The set, which was released on March 9 through Visionary\/Def Jam, bows with 119,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 15, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 32,000 were in traditional album sales.<\/p>\n<p>The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/chart-beat\/6320099\/billboard-200-makeover-streams-digital-tracks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multi-metric consumption<\/a>, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new\u00a0March 24-dated chart (where Logic debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s websites on\u00a0Tuesday, March 20.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bobby Tarantino II<\/em>\u2019s debut was powered mostly by streams, as the album launches with 82,000 SEA units (equaling 123 million on-demand audio streams for the album\u2019s tracks in the week ending March 15; each SEA unit equals 1,500 on-demand audio streams). With 32,000 copies of the album sold, the remainder of the title\u2019s equivalent units was generated by TEA units (5,000).<\/p>\n<p>Logic topped the Billboard 200 less than a year ago with his last studio album,\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>. The effort opened at No. 1 on the list dated May 27, 2017 with 247,000 units earned (of which 196,000 were in traditional album sales).<\/p>\n<p>Notably, while\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>\u2019s overall debut figure was larger than\u00a0<em>Bobby Tarantino II<\/em>(thanks to\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>\u2019s robust debut-week album sales figure of 196,000),\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>tallied a far\u00a0<em>smaller<\/em>\u00a0streaming bow.<\/p>\n<p><em>Everybody<\/em>\u00a0debuted with 47,000 SEA units, which translates to 70 million on-demand audio streams. Though,\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>\u00a0arrived before Logic\u2019s breakthrough single, \u201c1-800-273-8255,\u201d featuring\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/alessia-cara\">Alessia Cara<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/khalid\">Khalid<\/a>, had become a smash hit. The track, from\u00a0<em>Everybody<\/em>, raised Logic\u2019s profile in the past year and gave him his first top 10 hit on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-100\">Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. It peaked at No. 3 on the Sept. 30 Hot 100 chart, and was later nominated for two Grammy Awards, including song of the year. So, it would stand to reason that Logic came into the opening week of\u00a0<em>Bobby Tarantino II<\/em>\u00a0with much higher visibility with music fans, and thus a bigger week on\u00a0streaming services.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Logic\u2019s previous mixtape,\u00a0<em>Bobby Tarantino<\/em>, debuted and peaked at No. 12 in 2016 with 19,000 units in its first week (of which 16,000 were in traditional album sales).<\/p>\n<p>At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/lil-yachty\">Lil Yachty<\/a>\u00a0notches a new personal high-water mark on the list, as he sails in with his new studio album,\u00a0<em>Lil Boat 2<\/em>, bowing with 64,000 units (7,000 in traditional album sales). It\u2019s his highest charting album yet, second top 10 effort, and best week in terms of units earned.<\/p>\n<p>Streaming activity, by far, fuels\u00a0<em>Lil Boat 2<\/em>\u2019s debut, as it earned 54,000 SEA units. Even without album sales and TEA units (2,000),\u00a0<em>Lil Boat 2<\/em>\u00a0still would have debuted in the top five from just streams alone. Lil Yachty\u2019s first studio set,\u00a0<em>Teenage Emotions<\/em>, debuted at No. 5 (June 17, 2017) with 46,000 units.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/david-byrne\">David Byrne<\/a>\u00a0earns his highest charting album ever on the Billboard 200, as\u00a0<em>American Utopia<\/em>\u00a0enters at No. 3 with 63,000 units. Unlike Logic and Lil Yachty, Byrne\u2019s debut is driven by traditional album sales, as effectively all of its units were in pure sales (resulting in his biggest sales week since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991).\u00a0<em>American Utopia<\/em>\u2019s arrival was enhanced by sales generated from a concert ticket\/album sale redemption offer with the artist\u2019s tour, which started earlier in March.<\/p>\n<p><em>American Utopia<\/em>\u00a0is Byrne\u2019s first solo effort since 2004\u2019s\u00a0<em>Grown Backwards<\/em>, which debuted and peaked at No. 178. Since then, he\u2019s released a trio of collaborative efforts:\u00a0<em>Everything That Happens Will Happen Today<\/em>, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/brian-eno\">Brian Eno<\/a>\u00a0(No. 174 in 2009);\u00a0<em>Here Lies Love<\/em>, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/fatboy-slim\">Fatboy Slim<\/a>\u00a0(No. 96, 2010); and\u00a0<em>Love This Giant<\/em>, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/st-vincent\">St. Vincent<\/a>(No. 23, 2012). The latter was Byrne\u2019s highest charting album, only top 40 set, until the arrival of\u00a0<em>American Utopia<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Byrne made his solo debut on the list in 1981 with\u00a0<em>The Catherine Wheel<\/em>, which topped out at No. 104 in 1982.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/talking-heads\">Talking Heads<\/a>, of which Byrne was a member, charted a dozen albums on the Billboard 200 between 1977 and 2009. Eight of them reached the top 40, with the act\u2019s highest-charting effort being 1983\u2019s\u00a0<em>Speaking in Tongues<\/em>. The album reached No. 15, powered by its hit single \u201cBurning Down the House.\u201d The track was the band\u2019s only top 10 on the Hot 100, climbing to No. 9.<\/p>\n<p>Byrne\u2019s new album was led by the single \u201cEverybody\u2019s Coming to My House,\u201d which has reached No. 5 on the most recently published Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart (dated March 17).<\/p>\n<p>With Logic, Lil Yachty and Byrne debuting at Nos. 1-3, the Billboard 200\u2019s top three are new entries for the first time in four months. It last happened on Nov. 18, 2017 when\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/kenny-chesney\">Kenny Chesney<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Live in No Shoes Nation<\/em>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/kelly-clarkson\">Kelly Clarkson<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Meaning of Life<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chris-brown\">Chris Brown<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Heartbreak on a Full Moon<\/em>\u00a0bowed at Nos. 1-3, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Back on the current Billboard 200,\u00a0<em>Black Panther: The Album<\/em>\u00a0drops from No. 1 to No. 4 with 63,000 units (down 18 percent).

Like Byrne, Judas Priest&#8217;s bow was bolstered by a concert ticket\/album sale redemption offer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Firepower<\/em>\u00a0surpasses the group\u2019s previous chart high, logged with 2014\u2019s\u00a0<em>Redeemer of Souls<\/em>\u00a0debuted and peaked at No. 6. The two sets are the veteran band\u2019s only top 10 efforts, though the act has been charting since 1978 with\u00a0<em>Stained Class\u00a0<\/em>(No. 173). The group collected its first top 40 set in 1980 with\u00a0<em>British Steel<\/em>\u00a0(No. 34) and its first top 20 effort with 1982\u2019s\u00a0<em>Screaming for Vengeance\u00a0<\/em>(No. 17).<\/p>\n<p>The new album was ushered in by the single \u201cLightning Strike,\u201d which has so far peaked at No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart. It\u2019s the band\u2019s highest charting single on the tally since way back in 1982, when their classic hit \u201cYou\u2019ve Got Another Thing Comin\u2019\u201d peaked at No. 4.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Greatest Showman<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack dips 2-6 on the new Billboard 200, earning 48,000 units (down 21 percent), while Migos\u2019\u00a0<em>Culture II<\/em>\u00a0descends 4-7 with 45,000 units (down 13 percent).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/jimi-hendrix\">Jimi Hendrix<\/a>\u2019s latest posthumous album,\u00a0<em>Both Sides of the Sky<\/em>, arrives at No. 8, garnering the rock legend his 10th top 10 effort. The archival set &#8212; released via Experience Hendrix\/Legacy &#8212; launched with 37,000 units, of which 35,000 were in traditional album sales.<\/p>\n<p>The 13-track\u00a0<em>Both Sides of the Sky<\/em>\u00a0album contains 10 previously unreleased recordings made between 1968 and 1970. It\u2019s the third in a trilogy of albums that house, according to Hendrix\u2019s record labels, the \u201cbest and most significant unissued studio recordings remaining\u201d in Hendrix\u2019s vault. The series began with 2010\u2019s\u00a0<em>Valleys of Neptune<\/em>\u00a0(No. 4) and was followed by 2013\u2019s\u00a0<em>People, Hell and Angels<\/em>(No. 2).<\/p>\n<p><em>Both Sides of the Sky<\/em>\u00a0is the fifth of five debuts in the new top 10 &#8212; the most the region has seen since the Nov. 25, 2017-dated list.
