Kendrick Lamar lands his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his latest release, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, launches atop the list (dated May 28). He’s debuted at No. 1 with each of his last four albums.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers charges in with 295,500 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 19, according to Luminate — the largest week of the year for any album. It’s the third straight week in which that benchmark has been crushed. A week ago, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti did the trick with its No. 1 debut of 274,000, and in the week before that, Future’s I Never Liked You bowed at No. 1 with 222,000.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was announced on April 18 and released on May 13. It’s Lamar’s first album in just over five years. His last project was DAMN., released in April 2017. DAMN. spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200 (his longest run at No. 1), was 2017’s year-end No. 1 album on the tally and was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Music.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ 18 tracks are split evenly on the album into two parts, each with nine tracks. The first half is named Big Steppers and the second half is named Mr. Morale. The album was not preceded by any pre-release singles (though, Lamar did drop the non-album track “The Heart Part 5” on May 8, along with an eye-catching music video). Following the album’s arrival, Lamar released the official music video for “N95,” a song that is on the album.

Also in the Billboard 200’s new top 10, TOMORROW X TOGETHER notches its highest-charting album yet with the No. 4 debut of Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child, Florence + The Machine captures its fourth top 10 album with the No. 7 arrival of Dance Fever and The Black Keys land their sixth top 10 effort with the No. 8 start of Dropout Boogie.

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, compiled by Luminate. 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 May 28, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 24. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ 295,500 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 258,500 (equating to 343.02 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 tracks), album sales comprise 35,500 and TEA units comprise 1,500.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers claims the biggest week, by equivalent album units, for any album since Adele’s 30 debuted with 839,000 units in the week ending Nov. 25, 2021 (chart dated Dec. 4, 2021).

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers logs 2022’s largest streaming week for an R&B/hip-hop album, and the second-biggest streaming week of 2022 for any album. The year’s largest streaming week is currently owned by the debut frame of Bad Bunny’s 23-track Un Verano Sin Ti: 261,000 SEA units; equating to 356.55 million on-demand official streams of its tracks.

Notably, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers claims the year’s highest weekly equivalent album units total over Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, despite having five fewer tracks (18 vs. 23) to contribute to its SEA unit sum. (Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ overall unit total jumped past Un Verano Sin Ti thanks largely its traditional album sales.)

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ starting sales figure of 35,000 came solely from digital album sales, as the set won’t be issued on CD until May 27. That sales sum marks the largest sales week for a digital album in 2022, and the biggest for any album since Adele’s 30 bowed with 205,000 digital albums sold in its first week (chart dated Dec. 4, 2021).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti falls from the No. 1 slot in its second week (182,000 equivalent album units earned; down 34%). Future’s former No. 1 I Never Liked You slips from No. 2 to No. 3 with 89,500 units (down 23%).

TOMORROW X TOGETHER scores its second top 10 album and highest-charting effort yet on the Billboard 200, as Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child bows at No. 4. It surpasses the No. 5 debut and peak of The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, in June 2021. (In total, Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child is the sixth charting effort on the Billboard 200 for the South Korean pop quintet.)

Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child starts with 68,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 65,500; SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.37 million on-demand official streams of the set’s five tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child enters at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart with the third-largest sales week of any album in 2022 — 65,500 sold. Effectively all of that sum was sold through CDs while only about 500 were sold via digital download. The album was not available on any other configuration (such as vinyl LP or cassette).

Like many K-pop releases, the CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (eight total, including exclusive versions for Target and Barnes & Noble), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements (such as photocards and post cards).

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album is pushed down one spot to No. 5 despite a 5% gain (55,500 equivalent album units earned). Jack Harlow’s Come Home the Kids Miss You falls three rungs to No. 6 in its second week with 55,000 units (down 51%).

Florence + The Machine collects its fourth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as Dance Fever debuts at No. 7 with 54,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 42,500, SEA units comprise 11,000 (equaling 14.5 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 14 tracks) and TEA units comprise 500 units.

Dance Fever was ushered in by single “My Love,” which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart (the group’s sixth No. 1) and climbed into the top 10 on the Alternative Airplay tally on the most recently published chart (dated May 21). On the latter chart, “My Love” is the act’s fourth top 10 and first since 2015’s “Ship to Wreck.”

The Black Keys round out the week quartet of debuts in the Billboard 200’s top 10, as Dropout Boogie bows at No. 8. The set starts with 33,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 27,500; SEA units comprise 5,000 (equaling 6.5 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 10 tracks) and TEA units comprise 500 units. In total, Dropout Boogie is the duo’s sixth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 and comes only a year after its last release, Delta Kream, which debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the May 29, 2021-dated chart.

Dropout Boogie was preceded by the single “Wild Child,” which topped both the Adult Alternative Airplay and Alternative Airplay charts, and reached the top 15 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay tally.

Closing out the new top 10 on the Billboard 200 are two former No. 1s: Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour falls 5-9 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned (though up less than 1%) and Lil Durk’s 7220 slips 7-10 with 29,000 units (down 7%).

But those songs are not being added to the Dangerous album. They're standalone singles. Sure, the newly released songs help bring other people to stream the album, but it's not causing a huge surge in streams that wouldn't otherwise be there already.

[atg]

At least its 295k officially instead of the initial 286. That still easily beats out the 250k that Damn had on streaming alone (Mr Morale did 258k on streaming only while the rest is apparently digital sales), so i don’t see where the “underperformance” discussion is, unless we’re talking about the whole album losing rapidly on streaming which is kinda a stupid point. If he did have physicals, it would put the total to around 550-650k, so this is still a great comeback regardless.

He is absolutely not doing 250k+ physical sales in a single week lol. And yes, the songs crashing down on streaming is a completely valid point?...

He did 35k in digital sales. There's no way he does 300-350k in digital sales in a single week even if he had a full year to get vinyls, CDs and cassettes ready.

Strong start for Florence :) Sad she was so close to top 5.

Yeah but you’re only saying that because he doesn’t have physicals out right now. It would be a whole different story if he did just like Harry has them and he’s easily passing over 400k. Kendrick does way better when he has physicals out, he has a really strong fanbase for that but since that’s not the case currently, you can easily make the claim that he wouldn’t do as well. The songs crashing on streaming would have nothing to do with its overall performance had physicals been involved in the first place, and this is just my opinion on it, i think we would’ve seen a whole different scenario played out.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

At least Kendrick managed to surpass the weekly streams he had with DAMN. That said, the new album won't hold up nearly as well unless there's a clear hit from it, which seems unlikely.

He didn't perform strong in digital sales at all, and you're not realizing DAMN actually did over 200k+ in digital album sales the week it debuted.

Thus if you're expecting 250k+ physicals, you're expecting him to sell well over 2x what he sold last time in physicals. No act is moving more physical product in 2022 than in 2017, not even Taylor or Adele.

Kendrick's album represents around 8.5% of the digital album sales YTD.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER Lands Third No. 1 on Top Album Sales Chart

5/23/2022

By Keith Caulfield

Plus: Florence + The Machine, Kendrick Lamar, The Black Keys, The Rolling Stones, Slipknot & One Direction all make waves in the top 10.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER lands its third No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated May 28), as Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child debuts atop the tally. The set sold 65,500 in the U.S. in the week ending May 19, according to Luminate, marking the third-largest sales week of 2022 for any album.

The South Korean pop quintet has previously hit No. 1 on Top Album Sales with The Chaos Chapter: Freeze (in 2021) and Minisode1: Blue Hour (2020).

Also in the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart: new albums from Florence + The Machine, Kendrick Lamar, The Black Keys and The Rolling Stones all debut, while Slipknot’s Iowa and One Direction’s Four both return to the top 10 after they were each reissued on vinyl LP.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The 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 Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement 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. The new May 28, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 24. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child enters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with the third-largest sales week of any album in 2022 – 65,500 sold. It also marks the best sales week yet for the group. Effectively all of that sum was sold through CDs while only about 500 were sold via digital download. The five-track album was not available on any other configuration, such as vinyl LP or cassette.

Like many K-pop releases, the CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (eight total, including exclusive versions for Target and Barnes & Noble), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements, such as photocards and post cards.

Florence + The Machine’s new studio album Dance Fever debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 42,500 copies sold – with 17,000 of that sum on vinyl LP. (It also debuts at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, which ranks the top-selling vinyl albums of the week.)

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers starts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 35,500 sold – all from its digital download. The album, which also launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, won’t be released on CD until May 27.

The Black Keys’ Dropout Boogie bows at No. 4 on Top Album Sales with 27,500 copies sold – of which 13,500 are vinyl LPs. It’s No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums chart.

The Rolling Stones’ live archival album, Live at the El Mocambo, debuts at No. 5 on Top Album Sales with 11,500 sold. The release chronicles two secret concerts the Stones staged at the El Mocambo club in Toronto in March of 1977. It includes the band’s full set from the March 5 show and three bonus tracks from the March 4 concert.

Slipknot’s Iowa album, released in 2001, re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 6 with 7,500 sold (up from a negligible sum the previous week), following a new green-colored vinyl pressing of the set. Effectively all of the album’s sales were via vinyl.

Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour rises 8-7 with 7,000 sold (up 8%) and Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city jumps 12-8 with 6,500 sold (up 33%).

One Direction’s chart-topping Four, released in 2014, re-enters the chart at No. 9 after its Urban Outfitters-exclusive red-colored vinyl pressing was restocked. In total, the album, across all configurations, sold 6,500 copies (up 1,820%) with a little over 6,000 of that from vinyl LP sales.

Arcade Fire’s We rounds out the top 10 of the Top Album Sales chart, falling from No. 1 to No. 10 in its second week, selling 6,000 copies (down 77%).

In the week ending May 19, there were 1.765 million albums sold in the U.S. (up 4% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.347 million (up 1.1%) and digital albums comprised 418,000 (up 1.1%).

No way 30 is about to fall under that Silk Sonic album which easily had the worst performance of any major release recently.

Plus: Florence + The Machine, Kendrick Lamar, The Black Keys, The Rolling Stones, Slipknot & One Direction all make waves in the top 10.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER lands its third No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated May 28), as Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child debuts atop the tally. The set sold 65,500 in the U.S. in the week ending May 19, according to Luminate, marking the third-largest sales week of 2022 for any album.

The South Korean pop quintet has previously hit No. 1 on Top Album Sales with The Chaos Chapter: Freeze (in 2021) and Minisode1: Blue Hour (2020).

Also in the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart: new albums from Florence + The Machine, Kendrick Lamar, The Black Keys and The Rolling Stones all debut, while Slipknot’s Iowa and One Direction’s Four both return to the top 10 after they were each reissued on vinyl LP.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The 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 Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement 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. The new May 28, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 24. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child enters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with the third-largest sales week of any album in 2022 – 65,500 sold. It also marks the best sales week yet for the group. Effectively all of that sum was sold through CDs while only about 500 were sold via digital download. The five-track album was not available on any other configuration, such as vinyl LP or cassette.

Like many K-pop releases, the CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (eight total, including exclusive versions for Target and Barnes & Noble), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements, such as photocards and post cards.

Florence + The Machine’s new studio album Dance Fever debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 42,500 copies sold – with 17,000 of that sum on vinyl LP. (It also debuts at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, which ranks the top-selling vinyl albums of the week.)

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers starts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 35,500 sold – all from its digital download. The album, which also launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, won’t be released on CD until May 27.

The Black Keys’ Dropout Boogie bows at No. 4 on Top Album Sales with 27,500 copies sold – of which 13,500 are vinyl LPs. It’s No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums chart.

The Rolling Stones’ live archival album, Live at the El Mocambo, debuts at No. 5 on Top Album Sales with 11,500 sold. The release chronicles two secret concerts the Stones staged at the El Mocambo club in Toronto in March of 1977. It includes the band’s full set from the March 5 show and three bonus tracks from the March 4 concert.

Slipknot’s Iowa album, released in 2001, re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 6 with 7,500 sold (up from a negligible sum the previous week), following a new green-colored vinyl pressing of the set. Effectively all of the album’s sales were via vinyl.

Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour rises 8-7 with 7,000 sold (up 8%) and Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city jumps 12-8 with 6,500 sold (up 33%).

One Direction’s chart-topping Four, released in 2014, re-enters the chart at No. 9 after its Urban Outfitters-exclusive red-colored vinyl pressing was restocked. In total, the album, across all configurations, sold 6,500 copies (up 1,820%) with a little over 6,000 of that from vinyl LP sales.

Arcade Fire’s We rounds out the top 10 of the Top Album Sales chart, falling from No. 1 to No. 10 in its second week, selling 6,000 copies (down 77%).

In the week ending May 19, there were 1.765 million albums sold in the U.S. (up 4% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.347 million (up 1.1%) and digital albums comprised 418,000 (up 1.1%).

There were 648,000 CD albums sold in the week ending May 19 (up 4.2% week-over-week) and 690,000 vinyl albums sold (up 5.6%). Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 12.639 million (down 12% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 14.746 million (up 3.9%).

Overall year-to-date album sales total 35.676 million (down 7.9% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 27.572 million (down 4%) and digital album sales total 8.104 million (down 19%).

iHype- with no third single and both Adele and the label pretty much abandoning the set, there's really nothing to help ease its slide down the charts.

The biggest dropper on the May 28 Billboard 200? Arcade Fire's set, down 130 spots to No. 136.
