Billboard 200 -Morgan Wallen - 17 weeks at #1

Morgan Wallen’s ‘One Thing at a Time’ Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200 for 17th Week
The set debuted at No. 1 in March 2023 and has yet to leave the top 10 after 45 weeks.

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time climbs back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 20), stepping 2-1 and collecting its 17th nonconsecutive and total week atop the list. It earned 61,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 11 (down 4%), according to Luminate.


One Thing at a Time continues to have the most weeks at No. 1 among all albums since Adele’s 21 logged 24 nonconsecutive weeks atop the tally in 2011-12. One Thing at a Time debuted atop the chart dated March 18, 2023, and spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 through early June. It then logged another three weeks in a row atop the list in late June and early July, and nabbed its 16th week in charge on the Oct. 14 chart. In the album’s 45 weeks on the list, it has never dipped below No. 6. One Thing at a Time finished 2023 as both the No. 1 year-end Billboard 200 album and Luminate’s year-end top album.

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 Jan. 20, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 17 (a day later than usual due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the U.S. on Jan. 15). For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of One Thing at a Time’s 61,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 11, SEA units comprise 58,000 (down 3%, equaling 79.81 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 2,000 (down 13%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 25%).

One Thing at a Time’s unit total of 61,000 is the smallest the weekly No. 1 album has seen since the May 7, 2022-dated chart, when Pusha T’s It’s Almost Dry debuted at No. 1 with 55,000 units.

The rest of the new Billboard 200’s top four is comprised of former No. 1s: Drake’s For All the Dogs climbs 3-2 (58,000 equivalent album units; up less than 1%); Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) falls 1-3 (56,000; down 12%); and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 is a non-mover at No. 4 (52,000; down 9%).

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season rises 8-5 – its highest rank since it peaked at No. 3 last June – earning 52,000 equivalent album units (up 7%).

The remainder of the top 10 are all former chart-toppers, with SZA’s SOS ascending 7-6 (just over 43,000 equivalent album units; down 2%); Swift’s Midnights falling 5-7 (43,000; down 6%); Swift’s Lover dipping 6-8 (42,000; down 8%); Zach Bryan’s self-titled album stationary at No. 9 (39,000; down 5%); and Swift’s Folklore steady at No. 10 (34,000; down 5%).

Plus the TV albums and Cruel Summer have given it a second wind.

[KeepDeanWeird]

^Lover hasn't even dipped below 100 in 229 weeks - nearly 4 1/2 years! Had no idea it was such a steady seller pre-Midnights/Eras Tour. I guess it was just always there.

because the chart points of Cruel Summer get tallied for the parent album. I would rather ask why Folklore is that high when it has no hit single?

Thanks for providing this full Billboard 200 chart run by the way!! Is there an easy way to get these nowadays, other than looking them up week by week? A poster on UKMIX used to provide them, but he passed away many years ago.

Thanks for the link!

And I really do miss Hanboo. Hard to believe it’s been so long since he passed, but what an incredibly cool person to talk to. Never seen anyone so passionate about music and charts until I found that site.

Thanks, that's a nice tool to have! Unfortunately it only gives weeks in the top 50 for most albums, but that's better than nothing.

It's Swift's ninth set to reach 2 million in sales, and the only 2023 release to hit the threshold.

Taylor Swift claims her ninth album to reach 2 million in U.S. sales, as 1989 (Taylor’s Version) surpassed the threshold in the week ending Jan. 11. According to data tracking firm Luminate, the album sold 17,000 copies that week, uppping its total sales figure since its release in October to 2.014 million. (Sales are traditional album purchases – inclusive of all physical configurations [CD, vinyl, cassette] and digital album downloads.) 

1989 (Taylor’s Version) is the only album released in 2023 to have sold 2 million copies in the U.S. — it’s also the only album to have surpassed 1 million copies in 2023 (It cleared the million-mark in its debut week, ending Nov. 2.) The last-released album to cross both marks was Swift’s own Midnights, which was released in October of 2022. Midnights sold more than a million copies in its first week, and then reached the 2 million-mark in February of 2023.

Here’s a recap of Swift’s nine albums that have sold at least 2 million copies each, ranked by largest total sales: Fearless (7.285 million), 1989 (6.472 million), her self-titled album (5.871 million), Speak Now (4.817 million), Red (4.582 million), Midnights (2.814 million), Reputation (2.478 million), Folklore (2.289 million) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (2.014 million).

Swift has four more albums that have sold at least 1 million each, lifting her sum of million-selling albums to a lucky 13.

Swift’s continued strong sales should come as no surprise, as she was the year’s top-selling act in the U.S., by album sales, in each of the last five years (2019-23). And, she’s done so while an increasing number of music fans have adopted streaming as a primary means of music consumption. Swift, like many acts, has leaned in to creating additional versions of an album for purchase by superfans, which helps increase sales figures. Her albums sold spectacularly on vinyl as well, and was the configuration’s top-seller in 2023 when she accounted for one of every 15 vinyl albums sold.

On Billboard’s latest Top Album Sales chart (dated Jan. 20), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) spends a sixth non-consecutive week at No. 1, with its 17,000 copies sold (down 28%). Swift has a total of seven albums in the top 10, as 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is joined by six other former Swift leaders in the region. She ties her own record for the most concurrent titles in the top 10 by a single act.

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.

Swift’s other six titles in the Jan. 20-dated top 10 on Top Album Sales are: Midnights (rising 3-2 with 11,000; down 14%), Folklore (4-3 with 10,000; down 21%), Lover (6-5 with 9,000; down 25%), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (8-6 with 7,000; down 30%), Evermore (5-7 with nearly 7,000; down 47%) and Red (Taylor’s Version) (14-10 with nearly 6,000; down 18%).

As for the non-Swift titles in the top 10, they are: Stray Kids’ former No. 1 ROCK-STAR (falling 2-4 with a little over 9,000; down 39%), Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping Guts (7-8 with 6,000; down 41%) and ATEEZ’s The World EP.Fin: Will (holding at No. 9 with nearly 6,000; down 34%).

In the week ending Jan. 11, there were 1.195 million albums sold in the U.S. (down 15.6% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 936,000 (down 17.7%) and digital albums comprised 259,000 (down 6.8%).

There were 439,000 CD albums sold in the week ending Jan. 11 (down 13.6 week-over-week) and 492,000 vinyl albums sold (down 21.1%). Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 946,000 (down 25.5% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 1.117 million (down 44%).

Overall year-to-date album sales total 2.611 million (down 34.1% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 2.073 million (down 36.9%) and digital album sales total 538,000 (down 20.4%).

They mention four more albums over 1m, that would be Lover (must be super close to 2m?), holiday collection, evermore and speak now tv? But red tv must be close to 1m too?

NIce to see. Massive true sales for this era. I have to say I am surprised that Red is below the debut and Speak Now. Red felt much bigger than either to me. No real shock to see Fearless on top, even though I think 1989 is her landmark album and certainly feels like her biggest album by some margin. But I guess country albums can sell by the millions without anyone outside of the core country market taking any notice of it. A shame that Lover is below 2 million. Has to be her most underrated album, to me it's a top 2 TS album (with 1989).

Holiday Collection, Lover (which was 1.974m as of a few weeks ago), Evermore, and Red TV are all over 1M. Speak Now TV was 908k by the end of 2023. Last known sales officially for Fearless TV were from July 2023 - 737k.

It's so funny that Fearless is her highest-selling album but Fearless TV is her least sold TV. Any explanation?!
