Jonas Brothers' 'Happiness Begins' Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart With Biggest Week of 2019

6/17/2019 by Keith Caulfield

It’s the pop trio’s third No. 1 album. Plus: Santana, Luke Combs, Future & Polo G debut in top 10.

Jonas Brothers celebrate their third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as Happiness Begins bows atop the chart. The set earned 414,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 13, of which 357,000 were in album sales. Both figures represent the largest week of the year for any album in terms of units and album sales.

Happiness Begins was released June 7 via Republic Records and is the pop trio’s first studio album since 2009’s chart-topping Lines, Vines and Trying Times.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new June 22-dated chart (where Happiness debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on June 18.

In total, Happiness Begins’ starting sum of 414,000 equivalent album units are comprised of 357,000 in album sales, 52,000 in SEA units and 5,000 in TEA units.

Let’s take a look at some of the notable achievements the Jonas Brothers claim with the bow of Happiness Begins:

Biggest Week of 2019 for an Album: Happiness Begins launches with 414,000 equivalent album units, the biggest week of 2019 for any album. The last album to post a larger week was Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V (also released via Republic Records), which started at No. 1 on the Oct. 13, 2018-dated chart with 480,000 units earned. (Happiness surpasses 2019’s previous high-water mark for an album, when Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next -- another Republic title -- bowed at No. 1 with 360,000 units on the Feb. 23 chart.)

Largest Sales Week for an Album in More Than a Year: Of Happiness’ debut-week units, album sales comprise 357,000 of that sum. That’s the largest sales week for an album since Taylor Swift’s reputation blew in with 1.22 million sold on the Dec. 2, 2017, chart. Happiness’ first-week sales were largely powered by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with more than 60 dates of the group’s upcoming U.S. arena tour.

Jonas Brothers’ Biggest Sales Week in More Than a Decade: The last Jonas Brothers album to log a larger sales week than Happiness was A Little Bit Longer, which bowed with 525,000 sold on the Aug. 30, 2008-dated list (at No. 1).

Biggest Week for a Pop Album Since 2017: The last pop album to tally a larger week in total units was Swift’s reputation, when it bowed with 1.24 million equivalent album units earned (Dec. 2, 2017 chart).

Largest Week for an Album by a Group in More Than 3 Years: One has to scroll all the way back to the debut frame of One Direction’s Made in the A.M. to find a larger week racked up by an album from a group; the set started at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 dated Dec. 5, 2015, with 459,000 units. (Happiness also has the biggest sales week for an album by a group since Made in the A.M., as it bowed with 402,000 copies sold.)

Biggest Streaming Album of the Week: Happiness debuts with 52,000 in SEA units, which translates to 68.09 million on-demand audio streams for its songs in its first week. That makes it the album with the most streams for the week.

Happiness Begins was led by the single “Sucker,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart March 16 and marked the act’s first No. 1 on the tally. The track has also ruled the all-format Radio Songs chart for six weeks, as of the most recently published chart (dated June 15). A second radio-promoted single, “Cool,” has also reached the top 40 of both lists.

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Billie Eilish’s former No. 1 When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? holds in the runner-up slot with 59,000 equivalent album units (down 6%). The album has yet to depart the top four rungs of the chart since its debut 11 weeks ago at No. 1.

Santana collects its 15th top 10 album, as Africa Speaks debuts at No. 3 on the new Billboard 200 chart with 57,000 equivalent album units earned (nearly all from album sales). The rock band, led by Carlos Santana, first visited the top 10 nearly 50 years ago, when the act’s self-titled album climbed 13-10 on the Oct. 25, 1969-dated list. The album would later peak at No. 4 (Nov. 15, 1969).

Like Jonas Brothers’ Happiness Begins, the debut sales frame for Africa Speaks was also driven by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer.

Next up, Luke Combs’ The Prequel EP drives in at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 48,000 equivalent album units -- with 22,000 of that sum in album sales. The Prequel is Combs’ second top 10 effort and matches the peak position of his other top 10 set, the full-length effort This One’s for You, which topped out at No. 4 (June 16, 2018).

The new five-song EP contains Combs’ current hit single “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” which has so far peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and at No. 10 on the Country Airplay list (as of the most recently published lists, dated June 15).

Future nets his 12th top album, as his new EP Save Me starts at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 42,000 equivalent album units (with 5,000 of that sum in album sales). The seven-track set follows his last full-length project, the chart-topping Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD, which started at No. 1 on the list dated Feb. 2.

The fifth and final debut in the Billboard 200’s new top 10 belongs to Polo G’s debut album Die a Legend. The effort — led by the top 10 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs hit “Pop Out,” featuring Lil Tjay — enters at No. 6 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (of which a little under 1,000 were in album sales). The set’s start was powered almost entirely by streaming activity, as the album generated nearly 37,000 SEA units (with the rest – 1,000 units, spread across both album sales and TEA units).

Rounding out the rest of the new top 10 on the Billboard 200: Khalid’s Free Spirit dips 4-7 (36,000 units; down 5%), DJ Khaled’s Father of Asahd slips 3-8 (31,000 units; down 22%), DaBaby’s Baby On Baby falls 8-9 (29,000 units; down 6%) and Elton John’s Diamonds descends 7-10 (nearly 29,000 units; down 10%).

Week 1: 136,000
Week 2: 58,000
Week 3: 39,000
Week 4: 31,000

Total: 264,000

You also add units for "No Brainer" and "Top Off", and I think you get over 400,000. Then you have to consider there were bundle units Billboard didn't count that the RIAA might.

[shayonce]

such a shame. Billboard doesn't even mention Bundle on their article when it probably has like 300k bundle.
okay, they mentioned ticket/album sale redemption offer, still no D2C (merchandise bundle) tho.

Luke Combs Leads Top Country Albums Chart With 'The Prequel' EP

6/18/2019 by Jim Asker

The set starts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

Luke Combs' new five-track EP The Prequel roars in atop Billboard's Top Country Albums chart (dated June 22), earning 48,000 equivalent album units in its first week, ending June 13, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 22,000 copies are from traditional album sales; the set earned 25.3 million on-demand audio streams for its songs in its debut frame.

Concurrently, Combs' 2017 debut LP This One's for You holds at No. 2 on Top Country Albums (27,000 units, up 4%). The set has logged 37 weeks at No. 1 on the list, the fourth-longest rule in the chart's 55-year history.

Combs is the first artist to claim the Nos. 1 and 2 spots simultaneously on Top Country Albums since Chris Stapleton on Feb. 17, 2018, when From A Room: Volume 2 governed the chart as Traveller placed at No. 2.

On the all-genre Billboard 200, Prequel starts at No. 4, tying Combs' best rank; This One's for You reached No. 4 in June 2018.

Meanwhile, Prequel lead single "Beer Never Broke My Heart" rises 2-1 on Country Streaming Songs, up 19% to 13 million streams. Combs collects his second No. 1 on the chart, after "Beautiful Crazy" dominated for 13 weeks starting March 2. "Beer" bumps 5-3 on the airplay-, streaming- and sales-based Hot Country Songs chart, reaching a new high, and 10-9 on Country Airplay, up 9% to 24.8 million audience impressions.

Combs also controls Country Digital Song Sales with Prequel track "Even Though I'm Leaving," which bows with 22,000 sold. He adds his third No. 1 and second to start at the pinnacle. "Beer" topped the May 25 tally and "Beautiful Crazy" led for seven weeks, starting with its arrival at the apex on May 19, 2018.

Scott Moffat produced Prequel and Combs co-wrote all five songs.

Juice WRLD's latest already out of top 20, there went his time at the top of pop charts it seems. No top 20 hits out of the album either.

Santana's 'Africa Speaks' Debuts at No. 1 On Top Latin Albums Chart

6/19/2019 by Pamela Bustios

The set logs the biggest week of 2019 for a Latin album.

Santana crowns the Top Latin Albums chart as the band returns with Africa Speaks, its 25th studio album, which debuts at No. 1 on the June 22-dated chart. It also launches at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 -- the group's highest-charting effort on that list since 2015's No. 2-peaking All That I Am.

“It is an honor to share my heart’s music with the world,” the band's leader Carlos Santana tells Billboard of the new album. “This music gives people hope and courage. We call it mystical medicine music for a twisted, crooked world.”

Africa Speaks earned 57,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending June 13, according to Nielsen Music. Its starting sum represents the biggest week for any Latin album in 2019, and the largest since the charts began ranking albums by equivalent album units in late 2014.

Nearly all of Africa Speaks' overall starting sum was comprised of album sales -- the biggest sales week for a Latin album since Romeo Santos' Formula: Vol. 2 bowed with 85,000 on the March 15, 2014-dated list. (Africa Speaks' big week was driven by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with the act's summer tour.)

The band was last No. 1 on Top Latin Albums with Corazon, which spent six weeks atop the list in 2014.

Africa Speaks was released June 7 via Starfaith/Suretone/Concord and produced by Rick Rubin. The album features vocals by Spanish singer Buika, who is also credited as one of the writers of the album, British singer Laura Mvula, as well as Cindy Blackman Santana, Carlos Santana’s wife, on drums.

“The incredible synergy between Buika, Cindy Blackman Santana, the magnificent Santana Band, Rick Rubin and Concord Records made this masterpiece of joy come to fruition,” Santana adds. “Now more than ever, this is the consciousness that the world needs.”

The 11-track African Speaks set also launches at No. 1 on Latin Pop Albums, Latin Album Sales, Top Rock Albums and World Albums.

Almighty’s Maiden Visit: Meanwhile, Puerto Rican rapper Almighty, scores his first Latin Rhythm Albums chart top 10 as La BESTia debuts at No. 9.

Almighty is the sixth act to notch its first top 10 in its first chart visit in 2019. He follows Bad Bunny who secured his first top 10 in his first visit when X100Pre opened at No. 1 on the Jan. 5-dated chart, Natti Natasha’ IllumiNatti (March 2, No. 3), Sech’s Sueños (May 4, No. 6), Dalexx's Climaxxx (May 25, No. 8) and Paulo Londra’s Homerun (June 8, No. 10).

La BESTia secures a top 10 debut with 3,000 equivalent album units collected in the week ending June 13, with most of its initial sum generated by streaming activity.

The album concurrently arrives at No. 12 on the Top Latin Albums chart.
