That marks the biggest week of 2024 by any album, Future\u2019s second-largest week ever and Metro Boomin\u2019s biggest week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in the top 10 of the new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/billboard\/\">Billboard<\/a>&nbsp;200,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/olivia-rodrigo\/\">Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u2019s chart-topping&nbsp;<em>Guts<\/em>&nbsp;zooms 18-2 following a deluxe reissue with additional tracks, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/hozier\/\">Hozier<\/a>\u2019s new four-song EP&nbsp;<em>Unheard<\/em>&nbsp;starts at No. 10, largely powered by its streaming-driven hit \u201cToo Sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/billboard-200\/\">Billboard 200<\/a>\u00a0chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on\u00a0multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. 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 April 6, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>\u2018s website on April 2.

For the latter, he logged a bigger week only with another joint effort, when his team-up with Drake on\u00a0<em>What a Time to Be Alive<\/em>\u00a0scored 375,000 units in its opening week (Oct. 10, 2015-dated chart), largely powered by traditional album sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further,&nbsp;<em>We Don\u2019t Trust You<\/em>\u2019s SEA sum of 245,000 translates to 324.31 million on-demand official streams for the set\u2019s songs \u2014 the biggest streaming week for any album since Taylor Swift\u2019s&nbsp;<em>1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>&nbsp;racked up 375.49 million clicks for its 21 songs on the Nov. 11, 2023 chart.&nbsp;<em>We Don\u2019t Trust You<\/em>&nbsp;also claims the biggest streaming week for any album by Future or Metro Boomin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We Don\u2019t Trust You<\/em>&nbsp;was announced on March 8 as the first of a two-album project, with its sequel,&nbsp;<em>We Still Don\u2019t Trust You<\/em>, due April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We Don\u2019t Trust You<\/em>\u00a0boasts featured artists Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti, Rick Ross, Travis Scott and The Weeknd. However, the set was initially unveiled on March 22 through digital platforms without revealing the featured artists. A few days later, the set\u2019s tracklist was updated to display the guest stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album\u2019s most-streamed song of the week is \u201cLike That,\u201d a co-billed track with Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar, which sent \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/future-metro-boomin-we-dont-believe-you-number-one-debut-1235642951\/\">social media into an absolute tizzy<\/a>.\u201d On the track, Lamar \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/kendrick-lamar-like-that-diss-drake-j-cole-1235639356\/\">throws several volleys, suggestively targeting Drake and J.

The set surges back up the list following its deluxe reissue on March 22 (dubbed the&nbsp;<em>Guts [Spilled]<\/em>&nbsp;edition) with five additional tracks. The&nbsp;<em>Spilled<\/em>&nbsp;edition of&nbsp;<em>Guts<\/em>&nbsp;was issued as a digital download album and via streaming services. It\u2019s not available as a deluxe physical album presently, but will be issued on vinyl on July 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the five added songs, four of them (\u201cObsessed,\u201d \u201cGirl I\u2019ve Always Been,\u201d \u201cScared of My Guitar\u201d and \u201cStranger\u201d) were previously issued as bonus tracks on vinyl editions of the original\u00a0<em>Guts<\/em>\u00a0release last year, and then collected for a four-song vinyl EP,\u00a0<em>Guts: The Secret Tracks<\/em>, that was issued for Record Store Day Black Friday last November. The fifth added song to the new\u00a0<em>Guts<\/em>\u00a0deluxe is \u201cSo American,\u201d a previously unreleased track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Billboard 200,&nbsp;<em>Guts<\/em>&nbsp;vaults to its highest rank since the Oct. 7, 2023-dated list, when it also placed at No. 2 in its third week on the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pair of former No. 1s is next up on the Billboard 200, as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/ariana-grande\/\">Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Eternal Sunshine<\/em>&nbsp;falls 1-3 in its third week (72,000 equivalent album units; down 29%) and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/morgan-wallen\/\">Morgan Wallen<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>One Thing at a Time<\/em>&nbsp;dips 3-4 (68,000; down 3%).&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/noah-kahan\/\">Noah Kahan<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Stick Season<\/em>&nbsp;is steady at No. 5 with 44,000 (down 3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former chart-toppers populate Nos. 6-9 on the latest chart, and all are non-movers from the previous week.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/sza\/\">SZA<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>SOS<\/em>\u00a0is No. 6 (41,000; down 6%),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/taylor-swift\/\">Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Lover<\/em>\u00a0is No. 7 (40,000; down 1%),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/zach-bryan\/\">Zach Bryan<\/a>\u2019s self-titled album is No. 8 (39,000; down 3%) and Swift\u2019s\u00a0<em>1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>\u00a0is No. 9 (38,000; down 4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hozier rounds out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 as his four-song EP&nbsp;<em>Unheard<\/em>&nbsp;debuts at No. 10. The set earned nearly 38,000 equivalent album units, mostly from streaming activity. Of that starting sum, SEA units comprise 34,000 (equaling 44.15 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s four songs), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.&nbsp;<em>Unheard<\/em>&nbsp;marks Hozier\u2019s fourth top 10-charting effort, following&nbsp;<em>Unreal Unearth<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 3, 2023),&nbsp;<em>Wasteland, Baby!<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 1, 2019) and his self-titled set (No. 2, 2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Unheard<\/em>\u00a0collects four songs that were recorded for, but not included on,\u00a0<em>Unreal Unearth<\/em>.
