The set was released on Sept. 11 via Never Broke Again\/Artist Partner Group\/Atlantic and earned 126,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 17, according to Nielsen Music\/MRC Data.<\/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). 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 Sept. 26-dated chart (where&nbsp;<em>Top<\/em>&nbsp;debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s website on Tuesday, Sept. 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of\u00a0<em>Top<\/em>\u2019s 126,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, 106,000 are from SEA units (equaling 156.32 million on-demand streams of the set\u2019s songs in its first week), 19,000 comprise album sales and a little under 1,000 are in TEA units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top<\/em>&nbsp;is YoungBoy\u2019s third total No. 1 album, and all have come within 11 months\u2019 time. The 20-year-old first topped the list with&nbsp;<em>AI YoungBoy 2<\/em>, which bowed at No. 1 on the chart dated Oct. 26, 2019. He scored his second leader with&nbsp;<em>38 Baby 2<\/em>&nbsp;on May 9, 2020, followed by&nbsp;<em>Top<\/em>&nbsp;on the Sept. 26, 2020, chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last act to score three No. 1s faster was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/bts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BTS<\/a>, which logged its first three No. 1s in a slightly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/chart-beat\/8507977\/bts-map-of-the-soul-persona-no-1-album-billboard-200-chart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quicker clip<\/a>&nbsp;than YoungBoy: 10 months and 25 days, with&nbsp;<em>Love Yourself: Tear<\/em>&nbsp;(June 2, 2018),&nbsp;<em>Love Yourself: Answer<\/em>&nbsp;(Sept. 8, 2018) and&nbsp;<em>Love Yourself:<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Persona<\/em>&nbsp;(April 27, 2019).

Since debuting on the list dated Aug. 26, 2017, he\u2019s placed 15 albums on the list, including four EPs. No other artist has charted as many albums of newly recorded material in that same span of time. (Only the\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/grateful-dead\" target=\"_blank\">Grateful Dead<\/a>\u00a0has placed more entries on the chart since Aug. 26, 2017 \u2013 with 22 charting efforts. But all of those were archival sets or compilation albums.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Warner Music\u2019s Atlantic atop the Billboard 200, Warner breaks up the chart-topping monopoly Universal Music Group (UMG) had for the previous 15 weeks. From the June 13 through Sept. 19 charts, a UMG title sat at No. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pop-smoke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pop Smoke<\/a>\u2019s former leader&nbsp;<em>Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon&nbsp;<\/em>is a non-mover with 73,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2 percent), while&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/juice-wrld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juice WRLD<\/a>\u2019s previous No. 1&nbsp;<em>Legends Never Die<\/em>&nbsp;is also stationary at No. 3 with 54,000 units (down 5 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor Swift\u2019s former No. 1&nbsp;<em>Folklore<\/em>&nbsp;rises one spot to No. 4 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9 percent) while the original Broadway cast recording of&nbsp;<em>Hamilton: An American Musical<\/em>&nbsp;is up one rung to No. 5 with 41,000 units (down 6 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;<em>Hamilton<\/em>&nbsp;(released via Hamilton Uptown\/Atlantic) in the top five alongside YoungBoy\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Top<\/em>, Atlantic has two titles in the top five at the same time for the first time since May 9, when YoungBoy\u2019s&nbsp;<em>38 Baby 2<\/em>&nbsp;debuted at No. 1 while&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/lil-uzi-vert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lil Uzi Vert<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Eternal Atake<\/em>&nbsp;(Generation Now\/Atlantic) was at No. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/lil-baby\" target=\"_blank\">Lil Baby<\/a>\u2019s former No. 1\u00a0<em>My Turn<\/em>\u00a0climbs 7-6 on the new Billboard 200 with 40,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1 percent), while\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/big-sean\" target=\"_blank\">Big Sean<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Detroit 2<\/em>\u00a0falls 1-7 in its second week with 37,000 units (down 64 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rock band&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/marilyn-manson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marilyn Manson<\/a>&nbsp;scores its 10th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as&nbsp;<em>We Are Chaos<\/em>&nbsp;bows at No. 8. The set, which was released via Loma Vista\/Concord, enters with 31,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 28,000 is from album sales (encouraged by a variety physical formats of the album on offer), 3,000 from SEA units (equaling 4 million in on-demand streams of the set\u2019s tracks) and less than 1,000 from TEA units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We Are Chaos<\/em>&nbsp;was available in an array of vinyl LP editions (including exclusive color variant versions for Target, Best Buy, indie retailers and the band\u2019s webstore), as well as a CD deluxe edition with bonus tracks, and even multiple cassette variants. The many permutations of the album encouraged sales, as the set also debuts at No. 1 on the Album Sales chart, the Vinyl Albums chart (with 8,000 sold on vinyl LP) and the Tastemakers chart. The latter ranks the biggest selling albums of the week at independent and small chain retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marilyn Manson previously reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with&nbsp;<em>Heaven Upside Down<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 8 in 2017),&nbsp;<em>The Pale Emperor<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 8, 2015),&nbsp;<em>Born Villain<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 10, 2012),&nbsp;<em>The High End of Low<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 4, 2009),&nbsp;<em>Eat Me, Drink Me<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 8, 2007),&nbsp;<em>Lest We Forget: The Best Of<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 9, 2004),&nbsp;<em>The Golden Age of Grotesque<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 1, 2003),&nbsp;<em>Mechanical Animals<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 1, 1998) and&nbsp;<em>Antichrist Superstar<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 3, 1996).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing out the Billboard 200\u2019s new top 10 are\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rod-wave\" target=\"_blank\">Rod Wave<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Pray 4 Love<\/em>, falling 8-9 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8 percent), and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/post-malone\" target=\"_blank\">Post Malone<\/a>\u2019s previous No. 1\u00a0<em>Hollywood\u2019s Bleeding<\/em>, steady at No. 10 with 29,000 units (down 3 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: billboard.com<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1961\" data-postid=\"1961\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1961 themify_builder themify_builder_front\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plus: Marilyn Manson scores 10th top 10 album with arrival of &#8216;We Are Chaos.&#8217; Rapper&nbsp;YoungBoy Never Broke Again&nbsp;achieves his third No. 1 album on the&nbsp;Billboard 200&nbsp;chart in less than a year, as the fittingly titled&nbsp;Top&nbsp;debuts atop the tally.
