Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Dec. 21-dated chart (where&nbsp;<em>Please Excuse Me<\/em>&nbsp;bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s websites on Dec. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of&nbsp;<em>Please Excuse Me<\/em>\u2019s overall start of 101,000 units, SEA units comprise 98,000 (equaling 130.7 million in on-demand audio streams for the set\u2019s songs), along with 3,000 in album sales, and under 1,000 in TEA units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roddy Ricch (real name: Rodrick Moore) made his&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&nbsp;chart debut only a little more than a year ago, with his&nbsp;<em>Feed Tha Streets II<\/em>&nbsp;mixtape. The set bowed at No. 68 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 17, 2018. He hit the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart a month later through his featured role on Meek Mill\u2019s \u201cSplash Warning,\u201d debuting at No. 77 on the Dec. 15 list. Roddy Ricch claimed his first top 40 hit on the Hot 100 with his featured turn on his friend Nipsey Hussle\u200b\u2019s \u201cRacks in the Middle,\u201d which peaked at No. 26 on the April 20, 2019-dated list, shortly after Nipsey\u2019s death on March 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 21-year-old Ricch recently scored his first Grammy nominations, as he collected a trio of nods: best rap performance and best rap song for \u201cRacks in the Middle,\u201d along with best rap\/sung performance for his featured role on Mustard\u2019s \u201cBallin\u2019.\u201d The latter cut, which is not on&nbsp;<em>Please Excuse Me<\/em>, recently became Ricch\u2019s first top 20 hit on the Hot 100, when it jumped 25-20 on the Nov. 30-dated chart. On the most recently published list, dated Dec. 14, it held at its peak of No. 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary rock band the Who debuts at No. 2 with its latest album,&nbsp;<em>Who<\/em>. The set earned 89,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week, with 88,000 of that sum in album sales. The set\u2019s bow was largely driven by sales generated from a concert ticket\/album sale redemption offer with the band\u2019s summer tour. The new album is the Who\u2019s first studio effort since 2006\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Endless Wire<\/em>, which debuted and peaked at No. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, the Who has garnered 11 top 10 albums, with three of those going as high as No. 2:&nbsp;<em>Quadrophenia<\/em>&nbsp;(1973),&nbsp;<em>Who Are You<\/em>&nbsp;(1978) and now&nbsp;<em>Who<\/em>&nbsp;(2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop star Camila Cabello arrives at No. 3 with her second solo album,&nbsp;<em>Romance<\/em>. The set launches with 86,000 equivalent album units earned, with 54,000 of that sum in album sales. The rest of the album\u2019s units were generated by 30,000 in SEA units (equating to 40.6 million on-demand audio streams for its songs in its first week) and 2,000 TEA units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Romance<\/em>&#8216;s streaming start of 40.6 million clicks is the third-largest streaming debut for a pop album by a female artist in 2019.

Cabello additionally sold an array of merchandise\/album bundles via her official webstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in 2019, Cabello saw the new album\u2019s \u201cSe\u00f1orita,\u201d a duet with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/shawn-mendes\">Shawn Mendes<\/a>, hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 (Aug. 31).

Of that sum, album sales comprise 16,000. The hip-hop artist died on June 18, 2018, and&nbsp;<em>Bad Vibes Forever<\/em>&nbsp;marks his second posthumous No. 1; the set has been publicized as his final album. He previously hit the top with his last release,&nbsp;<em>Skins<\/em>&nbsp;(on the Dec. 22, 2018-dated chart) and&nbsp;<em>?<\/em>&nbsp;(March 31, 2018). He also logged two further top 30-charting titles:&nbsp;<em>17<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 2; Sept. 16, 2017) and&nbsp;<em>Revenge<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 28; July 7, 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pair of albums from the late Juice WRLD return to the top 10, as&nbsp;<em>Goodbye &amp; Good Riddance<\/em>&nbsp;climbs 71-6 with 59,000 equivalent album units (up 405%) while his former No. 1&nbsp;<em>Death Race for Love<\/em>&nbsp;zooms 88-10 with 49,000 units (up 380%). The albums climb following the death of the hip-hop star on Dec. 8. Another album by Juice WRLD, his collaborative set with Future,&nbsp;<em>WRLD on Drugs<\/em>, re-enters the chart at No. 75 with 13,000 units (up 266%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Frozen II<\/em>&nbsp;soundtrack falls from No. 1 to No. 7 with 59,000 equivalent album units (down 27%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the new top 10 are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/michael-buble\">Michael&nbsp;Bubl\u00e9<\/a>\u2019s former No. 1,&nbsp;<em>Christmas<\/em>, slipping 6-8 with 52,000 equivalent album units earned (up 8%) and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pentatonix\">Pentatonix<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>The Best of Pentatonix Christmas<\/em>, falling 8-9 with 52,000 units (up 20%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: billboard.com<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1639\" data-postid=\"1639\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1639 themify_builder themify_builder_front\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapper&nbsp;Roddy Ricch&nbsp;starts straight in at No. 1 on the&nbsp;Billboard 200&nbsp;chart with his debut studio album,&nbsp;Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial.
