Bad Bunny’s ‘El Ultimo Tour del Mundo’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart, Is First All-Spanish No. 1 Album
By Keith Caulfield
12/6/2020

It’s Bad Bunny’s first leader. Plus: Miley Cyrus’ “Plastic Hearts” bows at No. 2, while Michael Bublé’s “Christmas” returns to the top 10.

Bad Bunny earns his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and makes history in the process. His new studio effort El Ultimo Tour del Mundo debuts atop the list, marking the first all-Spanish-language album to reach No. 1 in the 64-year history of the all-genre chart.

The album starts with 116,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 3, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

The previous highest-charting all-Spanish-language album came earlier this year, when Bad Bunny’s own YHLQMDLG debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated March 14 (179,000 units earned in its first week).

Also in the new top 10, Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts debuts at No. 2, while Michael Bublé’s former No. 1 Christmas returns to the region.

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 Dec. 12-dated chart (where El Ultimo Tour del Mundo debuts at to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Dec. 8. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of El Ultimo Tour del Mundo’s 116,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending Dec. 3, SEA units comprise 103,000 (equating to 145.94 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 12,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Only four all-Spanish-language albums have ever reached the top five on the Billboard 200: Bad Bunny’s El Ultimo Tour del Mundo (No. 1), YHLQMDLG (No. 2), Mana’s Amar es Combatir (No. 4; Sept. 9, 2006) and Shakira’s Fijación Oral: Vol. 1 (No. 4; June 25, 2005).

Before El Ultimo Tour del Mundo became the first all-Spanish-language album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200, there were only two mostly Spanish-sung albums reign: Il Divo’s Ancora (Feb. 11, 2006) and Selena’s Dreaming of You (Aug. 5, 1995). Of Ancora’s 10 songs, seven were performed in Spanish. Dreaming of You’s 13-track album includes six tracks in Spanish, five in English and two duets that blend English and Spanish.

All told, Bad Bunny has now achieved five charting albums on the Billboard 200, with his last four all reaching the top 10. His first charting set, X 100PRE, peaked at No. 11 on the Jan. 12, 2019-dated chart, and he followed it with Oasis (with J Balvin, No. 9; July 13, 2019), YHLQMDLG (No. 2; March 14, 2020), Las Que No Iban a Salir (No. 7; May 23, 2020) and now El Ultimo Tour del Mundo.

Further, Bad Bunny is only the second act to have logged three new top 10 albums in 2020, following YoungBoy Never Broke Again, who has claimed four top 10s this year.

El Ultimo Tour del Mundo was led by the track “Dákiti,” a co-billed song with Jhay Cortez. It marked Bad Bunny’s third top 10 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and his seventh No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The song also reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.

Back on the new Billboard 200, Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts debuts at No. 2 – her highest charting effort since 2013’s Bangerz bowed at No. 1. All told, Plastic Hearts is her 13th top 10 effort (including those albums credited under her Hannah Montana alias).

Plastic Hearts launches with 60,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 38,000 comprise SEA units (translating to 50.90 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), 20,000 comprise album sales and 2,000 comprise TEA units.

Plastic Hearts was preceded by the songs “Midnight Sky” and “Prisoner,” the latter featuring Dua Lipa. “Midnight Sky” reached No. 14 on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 29 and No. 20 on the Streaming Songs chart. “Prisoner” debuted on the most-recently published Hot 100 and Streaming Songs charts (dated Dec. 5) at Nos. 54 and 31, respectively. Aside from the collaboration with Dua Lipa, the album also features Billy Idol and Joan Jett. The digital edition of the album includes a guest spot by Stevie Nicks, who sings new vocals on "Edge of Midnight" -- a remix/mash-up of "Midnight Sky" and Nicks' own "Edge of Seventeen."

BTS’ Be falls from No. 1 to No. 3 on the new Billboard 200 in its second week (55,000 equivalent album units earned; down 77%),

Ariana Grande’s former No. 1 Positions dips 3-4 (53,000; down 14%) and

Pop Smoke’s previous leader Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon drops 4-5 (a little over 48,000; down 7%).

Michael Bublé’s Christmas, which reached No. 1 in late 2011 and early 2012, returns to the top 10, as it climbs 13-6 with 48,000 equivalent album units earned (up 52%). Of that sum, 38,000 comprise SEA units (up 61%; equaling 50.46 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), 9,000 comprise album sales (up 27%) and 1,000 comprise TEA units (up 25%).

Since Christmas’ five-week reign at No. 1 in 2011-12, the album has returned to the top 10 in every Christmas season since.

Closing out the new top 10:

Megan Thee Stallion’s Good News falls 2-7 in its second week on the Billboard 200 (47,000 equivalent album units earned; down 53%),

Taylor Swift’s former No. 1 Folklore descends 6-8 (45,000; though up 4%),

Carrie Underwood’s My Gift rises 10-9 (44,000; up 26%) and

Juice WRLD’s previous No. 1 Legends Never Die dips 9-10 (36,000; down less than 1%).

Nice to see this happen finally.

We’ve come a long way since Julio Iglesias broke into the market back in the early-mid 80’s. Plenty of great artists like Gloria Estefan, Selena and more have helped pave the way, and this is the a big week to celebrate!

Fleetwood Mac's 'GH' finally outsells 'Rumours' and gets all the streams. Too bad it missed another chance a few weeks ago to finally crack the Top 10.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Doesn't look like the Record Store Day on Black Friday had as much effect in the Top Album Sales chart as the previous one since albums managed good pure sales on their own. At least the top 14 managed to sell over 10k pure sales.

John Legend's Christmas album is doing quite solid especially since it was not a smash when it was first released. What Christmas Means to Me is also charting on the Holiday 100

Same with Gwen Stefani's You Make It Feel Like Christmas, the title track charted on Holiday 100 too.

Vinyl Album Sales Hit Historic High in U.S. After Black Friday 2020

By Keith Caulfield
12/8/2020

Record Store Day Black Friday festivities help vinyl album sales to best week ever in Nielsen Music/MRC Data era (1991-present).

Shopping and promotions on Black Friday (Nov. 27) helped push vinyl album sales to a historic high in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

In the week of Nov. 27-Dec. 3, 1.253 million vinyl albums were sold (up 56%) -- the largest sales week for the format since Nielsen Music/MRC Data began electronically tracking music sales in 1991. It’s only the second time that weekly vinyl album sales surpassed 1 million in the Nielsen Music/MRC Data era. The last time it happened was just under a year ago, when 1.243 million were sold in the week ending Dec. 26, 2019.

Bolstering the robust sales week was Record Store Day Black Friday festivities at independent record stores, as indie physical store sales accounted for 542,000 vinyl LPs sold in the week ending Dec. 3 (up 135%). That’s the second-largest week ever for indie store vinyl album sales -- runner-up only to Record Store Day 2019’s week (673,000; week ending April 11, 2019). Record Store Day Black Friday traditionally sees the release of an array of limited-edition and exclusive vinyl albums, which assist in driving big sales numbers.

Also helping sales in the week ending Dec. 3: continued promotions and visibility of vinyl LPs at mass merchants like Walmart and Target, as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, among others.

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

The top-selling vinyl album in the week ending Dec. 3 was Harry Styles’ Fine Line, with 15,000 copies sold (up 12%); it rises 2-1 on the latest Vinyl Albums chart (dated Dec. 12). Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack to the A Charlie Brown Christmas TV special was the No. 2 vinyl seller of the week (rising 5-2 with 11,000; up 37%) while Queen’s Greatest Hits was the No. 3 biggest-selling LP of the week (up 4-3 with just under 11,000; up 26%). Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (6-4 with 10,000; up 70%) and Taylor Swift’s Folklore (1-5 with just under 10,000; down 36%) round out the top five.

Phish’s latest studio album, Sigma Oasis, debuts at No. 6 on the Vinyl Albums chart with 9,000 copies sold, following its vinyl release on Nov. 27. (The set was released in April on digital download and streaming services.) The Beatles’ Abbey Road shifts 8-7 on the Vinyl Albums chart with nearly 9,000 in sales (up 71%).

Closing out the top 10 on the latest Vinyl Albums chart are a trio of albums that garnered special releases for Record Store Day Black Friday.

Alice In Chains’ Sap EP was released as a stand-alone vinyl set for the first time on Nov. 27, and arrives at No. 8 with 8,500 in sales (effectively selling out its entire production run). The five-song set was originally released as a CD in 1992.

U2’s 1980 album Boy bows at No. 9 on Vinyl Albums with a little over 8,000 sold, after the set’s release on white vinyl for its 40th anniversary. My Chemical Romance’s Life on the Murder Scene debuts at No. 10 with 8,000 sold after its first pressing on vinyl. The 2006 album compiled live tracks, demo recordings and a then-previously unreleased tune, and was originally released as a CD/DVD set.

‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ Lights Up Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart

By Keith Caulfield
12/10/2020

It’s the sixth-biggest selling holiday album of the Nielsen Music/MRC Data-era (1991-present).

Vince Guaraldi Trio’s ever-popular soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas returns to the top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart (dated Dec. 12), as the set jingles up the list 14-9 (on the chart dated Dec. 12). The album, first released in 1965, sold just over 14,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 3 (up 37%), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Notably, of that sum, 11,000 were on vinyl LP (up 35%).

Also in the top 10: BTS’ Be holds at No. 1 for a second week and Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts debuts at No. 6.

Billboard’s Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The Album Sales chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Pure album sales were the measurement solely utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

With A Charlie Brown Christmas’ 14,000 copies sold in the latest tracking week, its total sales in the Nielsen Music/MRC Data era (1991-present) jump past 4 million, rising to 4.005 million. The soundtrack to the animated TV special, which premiered in 1965 on CBS TV, is the sixth-biggest selling holiday album of the Nielsen Music/MRC Data era.

A Charlie Brown Christmas did not reach any Billboard ranking until 1987, when it debuted on the Top Holiday Albums chart, where it later peaked at No. 2 (Jan. 27, 2007). On Album Sales, A Charlie Brown Christmas has so far peaked at No. 7 (Dec. 14, 2019) while on the Billboard 200 chart, it has reached as high as No. 13 (Dec. 28, 2019). On the latest Holiday Albums and Billboard 200 charts, dated Dec. 12, A Charlie Brown Christmas rises 5-4 and 23-14, respectively.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is also a consistent strong seller on vinyl LP, as it has sold 228,000 copies on vinyl during the Nielsen Music/MRC Data era. In 2020 alone, it has sold 56,000 copies on vinyl (making it one of the 30 biggest selling albums on vinyl this year). And, in the most recent tracking week (ending Dec. 3), it moved 11,000 on vinyl (up 35%) -- pushing it 5-2 on the Vinyl Albums chart. The album's vinyl sales have grown steadily since 2018: 56,000 so far in 2020; 49,000 in 2019; 31,000 in 2018; 23,000 in 2017. The album's vinyl sales are enhanced by its availability in multiple color variants across assorted retailers.

After its 1965 premiere, the A Charlie Brown Christmas TV special aired annually on broadcast television during the holiday season on CBS, and then ABC, through 2019. In 2020, the Apple TV+ subscription service acquired the rights to the special — along with other classic animated Peanuts programs.

A Charlie Brown Christmas could experience further sales gains in the week ending Dec. 10, as the special made its Apple TV+ premiere on Dec. 4. Then, in the following week (ending Dec. 17), the special will be available for free via Apple TV+ for nonsubscribers for three days (Dec. 11-13) while PBS will bring the special back to free over-the-air TV with a commercial-free airing on Dec. 13.

Back on the new Album Sales chart, BTS' Be is steady at No. 1 for a second week, selling 32,000 copies sold in the week ending Dec. 3 (down 82%).

Carrie Underwood’s holiday album My Gift charges 5-2 (a new peak) with 28,000 sold (up 13%), following the Dec. 3 premiere of her HBO Max special My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood on Dec. 3, and performances on NBC TV’s Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (both on Dec. 3 as well).

Dolly Parton’s A Holly Dolly Christmas is a non-mover at No. 3 on Album Sales with 25,000 sold (down 3%), while Taylor Swift’s Folklore rises 6-4 with 22,000 sold (down 7%) and AC/DC’s Power Up falls 2-5 with 21,000 sold (down 30%).

Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts debuts at No. 6 with 20,000 copies sold, marking Cyrus’ 13th top 10 effort (including albums billed under her Hannah Montana alias). Plastic Hearts also starts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Harry Styles’ Fine Line climbs 10-7 on the Album Sales chart with 18,000 sold (up 19%), Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over falls 7-8 with 17,000 sold (down 21%) and Josh Groban’s Harmony descends 4-10 in its second week (14,000 sold; down 45%).
