of which 41,000 are in traditional album sales). The set surpasses her previous high-water mark, logged when The Firewatcher’s Daughter debuted and peaked at No. 9 off a start of 43,000 units in 2015. The new album is the artist’s seventh entry on the tally, dating back to The Story, which reached No. 41 in 2007.

Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods descends 2-6 with 38,000 units (down 50 percent), Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) slips 6-7 with 37,000 units (down 11 percent) and Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. rises 9-8 with just under 33,000 units (up 7 percent).

Rounding out the top 10: Post Malone’s Stoney falls 8-9 with 32,000 units (up less than 1 percent) and the Fifty Shades Freed album falls 5-10 in its second week with 28,000 units (down 52 percent).

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Culture II held up better than expected.

[Gary]

That is all streaming.

Sales-wise it has already pretty much collapsed

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^The Album wasn't expected to be a huge pure seller anyway given that pure sales have been under one-third of its weekly SPS the first two weeks and should become less and less with time. That said, I would expect it to remain in the top 10 the next couple of months given that there not that many noteworthy releases during that period.

[Gary]

1/3 really?

Not sure of this weeks numbers last week sales were 3200 and total units were 68,000

This week with 64,000 units I would assume sales would be less than 1/20th of that

[iHype.]

Rap fans no longer buy albums and Streaming is their complete absolute method of consumption. Eminem not even selling 500K, and is doing mostly streams each week currently. If every hot rapper doing 90% streams wasn't a clue, then that should be the final clue.

I don't think Drake's next album will even do half of Views in pure sales. In terms of SPS it could very well surpass it though.

[TakeMe]

Any news on Tekashi69 Day69 album sales?

[areyoureadytojump]

^Look in the HITS thread. They will be on the 3/10 BB200.

Sales doubled to 6900
So sales is running 1/10th of overalll units

I doubt it would surpass SPS if it only gets half the pure sales. Making up for 426k sales (half of Views) would require 640 million streams on top of however many streams Views got. Even in its best week, God's Plan was only averaging 4.1 million US streams per day, which multiplied by 7 days and 20 tracks would be 574 million streams.

That math is confusing. 

How was God's Plan only averaging 4.1m streams per day at its height when it got 68 million audio streams first week?

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8097485/drake-gods-plan-historic-debut-streaming-charts

Drake blasts in at No. 1 on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart (dated Feb. 3) with "God's Plan," which drew 82.4 million overall U.S. streams in its first week, ending Jan. 25, according to Nielsen Music. Of those, 68 million were via on-demand clicks, marking a new one-week record.

68 million / 7 = 9.7m per day average. 

And for comparison, One Dance, the #1 hit from Views, only got 30 million audio streams at its peak week. 

And I wasn't referring to first week sales/SPS, I was saying it could surpass Views overall SPS. Sorry about that confusion. 

I think his next album most likely will do below Views first week.

[Caviar]

Yes for the receipts

Forgot to add other streaming platforms to God's Plan totals but kworb's numbers have only 28.7 million Spotify US streams for the best week. I'd estimate about 12 million from Youtube (assuming half the total are from US). Once the MV came out though weekly Youtube streams were probably around 40-45 million, and if you add the Spotify Streams that rises to 65 million. Not sure how to account for the difference compared to Billboard's numbers. Are the streams from other platforms that significant?

I think it would need 500k+ pure sales to have a chance at surpassing Views first week but I agree, surpassing Views overall seems possible.

Journey's 'Greatest Hits' Becomes Only Third Album to Spend 500 Weeks on Billboard 200 Chart
3/1/2018 by Keith Caulfield

Journey’s Greatest Hits album becomes just the third album to spend 500 weeks on the 61-year-old Billboard 200 chart, joining Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Legend: The Best Of Bob Marley and The Wailers (510 weeks) and the all-time longevity champ, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (937).

Journey’s Greatest Hits — which rises 108-101 on the March 3-dated chart — debuted on the list dated Dec. 3, 1988 and peaked at No. 10 on Feb. 11, 1989. The album was a fairly consistent fixture on the chart until it departed the list after Oct. 27, 1990.

The set — boasting classic hits like “Open Arms” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” — returned to the list on Dec. 5, 2009. That was the same week the tally changed its rules regarding the chart eligibility of older (catalog) titles (like the Journey set). From May 25, 1991, until Nov. 28, 2009, catalog albums (18-month-old titles that had fallen below No. 100) were generally barred from the Billboard 200. From Dec. 5, 2009-onwards, catalog sets could chart on the Billboard 200 and rack up lengthy runs on the list — unlike earlier albums that were removed from the tally once they turned catalog.

Relatively recent albums that have notched long runs on the list, thanks to the revised chart rules regarding catalog sets, include Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die (306 weeks, released in 2012), Imagine Dragons’ Night Visions (282 weeks, 2012) and Bruno Mars’ 2013 release Unorthodox Jukebox, which celebrates its 200th week on the new tally.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: MAX's 'Hell's Kitchen Angel' Debuts as Hit Single 'Lights Down Low' Continues to Grow
3/1/2018 by Keith Caulfield

Plus: the “Black Panther” score soundtrack arrives, and also opens at No. 1 on the World Albums chart.

On the latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated March 3), Black Panther: The Album held firm atop the tally in its second week on the list, earning 131,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 22, according to Nielsen Music (down just 15 percent). Of that sum, 40,000 were in traditional album sales.

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 rest of the Billboard 200:

— Moneybagg Yo, 2 Heartless & Kodak Black, Heart Break Kodak – Nos. 16 & 25 — On the Billboard 200, Moneybagg Yo’s 2 Heartless (31-16) and Kodak Black’s Heart Break Kodak (48-25) rise after bowing a week earlier from two days of activity (the albums dropped on Feb. 14). With their first full chart week (ending Feb. 22), the sets earn 22,000 units (up 53 percent) and 17,000 units (up 48 percent), respectively, according to Nielsen Music. The rappers both debuted on the list within the past 18 months, and in that time, they’ve notched a total of nine entries.

— Soundtrack, Zombies – No. 55 — The soundtrack to the Disney Channel TV movie Zombies debuts with 10,000 units (7,000 in album sales). It also bows at No. 1 on Kid Albums — the list’s 30th No. 1 soundtrack from Walt Disney Records.

— Soundtrack, Black Panther: Original Motion Picture Score – No. 64 — The Black Panther score soundtrack, composed by Ludwig Göransson, arrives at No. 64 on the Billboard 200 (9,000 units) and also at No. 1 on World Albums (6,000 in sales). The set, which was released on Feb. 15 via Marvel/Hollywood Records, is only the 10th soundtrack to hit No. 1 in the chart’s 27-year history. The tally lists the top selling world music albums of the week — generally defined as the native music of foreign countries. The chart often includes titles featuring Hawaiian, Cuban, Celtic, African, South American and Korean music. For the Black Panther score, Göransson traveled to Africa to research and record the music, working with African percussionists, a 40-person choir and a 132-piece western classical orchestra on the project.

— MAX, Hell’s Kitchen Angel – No. 154 — Nearly two years after MAX released his Hell’s Kitchen Angel album, the set finally makes the Billboard 200, arriving at No. 154. The set, powered by his hit single “Lights Down Low,” earned 5,000 equivalent album units (up 25 percent) in the week ending Feb. 22, according to Nielsen Music.

Hell’s Kitchen Angel was released on April 8, 2016, and debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the Heatseekers Albums chart dated April 30 of that year. The album’s single “Lights Down Low,” featuring gnash, reached its first airplay chart back on Aug. 12, 2017 when the song arrived on the Mainstream Top 40 tally. Now in its 31st week on the list, it climbs to a new high, rising 9-8. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, “Lights” hits the top 20 for the first time, ascending 27-20.

Hell’s Kitchen Angel has earned 166,000 equivalent album units in total, of which just 5,000 are in traditional album sales. Mostly powered by streams, the album has garnered 158.6 million on-demand audio streams for its tracks.

— Prince, The Very Best of Prince & Lionel Richie, The Definitive Collection – Nos. 69 & 184 — An iTunes Store sale promotion on R&B titles yields gains on the Billboard 200 for Prince and Lionel Richie, among others. Following a mark-down to just $4.99, Prince’s The Very Best of Prince re-enters at No. 69 (8,000 units; up 179 percent, 5,000 copies sold; up 345 percent) while Lionel Richie’s The Definitive Collection returns at No. 184 (5,000 units; up 58 percent, 3,000 in album sales; up 148 percent).

— Soundtrack, Coco – No. 185 — Coco climbs back onto the list (5,000 units; up 38 percent) following the digital home video release of its parent film on Feb. 13. The set also jumps 15-10 on Soundtracks and vaults 96-57 on Top Album Sales.

Journey's 'Greatest Hits' Becomes Only Third Album to Spend 500 Weeks on Billboard 200 Chart
3/1/2018 by Keith Caulfield

Journey’s Greatest Hits album becomes just the third album to spend 500 weeks on the 61-year-old Billboard 200 chart, joining Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Legend: The Best Of Bob Marley and The Wailers (510 weeks) and the all-time longevity champ, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (937).

Journey’s Greatest Hits — which rises 108-101 on the March 3-dated chart — debuted on the list dated Dec. 3, 1988 and peaked at No. 10 on Feb. 11, 1989. The album was a fairly consistent fixture on the chart until it departed the list after Oct. 27, 1990.

The set — boasting classic hits like “Open Arms” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” — returned to the list on Dec. 5, 2009. That was the same week the tally changed its rules regarding the chart eligibility of older (catalog) titles (like the Journey set). From May 25, 1991, until Nov. 28, 2009, catalog albums (18-month-old titles that had fallen below No. 100) were generally barred from the Billboard 200. From Dec. 5, 2009-onwards, catalog sets could chart on the Billboard 200 and rack up lengthy runs on the list — unlike earlier albums that were removed from the tally once they turned catalog.

Relatively recent albums that have notched long runs on the list, thanks to the revised chart rules regarding catalog sets, include Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die (306 weeks, released in 2012), Imagine Dragons’ Night Visions (282 weeks, 2012) and Bruno Mars’ 2013 release Unorthodox Jukebox, which celebrates its 200th week on the new tally.

Interesting but at best...a tainted statistic

^Guns 'n Roses Greatest Hits is in line to become the next album to reach the milestone. I agree that many more albums could have reached it by now if the rule that created the Top Pop Catalog Albums hadn't come into effect in 1991.

Garth Brooks would be on the chart forever.

probably not

His early albums went out of print in its original form -- to come back again later in "limited edition" box sets - then to be pulled again and reissued later

A master of manipulating the market

I need to buy a bigger house because of ALL the editions of Garth Brooks CDs that are out there. In reality, I have everything of his-just once.

^I mean, I'm pretty sure every artist (even those that really heavily on streaming or have niche audiences) do sell some albums each week. But probably not enough to continue to chart in the Billboard 200. Although somebody like Drake could stick around for a long time due to streaming ...

BTW, I got The Chase digitally from Amazon for free last year. That's the only thing I own from him.
