The last soundtrack to score a bigger week was Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper\u2019s&nbsp;<em>A Star Is Born<\/em>, which registered 129,000 on the March 9, 2019, chart (at No. 1), following its exposure on that year\u2019s Academy Awards (Feb. 24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Barbie<\/em>&nbsp;marks the highest charting soundtrack in more than a year, since&nbsp;<em>Encanto<\/em>&nbsp;led the list for nine nonconsecutive weeks (January-March 2022).&nbsp;<em>Barbie<\/em>&nbsp;is also the highest debut for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since the Beyonc\u00e9-led&nbsp;<em>The Lion King: The Gift<\/em>&nbsp;also opened at No. 2 three years ago (Aug. 3, 2019, chart).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Barbie<\/em>\u00a0album features new music from Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice and Sam Smith (among many others), and even a pair of tracks from the film\u2019s co-star Ryan Gosling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of&nbsp;<em>Barbie<\/em>\u2019s starting unit sum of 126,000, SEA units comprise 70,000 (equaling 93.81 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s 19 songs), album sales comprise 53,000, and TEA units comprise 3,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile,<em>\u00a0Barbie<\/em>\u00a0boasts the largest sales week on vinyl for a theatrical film soundtrack (33,000) since Luminate began electronically tracking music sales in 1991.
