ILLIT’s I’ll Like You debuts at No. 6 on the latest Top Album Sales chart, while Kep1er’s Tipi-Tap climbs to No. 7 in its second week.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the best-selling albums of the week based solely on traditional album sales. The chart’s history traces back to May 25, 1991, when Billboard started tracking charts using data from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the primary metric for the Billboard 200 albums chart until December 6, 2014, when the methodology shifted to include track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. All charts for the week of Nov. 14 will be available on Billboard’s website on Nov. 19.
The impressive first-week sales of The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY were boosted by its release in 23 CD variants (each with collectible branded paper ephemera, some randomized) and eight digital download variants (seven exclusively available on the group’s official webstore, all with bonus tracks).
Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA maintains its position at No. 2 on the chart with 28,000 copies sold (down 37%). Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess moves up to No. 3 with 12,000 copies (up 9%). Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet rises to No. 4 with nearly 12,000 copies (up 18%), while The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World falls to No. 5 in its second week with nearly 12,000 copies sold (down 78%).
ILLIT achieves its second top 10 placement on Top Album Sales with I’ll Like You debuting at No. 6 and selling 10,500 copies. Kep1er’s Tipi-Tap climbs to No. 7 in its second week with 9,000 copies sold (up 218%), marking the act’s best sales week. The availability of eight CD variants (including collectible paper ephemera, some randomized) contributed to its strong first-week sales.
Charli XCX’s Brat climbs to No. 8 on the chart with 9,000 copies sold (up 82%), driven by the release of a white-colored vinyl edition. SEVENTEEN’s SPILL THE FEELS drops to No. 9 with nearly 9,000 copies sold (down 16%), and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft moves to No. 10 with 7,000 copies sold (up 23%).
