The set, which was released Jan. 10 via Interscope Records, starts with 112,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Nielsen Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on&nbsp;multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Jan. 25-dated chart (where&nbsp;<em>Rare<\/em>&nbsp;bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s websites on Wednesday, Jan. 22 (one day later than usual, owed to the Martin Luther King&nbsp;Jr. Day holiday on Monday, Jan. 20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total,&nbsp;<em>Rare<\/em>\u2019s start of 112,000 units was powered by nearly 56,000 in SEA units (equating to 79.3 million on-demand streams for album\u2019s tracks), just under 53,000 in album sales, and a little over 3,000 in TEA units. (All numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, unlike many releases,&nbsp;<em>Rare<\/em>\u2019s bow was not enhanced by album sales generated from a concert ticket\/album sale redemption offer. However, it did get an assist from sales of many merchandise\/album bundles sold via Gomez\u2019s official website, as well as a deluxe CD with bonus tracks available only at Target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rare<\/em>&nbsp;is Gomez\u2019s sixth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 in total &#8212;&nbsp;the entirety of her studio efforts (both as a proper solo artist, and those with former backing band The Scene). Here\u2019s a rundown of Gomez\u2019s top 10s:&nbsp;<em>Rare<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 1),&nbsp;<em>Revival<\/em>&nbsp;(in 2015, No. 1),&nbsp;<em>Stars Dance<\/em>&nbsp;(2013, No. 1); and then her three projects with The Scene,&nbsp;<em>When the Sun Goes Down<\/em>&nbsp;(2011, No. 3),&nbsp;<em>A Year Without Rain<\/em>&nbsp;(2010, No. 4) and&nbsp;<em>Kiss and Tell<\/em>&nbsp;(2009, No. 9). The only Gomez album to miss the top 10 is the greatest hits package&nbsp;<em>For You<\/em>, which peaked at No. 24 in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rare<\/em>&nbsp;was led by the songs \u201cLose You to Love Me\u201d and \u201cLook at Her Now.\u201d The former became her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, vaulting 15-1 on the list dated Nov. 9, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/\">Roddy Ricch<\/a>\u200b\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial<\/em>&nbsp;falls one rung with 110,000 equivalent album units earned &#8212;&nbsp;though the set is up by 14% for the week (compared to the 97,000 units it tallied in the previous week). The rapper\u2019s album continues to profit from the huge streaming popularity of its song \u201cThe Box,\u201d which jumped to No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart a week ago (dated Jan. 18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of&nbsp;<em>Please Excuse Me<\/em>\u2019s total unit sum of 110,000 in the week ending Jan. 16, the vast majority was driven by streaming activity. 107,000 of its overall total are SEA units (up 13%), while just under 2,000 are TEA units (up 22%) and a little over 1,000 are album sales (up 30%). The album\u2019s 107,000 SEA units sum equates to 163.04 million in on-demand streams for the set\u2019s songs in the tracking week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second and final debut in the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 chart is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/moneybagg-yo\">Moneybagg Yo<\/a>\u2019s new&nbsp;<em>Time Served<\/em>, which starts at No. 3. The effort secures the rapper his highest charting album, as it enters with 66,000 equivalent album units earned, driven largely by streaming activity (59,000 SEA units, which translates to 84.1 million on-demand streams for the set\u2019s songs during the week). Moneybagg Yo previous visited the top 10 with&nbsp;<em>43VA Heartless<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 4 in 2019) and&nbsp;<em>Federal 3x<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 5 in 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the new top 10 comprises former No. 1s.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/post-malone\">Post Malone<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Hollywood\u2019s Bleeding<\/em>&nbsp;dips 2-4 with 60,000 equivalent album units (down 8%),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/dababy\">DaBaby<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Kirk<\/em>&nbsp;rises 6-5 with 43,000 units (up 5%) and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/harry-styles\">Harry Styles<\/a>\u2019&nbsp;<em>Fine Line<\/em>&nbsp;falls 3-6 with 41,000 units (down 16%).
