21 Savage & Metro Boomin’s ‘Savage Mode II’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart


Rapper 21 Savage and producer Metro Boomin’s third collaborative album, Savage Mode II, bows atop the Billboard 200 chart, earning 171,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 8, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

The album launches with the biggest week, in terms of overall units earned, for either artist. It also marks the second No. 1 for both acts, though, it’s the pair’s first of three co-billed sets to hit No. 1.

Of Savage Mode II’s 171,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Oct. 8, SEA units comprise 148,000 (equaling 200.1 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales total 22,000 (helped in part by merchandise/album bundles) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Savage Mode II marks the fourth top 10 for 21 Savage, and second No. 1, following I Am > I Was (No. 1 in 2019), Without Warning (a collaborative set credited to 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin, No. 4 in 2017) and Issa Album (No. 2 in 2017).

For Metro Boomin, Savage Mode II is also his fourth top 10 and second No. 1, following Not All Heroes Wear Capes (No. 1 in 2018), Double or Nothing (a co-billed project with Big Sean, No. 6 in 2017) and Without Warning.

---

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, BLACKPINK’s debut full-length The Album enters with 110,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that figure, 81,000 are from album sales (boosted by merchandise/album bundles, as well as many variants of the album released on CD), 26,000 from SEA units (equaling 40.3 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs) and 2,000 from TEA units.

The South Korean quartet previously placed two top 40-charting EPs on the chart with Kill This Love (No. 24 in 2019) and Square Up (No. 40 in 2018). The Album marks the highest-charting album by an all-female group since Danity Kane’s second album Welcome to the Dollhouse debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated April 5, 2008. The Album additionally is the highest-charting debut full-length album by an all-female group since Danity Kane’s self-titled effort opened at No. 1 on Sept. 9, 2006.


Pop Smoke’s former No. 1 Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon climbs one spot to No. 3 with 68,000 equivalent album units earned (down 4%).

YG nabs his fifth top 10 album, as My Life 4Hunnid bows at No. 4 with 64,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that total, 47,000 are from album sales (aided in part by merchandise/album bundles), 17,000 from SEA units (equaling 23.1 million in on-demand streams of the album’s tracks) and a negligible sum from TEA units.

My Life 4Hunnid is YG’s highest charting album since My Krazy Life debuted and peaked at No. 2 (April 5, 2014). He has also visited the top 10 with Still Brazy (No. 6, 2018), Stay Dangerous (No. 5, 2018) and 4Real 4Real (No. 7, 2019).


Bryson Tiller captures his third total and consecutive top 10 album, as Anniversary debuts at No. 5 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned. That sum comprises 52,000 in SEA units (equaling 68.6 million in on-demand streams of the album’s songs), 4,000 in album sales and 1,000 in TEA units. Tiller previously hit the top 10 with his No. 1 album True to Self (2017) and Trapsoul (No. 8 in 2016).

Machine Gun Kelly’s Tickets to My Downfall drops 1-6 in its second week on the list, earning 56,000 equivalent album units (down 56%).

LANY scores its highest charting album, and first top 10, as the trio’s Mama’s Boy bows at No. 7 with 55,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that figure, 46,000 are from album sales (assisted by merchandise/album bundles), 9,000 from SEA units (equating to 11.5 million in on-demand streams of the album’s songs) and a negligible sum from TEA units.

LANY had previously charted as high as No. 32 with its self-titled album in 2017. A follow-up, 2018’s Malibu Nights, debuted and peaked at No. 36.


Rounding out the new top 10 are a trio of former No. 1s: Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die dips 6-8 (46,000 equivalent album units earned; down 4%), YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Top is a non-mover at No. 9 (36,000 units; down 16%) and Lil Baby’s My Turn rises 12-10 (34,000 units; down 3%).

Four Van Halen albums in the Billboard 200!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Stoney reached the 200th week charted milestone in the Billboard 200.

I can see Rumours reaching the top 10 of the Billboard 200 next week.

[Enigma.]

Why did Manic climb so much?

Re-issued with deluxe/bonus songs on streaming.

[Enigma.]

Wonder why Curtain Call drops out time to time just to return into top 100 a week or two later...

[Gary]

Down that far, even a little movement in units can be a lot of positions, total numbers are more tightly packed in the lower end of the chart

Because Greatest Hits albums, which shouldn't have streams count towards them, will randomly stop charting when the artists studio albums outsell it that week. Streams under current rules, are applied to the album that sells the most pure sales, if multiple albums have the same song included.


Greatest Hits albums are just playlists in the streaming era, and shouldn't be compared in streaming to studio albums. 

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^The musical chairs Billboard 200 rule. Same thing happened with a couple Queen albums and the Bohemian Rhapsody OST after the latter came out.

[eidde]

still a huge drop, but I expected Deftones to be in the 100s this week lol

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

I decided to post this here since it mentions Stoney reaching 200 weeks in the Billboard 200:

THE TALE OF THE LONG TAIL

Thursday, October 15, 2020

by Jamie Mitchell

As streaming grows, so does the lifespan of a hit album.

Streaming equivalent albums (SEA) were first introduced to the charts in December 2014. In the five-year period from 2010 to 2014, the average length of time an album spent in the Top 200 was 18-20 weeks. As industry trackers shifted to include consumption, that average has steadily increased each year, to 75 weeks in 2019. This year to date, the average weeks on for an album sits at 92.

Hit songs have almost always driven albums. While the same is true in the streaming era, artists and their labels can no longer depend on just one song to propel an album to millions of equivalent units. In order to reach those heights, many of the tracks must be played many times, thus creating a long tail in which the album collects smaller, yet steady totals week after week. The previous sales-only model often loaded up the first few weeks, resulting in a quicker disappearance from the chart.

Albums released in 2015 or later that have spent the most time on the chart include Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface (Fueled By Ramen), The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind The Madness (XO/Republic), and Hamilton (Uptown/Atlantic)—all with more than 250 weeks. Others at or approaching 200 weeks include Rihanna’s Anti (Westbury Road/Roc Nation), Drake’s Views (YMCMB/Republic), Post Malone’s Stoney (Republic), and J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive (Roc Nation/Columbia). All of these featured multiple, heavily streamed tracks or possibly, in the case of Hamilton, were often streamed as a whole.

Stoney was one of the first hit albums to set this smaller but steady precedent. In 200 weeks since release the album has amassed over 5m equivalent units with a weekly average of only 22.5k, and has only ever fallen below the Top 50 in thirteen weeks. Debuting in the second week of December 2016, it opened with less than 60k and quickly fell into the 20ks where it remained for 39 weeks. As its popularity grew, weekly activity then increased to 30-45k for another six months. This year, Stoney remains a chart fixture and ranks most weeks #40-50.

Dua Lipa’s self-titled 2017 release (Warner) may even more dramatically illustrate the long tail that streaming affords. With no single week above 15.2k in activity, the album spent nearly 100 weeks in the Top 200 and sits at over 2m equivalent units to date.

So far in 2020, streaming makes up 85% of overall album units. The SEA to date for both Stoney and Dua Lipa sits 
at 86%.

Catalog albums (defined as older than 18 months and having fallen out of the Top 100) have also seen their chart fortunes rebound from streaming. Journey’s Greatest Hits (Columbia), Creedence’s Chronicle (Fantasy), Eminem’s Curtain Call (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), Metallica’s self-titled 1991 release (Blackened) and Tupac’s Greatest Hits (Death Row/Interscope) have all surpassed 250 weeks in the Top 200. In the five years prior, only Journey came close to the same amount of time, with 237 weeks.

In the last five years, streaming has created its own set of superstars. The next five years will do the same. Just don’t expect them all to debut at #1 with huge first-week numbers. When it comes to streaming, it’s often those slow but steady totals that win the race.
