The smash matches the reign of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” claims a record-equaling 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now tied for the longest reign with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), which dominated for 19 weeks in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July. It has also ruled the Hot Country Songs chart (for 23 weeks and counting), Country Airplay, Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay, among other surveys.

A fan of multiple musical styles upon discovering music, Shaboozey “found country to be the thing that resonated with me in a really strong way,” he shared for a recent Billboard cover story. “Me being from Virginia, me loving the style and the way of life and the things they talked about … it all seemed very peaceful. It seemed like I could be real. I found country music could teach people that the little things in life are where the value is. Just having a working truck that you can take your girl in to ride to a cliff and watch the sunset is enough.”

“I love hip-hop; I’m a part of their community, too,” Shaboozey added, with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” having reworked J-Kwon’s 2004 hit “Tipsy.” “That’s what I want to do with my music: be disruptive and show people that music is progressing.”

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 30, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 26).

Plus: Linkin Park, Jin and Rauw Alejandro debut in the top 10, while ENHYPEN’s ‘ROMANCE: UNTOLD’ re-enters the top 10 after its reissue.

ATEEZ add their second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2 debuts atop the list (dated Nov. 30) with 184,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 21, according to Luminate. With an opening frame driven largely by album sales — 179,000 copies sold — the set marks the best week yet for the pop ensemble by both units earned or traditional album sales.

The act previously topped the chart with THE WORLD EP.FIN: WILL in 2023. In total, GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2 is the sixth top 10-charting set for the group, all consecutive.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Linkin Park logs its 12th top 10-charting set with the No. 2 bow of From Zero; Jin’s debut album, Happy, enters at No. 3; Rauw Alejandro achieves his first top 10 with the arrival of Cosa Nuestra at No. 6; and ENHYPEN’s ROMANCE: UNTOLD re-enters the list at No. 7 following its reissue on Nov. 15 (dubbed ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-) with two bonus tracks. The set debuted and peaked at No. 2 in July.

With K-pop acts ATEEZ, Jin and ENHYPEN at Nos. 1, 4 and 7, respectively, on the Billboard 200, there are three K-pop albums in the top 10 for the first time.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-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 Nov. 30, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 26). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2’s 184,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 179,000 (it’s the top-selling album of the week and debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales; it’s also the sixth-largest sales debut week of 2024 for any title), SEA units comprise 5,000 (equaling 6.43 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 29 physical format variants (23 CDs and six vinyl editions; all containing collectible branded paper ephemera, some randomized) and three digital download variants (a standard edition and two versions containing voice notes from the acts as bonus tracks).

As GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2 is mostly in the Korean language, it is the 26th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the third of 2024. Two other mostly-Korean-language sets topped the chart earlier this year: on the Aug. 3-dated list, Stray Kids’ ATE become the group’s fifth leader, and on the March 9 ranking, TWICE’s With YOU-th garnered the act its first leader. Of the 26 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 17 are mostly Korean, five mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French, and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French. Of the 26 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 22 have topped the chart since 2018 (the year that K-pop superstars BTS scored their first of six No. 1s, the chart’s first Korean-language leaders).

Linkin Park returns to the Billboard 200 with its first new studio album in seven years, as From Zero enters at No. 2 with 97,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 72,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 24,000 (equaling 32.18 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it bows at No. 17 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000. From Zero is the band’s 12th top 10-charting set and the first to feature new members Emily Armstrong (co-lead vocals) and Colin Brittain (drums). The album is the first without vocalist Chester Bennington (who died in 2017) and drummer Rob Bourdon (who departed the group in 2018).

From Zero’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across 11 vinyl editions (multiple color variants, two picture discs and four alternative cover versions), four CD variants (including a deluxe boxed set containing branded merch and a CD, and a Zine/CD package), two cassette editions and two digital download editions. All versions of the album contain the same 11 songs, except for one download album, which boasts three bonus live tracks.

The new album was announced on Sept. 5 during a livestream concert that also announced Armstrong and Brittain joining the band, along with the release of the set’s first single “The Emptiness Machine.” The track debuted and peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the highest charting cut from the band since 2009’s “New Divide” hit No. 6. “Emptiness” also led the Alternative Airplay chart for five weeks, marking the 13th leader for the band on the ranking. Three more songs previewing the album were released before From Zero dropped on Nov. 15: “Heavy Is the Crown,” “Over Each Other” and “Two Faced.”

Tyler, The Creator’s chart-topping CHROMAKOPIA falls 1-3 in its fourth week on the chart, after spending its first three weeks atop the list. It earned 81,000 equivalent album units in its fourth charting frame (down 22%).

BTS’ Jin sees his solo debut project, Happy, bow at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 77,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 66,000 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 8,000 (equaling 10.53 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise 3,000. Happy’s first-week sales were enhanced by its availability across 13 CD variants (containing branded paper ephemera, some editions include randomized items) and seven digital variants (a standard version, two with alternate cover art, and four with assorted bonus tracks ranging from a voice memo to remixes).

Happy is Jin’s first charting album on the Billboard 200, and he becomes the seventh, and final, member of BTS to have achieved a top 10-charting effort. BTS itself has logged seven top 10s, including six No. 1s. BTS is the first K-pop act to see all of its members chart a solo top 10 title on the Billboard 200.

Sabrina Carpenter’s former leader Short n’ Sweet dips 3-5 with 72,000 units (up 6%).

Rauw Alejandro lands his first top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as Cosa Nuestra debuts at No. 6 with 67,000 equivalent album units earned — the artist’s biggest week by units earned. The album’s opening week was overwhelming driven by streaming activity, as SEA units comprise 66,000 of the album’s first week (equaling 87.66 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums). Album sales comprise 1,000 (from just one digital download edition of the album) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Cosa Nuestra boasts guests including Bad Bunny, Laura Pausini, Romeo Santos and Pharrell Williams.

ENHYPEN’s ROMANCE: UNTOLD re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 7 with 54,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week (up 960%), following it Nov. 15 repackage and reissue with two bonus tracks. The new iteration of the album is dubbed ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-. All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes. The initial release of the project debuted and peaked at No. 2 in July.

Of the album’s 54,000 units earned in the week ending Nov. 21, album sales comprise 51,000 (up 1,473%, it jumps 26-4 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.45 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s album sales were bolstered by its availability across 12 new CD variants and three new download editions, joining its previously available 17 CD editions, two vinyl variants and a standard download album. All physical editions of the album contain branded paper ephemera, some randomized.

Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200: Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us (4-8 with 50,000 equivalent album units; down 5%), Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft (5-9 with 49,000; up 2%) and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (6-10 with 43,000; down 8%).

Plus, Gracie Abrams achieves her first top 10 with “That’s So True.”

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now one week away from potentially tying for the longest reign, held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), which dominated for 19 weeks in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July.

The party anthem additionally extends the longest rule this year, 22 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only seven hits to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958.

Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams makes her first appearance in the Hot 100’s top 10, as “That’s So True” blasts from No. 13 to No. 6. It also becomes the first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart for the singer-songwriter, who’s currently the sole opening act on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.

Plus: TOMORROW X TOGETHER debuts at No. 2.

Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA spends a third consecutive and total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 23). It’s the artist’s album with the most weeks atop the list, surpassing the two weeks spent at No. 1 by his previous leader, Call Me If You Get Lost in 2021-22.

CHROMAKOPIA earned 104,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 14 (down 35% in its third week), according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, TOMORROW X TOGETHER debuts at No. 2 with The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY, marking the sixth top 10-charting set for the group.

The album continues to profit from sales generated by Tyler, The Creator’s official webstore, with the set’s vinyl, CD, and eight previously available deluxe collectible boxed sets continuing to ship to customers. The third week also saw four additional boxed sets shipped to customers. All boxed sets contain a CD, poster and another branded merch item in a branded box. All physical editions of the album are exclusively sold via the artist’s webstore.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER nabs its sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY debuts at No. 2. The set earned 98,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 95,500 of that sum (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,500 (equaling 3.74 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 23 CD variants (all containing collectible branded paper ephemera, some randomized), eight digital download variants (seven were exclusive to the act’s official webstore; all included bonus tracks).

The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY is the group’s second top 10-charting effort of 2024, following No. 3-peaking Minisode 3: TOMORROW in April.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet slips 2-3 on the Billboard 200 (68,000 equivalent album units earned; up 1%), Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us climbs 5-4 (52,000; up 5%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft spikes 7-5 (48,000; up 9%) to round out the top five.

The hit solely claims the longest rule ever for a song with no accompanying acts.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds at No. 1 for a 17th total week atop the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now outright the longest-leading No. 1 ever by an artist with no accompanying acts, surpassing the 16-week command of Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” in 2023.

Overall, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now trails only Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019, for the longest No. 1 run – 19 weeks – in the Hot 100’s archives.

Meanwhile, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July, one-ups “Last Night” for the longest reign of the 2020s.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest rule this year, 21 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only eight titles to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958. Plus, of hits that have topped both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now solely the longest-leading ever on the former, passing “Last Night.”

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, jumps 14-10. It’s Tyler, The Creator’s third career top 10, all tallied in the past two weeks from his new album, Chromakopia, which posts a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Plus: Lil Uzi Vert and The Cure debut in the top five.

Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA secures a second consecutive and total week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 16). It’s the rapper’s first album to spend two consecutive weeks at No. 1, and second set to log at least two frames in the lead. He previously notched two nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 with Call Me If You Get Lost — separated by nine months — in 2021-22. He ruled the list with one other album, Igor, which logged one frame at No. 1 in 2019.

CHROMAKOPIA earned 160,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 7 (down 47% in its second week), according to Luminate. It’s the set’s first full seven-day tracking week on the chart, following an abbreviated debut frame of only four days, as the album was released on an off-cycle Monday (Oct. 28; most albums are released on Fridays).

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, Lil Uzi Vert scores their fifth top 10 set with the No. 3 debut of Eternal Atake 2, while The Cure achieves its highest charting album over 30 years, and first top 10 in over 20 years, with the No. 4 debut of Songs of a Lost World.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-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 Nov. 16, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 12). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of CHROMAKOPIA’s 160,000 equivalent album units earned in its second week, SEA units comprise 115,500 (down 27%, equaling 160.31 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 44,500 (down 69%; it falls to No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum (down 3%). The set’s sales were aided in its second week by the continued sturdy sales of six deluxe collectible boxed sets (each containing a CD, poster and another branded merch item). The album’s second week got a sales boost from the release of its stand-alone CD and two additional boxed sets. All physical variants of the album are exclusively sold via Tyler, The Creator’s official webstore.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet steps 3-2 with 68,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9%).

Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake 2 bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking the fifth top 10-charting set for the rapper (all of which have reached the top three). The set launches with 59,000 equivalent album units earned, of which SEA units comprise 56,000 (equaling 76.43 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The album was announced Oct. 24 and released on Nov. 1. Its first-week sales were aided by the album’s availability across seven CD variants (five with a randomized branded trading card; one with a branded T-shirt and a CD in a collectible box; and a standard CD) and a digital download.

The Cure debuts in the top five on the Billboard 200 with Songs of a Lost World, bowing at No. 4, marking the band’s highest charting album since 1992 and first top 10 since 2004. Songs of a Lost World is the group’s first album of new material since 2008. The new album is the act’s third top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200, following its self-titled effort (No. 7 in July 2004) and Wish (No. 2 in May 1992).

Songs of a Lost World bows with 57,000 equivalent album units earned (the act’s best week by units). Of that sum, album sales comprise 53,000 (The Cure’s biggest sales week since 2004, when its self-titled album launched with 91,000), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 5.02 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Songs of a Lost World also debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales; the first leader for The Cure on the 33-year-old chart. The new album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across five vinyl variants (which sold a combined 23,000 copies; the band’s best week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991), a standard CD, a CD/blu-ray audio package, two cassettes, a standard digital download and a deluxe digital download with five bonus live tracks (exclusive to the band’s webstore).

Songs of a Lost World was released on Nov. 1, and cryptically announced in early September. The set’s title and release date were confirmed on Sept. 26, alongside the release of the album’s first cut (and first new song in 16 years), “Alone.” On Oct. 9, a second song from the set, “A Fragile Thing,” arrived. The latter track climbs 25-22 (a new peak) on Alternative Airplay and 12-10 on Adult Alternative Airplay. It’s the first charting hit for The Cure on Alternative Airplay since 2008 and the band’s highest-charting song since 2004’s “The End of the World” reached No. 19. On the Adult Alternative Airplay ranking, “Fragile” is the act’s third charting song ever (dating to the chart’s 1996 start), and first to reach the top 10.

Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us rises 7-5 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units (up 2%).

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess pounces 12-6 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), following the singer’s performance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (Nov. 2). On the show, she sang the album’s “Pink Pony Club” and a new track, “The Giver.” Princess was last in the top 10 on the Oct. 26-date list when it ranked at No. 6.

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft climbs 9-7 on the Billboard 200 (44,000 equivalent album units; down 4%); Rod Wave’s Last Lap falls 5-8 (44,000; down 15%); Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Tortured Poets Department ascends 11-9 (43,000; down 2%); and Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time falls 8-10 (nearly 43,000; down 7%).

Plus, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” hits a new No. 2 high and Tyler, the Creator notches his first two top 10s.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rebounds a spot for a 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, matching the longest reign of the 2020s. The song, which became the singer-songwriter’s first leader in July, matches the domination of Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” – like “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” a country-pop crossover smash – in 2023.

Over the Hot 100’s entire 66-year history, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now tied for the second-longest command, among just five hits to have led for at least 16 weeks. Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, ruled for a record 19 weeks in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest No. 1 run this year – 20 weeks – on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only nine titles to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises 4-2 for a new high, aided by three new versions and sale-pricing during the tracking week.

Plus, Tyler, the Creator notches his first two Hot 100 top 10s: “St. Chroma,” featuring Daniel Caesar – the week’s most-streamed song – debuts at No. 7 and “Noid” soars 43-10. Both are from his new album, Chromakopia, which launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 9, 2024) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Nov. 5). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Plus, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars debut at No. 8 with “APT.”

Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” leaps onto the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1.

The single, released Oct. 18, arrives as Wallen’s third Hot 100 leader, after Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Wallen, opened on top in May and reigned for six weeks, and “Last Night” dominated for 16 weeks in 2023.

Notably, Wallen maintains the longest Hot 100 reign of the 2020s with “Last Night” – his new No. 1 dethrones Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which a week earlier tallied its 15th week in the top spot (and remains tied with Harry Styles’ 2022 hit “As It Was” for the second-longest command this decade).

“Love Somebody,” on Mercury/Big Loud/Republic, becomes the 1,175th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 66-year history, and the first to debut atop the chart since “I Had Some Help.”

“‘Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically,” Wallen shared in a statement upon the release of the longing love song, which he co-wrote. “I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about … how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”

Plus, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars soar onto the Hot 100 at No. 8 with “APT.” BLACKPINK member ROSÉ earns her first top 10 as a soloist, outpacing the group’s No. 13 best set by “Ice Cream,” with Selena Gomez, in 2012. She also makes history as the first female artist prominent in K-pop (Korean pop) to hit the top 10. Mars, meanwhile, adds his milestone 20th Hot 100 top 10.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 2, 2024) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Oct. 29).

Plus: SEVENTEEN debuts in the top five, while Gracie Abrams returns to the top 10 after deluxe reissue.

Yeat lands his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as Lyfestyle debuts atop the list dated Nov. 2. The set earned 89,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 24, according to Luminate — his best week ever by units, largely driven by album sales. Lyfestyle is the fifth total and consecutive top 10-charting set for the rapper, who had gone as high as No. 2 in March with 2093.

Also in the new top 10 of the Billboard 200, SEVENTEEN snares its sixth top 10 effort, all earned consecutively, as SPILL THE FEELS debuts at No. 5. Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us surges 19-8 following a deluxe reissue with added songs, for its first week in the top 10 since it debuted at No. 2 in July.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-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 Nov. 2, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 29). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Lyfestyle’s 89,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 60,000 (Yeat’s best sales week ever; it’s No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 29,000 (equaling 39.67 million on-demand official streams of the songs on the streaming edition of the album; it debuts at No. 17 on the Top Streaming Albums chart) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Lyfestyle’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across many variants, exclusively sold through the artist’s webstore. Lyfestyle’s opening-week sales actually exceed the cumulative sales of Yeat’s entire album catalog before this past week. Until Lyfestyle’s release, his catalog of albums had sold a combined 35,000 copies.

The new album, his fifth full-length studio effort, was issued as a widely-available 22-track digital download and streaming set, and in a CD and vinyl edition exclusively sold through his webstore. (It’s the first time Yeat has released an album on CD.) The CDs were only available as part of deluxe boxed sets (exclusive to his webstore), and all CDs and vinyls were signed by the artist. There were six different deluxe CD boxed sets, each containing a T-shirt and a CD inside a branded box. There were also three webstore-exclusive CD variants, signed by the artist, and each contained two additional bonus tracks unique to the CD (one has “Style Lyfe” and “Back Thën,” the second has “5Brazy” and “Barbarian” and the third has “Graveyard” and “Gonë”)

In addition, Yeat’s webstore offered two exclusive digital download album variants — one with the bonus track “Project Lyfestyle” and one with four bonus tracks: “Project Lyfestyle,” “For Lyfe,” “Night Come” and “5Brazy Remix,” featuring Quavo.

All of the bonus tracks on the CD and download album variants were not available to purchase as stand-alone tracks through any retailer, nor available to stream through an official service.

In total, of Lyfestyle’s first-week sales of 60,000, digital downloads comprise 43,500; CD sales comprise 12,000 and vinyl sales comprise 4,500.

Yeat’s last album, 2093, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 earlier this year, was available in its first week across three digital download variants, but only one of them was exclusive to the artist’s webstore. 2093 sold 12,000 copies in its first week — all from downloads.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet climbs 4-2 on the Billboard 200 with 79,000 equivalent album units earned (down 7%). After debuting at No. 1, Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken falls to No. 3 with 68,000 (down 58%). Rod Wave’s Last Lap dips 2-4 in its second week with 67,000 units (down 47%).

SEVENTEEN collects its sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as SPILL THE FEELS debuts at No. 5 with 66,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 64,000 (it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,000 (equaling 2.61 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s sales were bolstered by its availability across 17 CD variants, each containing collectible branded paper ephemera (such as photocards, posters, lyric books and stickers, some randomized).

Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time rises 9-6 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), GloRilla’s Glorious falls 5-7 in its second week with nearly 50,000 (down 27%), and Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us surges 19-8 with 49,000 units (up 78%). The latter vaults up the chart, and back into the top 10 for the first time since its No. 2 debut in July, thanks to its Oct. 18 deluxe reissue on digital download and streaming services with seven additional tracks. Of the 49,000 units The Secret of Us earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise the bulk of the sum — a little over 45,000 (up 89%).

Rounding out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 are Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft (falling 7-9 with a little over 48,000 equivalent album units earned; down 4%) and BigXthaPlug’s Take Care (8-10 in its second week; with 48,000; up less than 1%).

The song becomes one of only six ever to lead for at least that long.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rounds up a 15th round at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song, which became the singer-songwriter’s first Hot 100 leader in July, extends 2024’s longest reign. It also ties Harry Styles’ 2022 smash “As It Was” for the second-longest reign this decade; Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” — like “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” a country-pop crossover hit — dominated for 16 weeks in 2023.

Over the Hot 100’s entire 66-year history, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” becomes one of just six hits to have led for at least 16 weeks.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest No. 1 run of 2024 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, adding a 19th week in the top spot.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Oct. 26, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Oct. 22). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, and Instagram.
