The set’s deluxe reissue prompts its 21-1 jump back to the top. Plus: Bruce Springsteen and Ty Dolla $ign start in the top five.
Luke Combs’ What You See Is What You Get album vaults back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a second total week, following its deluxe reissue on Oct. 23 -- and sets a new weekly streaming record for a country album.

The set, which debuted atop the list dated Nov. 23, 2019, zooms from No. 21 to No. 1 with 109,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 29 (up 399 percent), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. The album was reissued on Oct. 23 with a handful of additional songs, bringing its total song count to 23.

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 comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Nov. 7-dated chart (where What You See Is What You Get returns to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Nov. 3. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of What You See Is What You Get’s 109,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Oct. 29, SEA units comprise 76,000 (up 289 percent; equaling 102.26 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), 22,000 comprise album sales (up 1,734 percent) and 11,000 comprise TEA units (up 904 percent).

What You See Is What You Get’s streaming total of 102.26 million weekly streams for its songs breaks its own record for the largest streaming week for a country album. It first set the record in its debut week (ending Nov. 14, 2019 – chart dated Nov. 23), when it racked up 74 million streams. (Note: Since January, streams on the Billboard 200 now include both on-demand audio and video streams. Before that, streams were audio only. That said, even counting just audio streams for What You See in the latest week, it would still have the biggest week country streaming week ever.)

What You See Is What You Get is also only the second country album to reach No. 1 in 2020 (following Kenny Chesney’s Here and Now on May 16).

Among the new cuts added to the tracklist of What You See Is What You Get are the hit songs “Six Feet Apart” (No. 10 peak on Hot Country Songs in May) and “Without You” (No. 15 on Hot Country Songs). Also included is the new song “Forever After All,” which is expected to make a high debut on both Hot Country Songs and the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Nov. 7.

Notably, the 11-month and 15-day gap between weeks at No. 1 for What You See is the longest wait since early 2018, when Bon Jovi’s This House Is Not a Home returned to No. 1 after 15 months.

Bruce Springsteen’s new album Letter to You debuts at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, as he becomes the first act with new top five-charting albums in each of the last six decades (1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s and the ‘20s). Letter to You is Springsteen’s 20th studio effort. Further, Letter to You is the top selling album of the week, debuts at No. 1 on the Album Sales chart and launches with Springsteen’s biggest sales week for any album since 2014.

Letter to You bows with 96,000 equivalent album units earned (Springsteen’s largest week, in terms of units, since the Billboard 200 began measuring in consumption units in December 2014). Of that sum, 92,000 comprise album sales, 4,000 comprise SEA units (totaling 5.37 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs) and less than 1,000 comprise TEA units.

Letter to You’s sales start of 92,000 is Springsteen’s best sales week since High Hopes debuted at No. 1 with 99,000 copies sold on the chart dated Feb. 1, 2014.

All told, Letter to You is Springsteen’s 21st top 10 and top five-charting album. (All 21 of his top 10 efforts also reached the top five.)

Springsteen logged two top five sets in the 1970s (Born to Run, No. 3 in 1975 and Darkness on the Edge of Town, No. 5 in 1978), five in the ‘80s (The River, No. 1 in 1980; Nebraska, No. 3 in 1982; Born in the U.S.A., No. 1 in 1984; the live album Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band 1975-1985, No. 1 in 1986; and Tunnel of Love, No. 1 in 1987), three in the 1990s (Human Touch, No. 3 in 1992; Lucky Town, No. 3 in 1992; and Greatest Hits, No. 1 in 1995), six in the ‘00s (Live in New York City, No. 5 in 2001; The Rising, No. 1 in 2002; Devils & Dust, No. 1 in 2005; We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, No. 3 in 2006; Magic, No. 1 in 2007; and Working On a Dream, No. 1 in 2009), four in the ‘10s (Wrecking Ball, No. 1 in 2012; High Hopes, No. 1 in 2014; Chapter and Verse, No. 5 in 2016; and Western Stars, No. 2 in 2019) and now one in the ‘20s (Letter to You, No. 2 in 2020).

Letter to You sold well on vinyl, with 18,000 of its sales coming from the format -- the second-largest sales week for a vinyl album in 2020 (trailing only to the debut week of Tame Impala’s The Slow Rush, with 26,000 sold; chart dated Feb. 29). Letter to You was also a hot seller with independent record stores, as it moved 16,000 of its total 92,000 via indie stores.

Letter to You launches at No. 1 both the Vinyl Albums and Tastemaker Albums charts. The latter list ranks the top selling albums of the week at indie and small chain record stores.

Letter to You was led by its title track, which has risen to No. 2 on the Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart (through the most recently published chart dated Oct. 31).

Back on the new Billboard 200 chart, Pop Smoke’s former No. 1 Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon falls 2-3 with 61,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8 percent).

Ty Dolla $ign scores his highest charting album ever and first top 10, as Featuring Ty Dolla $ign bows at No. 4 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 39,000 comprise SEA units (totaling 50.83 million on-demand streams of its songs), 4,000 comprise album sales and 1,000 comprise TEA units. He previously peaked as high as No. 11 with Beach House 3 in 2017.

A trio of former No. 1s are next up on the new Billboard 200, as Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die falls 4-5 (42,000 equivalent album units earned; down 6 percent), 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II slips 3-6 (36,000; down 24 percent) and Lil Baby’s My Turn is a non-mover at No. 7 (35,000 units; down 4 percent).

The original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton: An American Musical is steady at No. 8 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9 percent), while Machine Gun Kelly’s previous leader Tickets to My Downfall holds at No. 9 with 28,000 units (down 6 percent).

Harry Styles’ former No. 1 Fine Line returns to the top 10, climbing from No. 20 to No. 10, following the Oct. 26 release of the set’s new video for the song “Golden.” The album earned 27,000 equivalent album units (up 20 percent).

Record Store Day 2020 Drops Helped Sell Nearly 2 Million Albums at Indie Retail

By Keith Caulfield
11/7/2020

The drops generated 34% of all indie store CD and vinyl album sales since August.

Record Store Day 2020’s three-part drop series came to a close on Oct. 24 -- and continued to generate big album sales for indie stores and the music industry.

The drops (staged on Aug. 29, Sept. 26 and Oct. 24) combined to help generate 1.95 million in CD and vinyl album sales at indie stores in the U.S. -- with 1.41 million of that in vinyl album sales, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Those sums represent a sizable 34% and 38%, respectively, of overall indie store CD and vinyl album sales, and vinyl album sales-only, from July 31 through Oct. 29.

Traditionally, Record Store Day festivities occur on a Saturday in the spring across independent record stores. Record Store Day draws many customers into indie stores, hoping to purchase the many unique and limited-edition albums -- most on vinyl -- released exclusively to indie stores for the holiday. In turn, the halo effect of these sales drives up album sales in general.

Record Store Day's September Drop Brings Big Gains for U.S. Vinyl Album Sales

In 2020, due to COVID-related complications, Record Store Day (which was slated for April 18) was spread across three days (Aug. 29, Sept. 26 and Oct. 24), and dubbed drops by the Record Store Day folks. In turn, the Record Store Day-exclusive albums intended to be released on April 18 were also spread across those three drops.

Albums that were released specifically for the third drop include a green vinyl pressing of the U.K. edition of The Rolling Stones’ Metamorphosis, Miles Davis’ Double Image: Rare Miles From the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions on red opaque vinyl and the first vinyl release of The Who’s A Quick Live One: Live at the Monterey International Pop Festival. The latter was the top selling Record Store Day-exclusive title at indie stores in the week ending Oct. 29, with 6,500 copies sold. It debuts at No. 3 on the Tastemaker Albums chart, which ranks the top selling albums of the week at indie stores.

Combined Drop Impact at Indie Stores: Drop one on Aug. 29 helped drive 716,000 in CD and vinyl album sales at indie stores in the week ending Sept. 3, with 525,000 of that sum in vinyl LPs. Drop two on Sept. 26 helped push 625,000 in CD and vinyl album sales at indies in the week ending Oct. 1, with 444,000 of that sum in vinyl LPs. And finally, the third drop on Oct. 24 drove 606,000 CD and vinyl album sales at indies in the week ending Oct. 29, with 440,000 of that total in vinyl LPs.

Taken together, those three weeks add up to 1.95 million CD and vinyl albums sold at indie stores, with 1.41 million of that in vinyl LPs. In the 13 weeks between July 31 and Oct. 29, a total of 5.73 million CD and vinyl albums were sold at indie stores, while 3.72 million of that sum was in vinyl LPs. Thus, the 1.95 million sold in the three drop weeks represents 34% of sales during the 13-week tracking period, while the vinyl LP-only sum of 1.41 million equaled 38% of vinyl LP-only sales at indies in that same span of time.

To even better understand the significant impact of the Record Store Day drops, one can look at the average weekly sales total of CD and vinyl albums at indie stores -- but without the drop-impact weeks.

Looking only at the 10 weeks from July 31 to Oct. 29 that did not include the three drop weeks -- indie stores sold a weekly average of 378,000 CD and vinyl albums, with 231,000 of that sum in vinyl LP sales. Meanwhile, the three drop weeks generated a weekly average of 649,000 in CD and vinyl album sales, with 469,000 in vinyl LP sales.

Translation: In an average drop week, CD and vinyl album sales grew 72% at indie stores (comparing 378,000 to 649,000). Meanwhile, vinyl LP sales, in an average drop week, doubled -- growing 103% (comparing 231,000 to 469,000).

Combined Drop Impact, Industry-Wide: Here’s a look at how the three Record Store Day drops, and their strong influence with indie store sales, helped generate a large share of the overall industry’s album sales across all sellers of music -- as compared to their share during non-drop weeks. (For this story, industry means all sellers of music, which includes, but is not limited to, companies like Target, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, iTunes, Walmart, as well as all indie stores.)

Each drop powered between 41% and 46% of overall industry CD and vinyl album sales in the drop weeks (represented as indie stores’ share of total industry CD and vinyl album sales). That’s up from indie stores’ average non-drop-week 31% share of industry CD and vinyl album sales. (See below.)

The comparison is more striking when only focusing on vinyl album sales, as the three drops represented between 59% to 66% of overall industry vinyl album sales -- as compared to indie stores’ non-drop-week average of 41% of vinyl album sales. (See below.)

Drop one, Aug. 29 -- sales week ending Sept. 3
Industry CD and vinyl album sales: 1.55 million
Indie store CD and vinyl album sales: 716,000 (46% of industry)
Industry vinyl album sales: 801,000
Indie store vinyl album sales: 525,000 (66% of industry)

Drop two, Sept. 26 -- sales week ending Oct. 1
Industry CD and vinyl album sales: 1.50 million
Indie store CD and vinyl album sales: 625,000 (42% of industry)
Industry vinyl album sales: 714,000
Indie store vinyl album sales: 444,000 (62% of industry)

Drop three, Oct. 24 -- sales week ending Oct. 29
Industry CD and vinyl album sales: 1.49 million
Indie store CD and vinyl album sales: 606,000 (41% of industry)
Industry vinyl album sales: 743,000
Indie store vinyl album sales: 440,000 (59% of industry)

To put the above numbers in context, let’s look at only at the weeks from July 31 to Oct. 29 that did not include the three drop weeks

July 31 -- Oct. 29 Average Weekly Sales (Only the Non-Drop Weeks)
Industry CD and vinyl album sales: 1.21 million
Indie store CD and vinyl album sales: 378,000 (31% of industry)
Industry vinyl album sales: 505,000

Year-to-Date Summary: With all three Record Store Day drops in the rear-view mirror, industry-wide year-to-date vinyl album sales, through Oct. 29, now stand at 17.89 million (up 38.2% compared to the same point a year ago) and indie store vinyl album sales stand at 7.3 million (up 24.9%). So far in 2020, indie stores account for 41% of all vinyl album sales.

Further, the three largest weeks of 2020 for vinyl album sales at indie stores all came courtesy of Record Store Day drops -- 440,000 in week ending Oct. 29; 444,000 in week ending Oct. 1 and 525,000 in week ending Sept. 3.

Looking Back at Record Store Day 2019: For 2019’s Record Store Day festivities, held on just one day (April 13), the indie retailer holiday helped sell 673,000 vinyl albums at indie stores (in the week ending April 18). Industry-wide, 827,000 vinyl albums were sold in the week ending April 18, 2019.

That said, comparing the three individual drops of 2020 to one day (well, week) of 2019 isn’t a fair comparison, since the three drops likely encouraged more sales across a greater number of albums at indie stores -- not just those earmarked as Record Store Day-exclusive releases.
