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 June 26, 2021-dated chart (where&nbsp;<em>Hall of Fame<\/em>&nbsp;debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s website on June 22.

Of that sum, SEA units comprise 106,000 (equaling 144.57 million on-demand streams of the album\u2019s tracks), album sales comprise 22,500 and TEA units comprise nearly 2,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Culture III<\/em>\u00a0was initially released on June 11 as a 19-track album, but was bolstered be a deluxe edition release on June 17 that added five extra tracks.

Like many K-pop releases, the CD edition of the album was issued in multiple collectible packages (four, including a Target-exclusive edition), each with assorted internal paper goods and randomized elements. Of the album\u2019s 43,000 copies sold, the CD editions combined sold 39,000. The rest of the sales came from the album\u2019s digital download.&nbsp;<em>Taste of Love<\/em>&nbsp;is the first top 10 for the nine-member act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bo Burnham\u2019s\u00a0<em>Inside (The Songs)<\/em>\u00a0jumps from No. 116 to No. 7 after its first full tracking week of activity, earning 37,000 equivalent album units (up 330%).
