The singer-songwriter scores his first leader on the chart.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” ascends to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list. It rises from No. 4, after reaching a previous No. 2 best.

Warren becomes the first male soloist to earn an initial Hot 100 No. 1 this year.

“Ordinary,” the 1,181st No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 66-year history, rose to the top of both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts in May. On the Hot 100, Warren charted one prior entry, “Burning Down” (No. 69 peak, last October). Concurrent with the coronation of “Ordinary,” he adds his second top 40 Hot 100 hit, as “Bloodline,” with Jelly Roll, debuts at No. 32.

Before concentrating on music full-time, Warren grew a following in Hype House, a group of TikTok content creators that frequently collaborated. He signed to Atlantic Records in 2022.

“In my career, I have been so open with my friends who follow me,” Warren, who co-authored “Ordinary,” told Billboard earlier this year. “They know everything about me and we’re so connected, and I love that. I’m thinking of these people while I’m writing these songs, because I’m thinking about what I would want to hear if I was still going through that.”

It tallies the smallest second-week percentage decline for a No. 1-debuting album in more than a year.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem notches a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated June 7), after debuting in the pole position a week ago with the year’s biggest week for an album. In its second week, I’m the Problem earned 286,000 equivalent album units (in the tracking week ending May 29) in the United States according to Luminate. A week ago, the set arrived at No. 1 with 493,000 units.

With a relatively scant 42% second-week decline in units earned, I’m the Problem tallies the smallest second-week percentage drop for a No. 1-debuting album in more than a year. The last No. 1-debuting set to see a smaller sophomore frame fall, by percentage decline, was 21 Savage’s American Dream on the March 3, 2024-dated chart. It fell 41% in its second week (from 133,000 to 78,000).

Plus, Wallen has three albums in the top 10 at the same time for the first time ever, as I’m the Problem is joined by his former No. 1s One Thing at a Time (No. 4) and Dangerous: The Double Album (No. 10).

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 June 7, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 3. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of I’m the Problem’s 286,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 29, SEA units comprise 256,000 (down 28%, equaling 332.89 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a second week), album sales comprise 28,000 (down 79% — it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a second week) and TEA units comprise 2,000 (down 39%).

Nos. 2-8 on the Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. SZA’s SOS is a non-mover at No. 2 (47,000 equivalent album units earned; up 2%); Kendrick Lamar’s GNX climbs 5-3 (42,000; up 1%); Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is steady at No. 4 (nearly 42,000; down 1%); Playboi Carti’s MUSIC motors 18-5 (41,000; up 57% after a range of deluxe boxed set editions, sold through his webstore, were fulfilled to customers); Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 7-6 (36,000; down 3%); PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U is up 8-7 (nearly 36,000; down 4%); and Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos rises 9-8 (35,000; down 3%).

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft is back in the top 10, moving 11-9, with 31,000 equivalent album units earned (though down 2%).

Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album rises 12-10 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned (down less than 1%). Wallen has three albums in the top 10 concurrently for the first time ever, as Dangerous joins I’m the Problem (No. 1) and One Thing at a Time (No. 4). Wallen is the second act to log at least three albums in the top 10 at the same time in 2025, following Lamar after his Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance on Feb. 9. On the Feb. 22-dated chart, Lamar was at Nos. 1, 9 and 10 with GNX, DAMN. and good kid, m.A.A.d city, respectively.

Wallen and Lamar are the only living male artists to have had at least three albums in the top 10 at the same time since Herb Alpert on the Dec. 24, 1966-dated chart (when he, along with the Tijuana Brass, had three titles in the top 10). The most recent act, overall, with at least three albums in the top 10 was Taylor Swift on the March 2, 2024, chart, when she had three in the region — she has held at least three albums concurrently in the top 10 of the chart 22 times.

Before Lamar, the last male artist — or anyone aside from Swift — to have at least three albums in the top 10 at the same time was Prince, following his death, in 2016. That year, on the May 14 chart, he logged five titles in the region; and on the May 7 chart, he had three in the top 10. Prince died on April 21, 2016.

Wallen earns his fourth Hot 100 No. 1, and McRae her first.

Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The collaboration between the country and pop stars – from Wallen’s new album, I’m the Problem, which soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 2025’s biggest week by equivalent album units – is Wallen’s fourth Hot 100 leader and McRae’s first. She surpasses her prior No. 3 best set by “Greedy” in January 2024. In March, McRae notched her first Billboard 200 No. 1 with So Close to What; she’s the first artist this year to lead both lists for the first time.

Wallen previously topped the Hot 100 with “Love Somebody,” also on I’m the Problem, for a week upon its debut in November; as featured on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” which bowed at No. 1 in May 2024 and led for six weeks; and with “Last Night,” for 16 weeks beginning in March 2023, before wrapping as the chart’s top hit that year.

Wallen boasts six songs in all in the latest Hot 100’s top 10, with “I Got Better” also debuting, at No. 7, and “Superman” flying 16-8 in its second week on the chart. He has now charted nine top 10s from I’m the Problem; only Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and Midnights (10 top 10s each) have yielded more, with Drake’s Certified Lover Boy also having generated nine.

Meanwhile, Wallen claims the top three spots on the Hot 100, with “What I Want” followed by “Just in Case” at No. 2 and “I’m the Problem” at No. 3 – as he becomes the first artist that primarily records country music to have monopolized the top three in a single week over the chart’s 66-year history.

It’s the country star’s third No. 1. Plus: Jin’s “Echo” arrives in the top five.

Morgan Wallen’s latest studio effort, I’m the Problem, debuts atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated May 31) with the year’s biggest week for any album — 493,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 22, according to Luminate. It also easily lands the largest streaming week for any album in 2025.

It’s the third No. 1 for Wallen on the Billboard 200, following 2023’s One Thing at a Time (19 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1) and 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album (10 weeks at No. 1, all consecutive). The latter two titles both debuted at No. 1 and have never left the weekly top 50 of the chart. On the latest chart, One Thing at a Time is a non-mover at No. 4 (making Wallen the only act with two concurrent albums in the weekly top five in 2025), while Dangerous shifts 11-12.

I’m the Problem was officially announced in mid-March, and was preceded by eight charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100 over the past 10 months, all of which reached the top 20 of the ranking, including six top 10s (the most top 10s ever from an album prior to its release). Among them were the No. 1 “Love Somebody,” which debuted atop the list last November, and the album’s title track (No. 2 in February).

Also in the latest Billboard 200 top 10, Jin notches his highest-charting effort as Echo launches at No. 3. The BTS member previously hit the top 10 as a soloist with Happy (No. 4) in 2024.

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 May 31, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 28, one day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. on May 26. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of I’m the Problem’s 493,000 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 357,000 (equaling 462.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 37 tracks; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 133,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 3,000.

I’m the Problem is the fifth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2025, of 14 total, to also simultaneously be No. 1 on both Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums, following Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia (May 24), Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM (March 22), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (Feb. 22) and The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (Feb. 15).

I’m the Problem captures 2025’s biggest week by equivalent album units earned. The last bigger week was the opening frame of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department over a year ago. It bowed at No. 1 with 2.61 million units on the May 4, 2024-dated chart.

With 357,000 SEA units equaling 462.63 million on-demand official streams of I’m the Problem’s 37 tracks, the set logs the largest streaming week of 2025 for any album, and the biggest since The Tortured Poets Department’s first week, which snared 891.37 million. I’m the Problem also tallies the second-biggest streaming week ever for any country album, trailing only the opening week of Wallen’s last album, One Thing at a Time, which bowed with 498.28 million clicks.

Meanwhile, with 133,000 copies sold in its first week, I’m the Problem captures Wallen’s biggest sales week ever, the biggest sales week for any country album in 2025 and the fourth-largest sales frame in 2025 among all albums. The last country set to post a bigger sales week was Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, when it debuted with 168,000 sold (April 13, 2024-dated chart). I’m the Problem’s sales were helped by its availability on vinyl in its first week. Wallen’s last album, One Thing at a Time, didn’t get its vinyl release until its fourth week on sale.

Wallen’s last album, One Thing at a Time, didn’t get its vinyl release until its fourth week on sale.

During its first week, I’m the Problem was available to purchase across five vinyl variants (standard black vinyl, a “first pressing” black vinyl, bone white-colored, coke bottle clear-colored [all exclusively sold in Wallen’s webstore] and a Target-exclusive opaque brown-color edition with a collectible insert), four CD variants (standard, a deluxe boxed set containing a branded T-shirt, a signed CD and a Target-exclusive edition with a collectible insert) and a standard digital download. All variations of the album had the same 37 tracks. All told, of I’m the Problem’s first-week sales, digital downloads comprise 51,000, vinyl comprise 48,000 (Wallen’s best week on vinyl ever, and the largest week for a country album in 2025) and CDs comprise 34,000.

SZA’s chart-topping SOS rises one spot to No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200, earning 47,000 equivalent album units — down 8%.

Jin nabs his highest-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as Echo arrives at No. 3. It’s the second charting solo set for the BTS member, who previously hit the chart with the No. 4-peaking Happy in November 2024.

Echo debuts with 43,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 35,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 6,000 (equaling 8.92 million of the album’s tracks) and TEA units comprise 2,000. Echo’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 13 CD variants (all have the standard seven-song tracklist and contain collectible branded paper ephemera) and five download album variants (a standard wide version, a version exclusive to Jin’s webstore containing a bonus voice memo track and three widely available deluxe editions each containing two different remixes of the album’s “Don’t Say You Love Me”).

Nos. 4-9 on the new Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is steady at No. 4 (42,000 equivalent album units; down 13%); Kendrick Lamar’s GNX rises 7-5 (41,000; down 5%); Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia falls 1-6 in its second week (38,000; down 70%); Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 8-7 (just over 37,000; down 6%); PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U drops 5-8 (37,000; down 21%); and Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbs 10-9 (nearly 37,000; down 3%).

Fuerza Regida’s 111XPANTIA closes out the top 10, falling 6-10 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned (down 26%).

Plus: Kali Uchis’ Sincerely, debuts at No. 2.

Sleep Token scores its first No. 1 album, and first top 10, on the Billboard 200 with the chart-topping arrival of its fourth full-length studio release, Even in Arcadia.

The set, which is the English rock band’s major-label debut, bows atop the list dated May 24 with 127,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 15, according to Luminate — marking the act’s best week by units ever. It’s also the biggest week by units for any rock album in nearly a year, and the biggest for any hard rock album in two years. Further, the set’s streaming numbers are so big that it scores the largest streaming week ever for a hard rock album.

Sleep Token released its first single in 2016 and made its overall Billboard chart debut in 2019. The band previously scored one entry on the Billboard 200 with Take Me Back to Eden in 2023, debuting and peaking at No. 16. That set has earned 819,000 units in the U.S. to date, and its dozen songs (six of which were top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart) have generated 935 million on-demand official streams in the U.S. The band was among Billboard’s year-end top 10 on Top Hard Rock Artists in both 2024 (No. 8) and 2023 (No. 5).

In early 2024, the act signed to RCA Records after previously releasing music on the indie label Spinefarm. The masked band — whose members have remained anonymous through the group’s career — made its debut on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in March with the new album’s “Emergence.” Two more pre-release songs from the set debut on the tally: “Caramel” (a career-best No. 34 high for the band) and “Damocles.”

Sleep Token’s No. 1 debut coincidentally comes just two weeks after another masked hard rock band from Europe, the Swedish act Ghost, landed its first leader with the chart-topping debut of Skeletá (May 10 chart).

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Kali Uchis achieves her third top 10-charting set with the debut of Sincerely, at No. 2.

Of Even in Arcadia’s 127,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 73,500 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 53,000 (equaling 68.89 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 500. Sales of the album were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants, a standard CD, two deluxe CD boxed sets (containing a CD and a branded hoodie) and a standard digital download album. All configurations contained the same 10 songs.

Even in Arcadia is just the fourth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2025, of 13 total, to also simultaneously be No. 1 on both Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums, following Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM (March 22), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (Feb. 22) and The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (Feb. 15).

Prior to Even in Arcadia, the last rock album to have a larger week, by equivalent album units earned, was Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene, in its first full week of release, with 137,000 units (July 20, 2024-dated chart). The last hard rock album to score a larger week was Metallica’s 72 Seasons, which debuted with 146,000 units on the April 29, 2023 chart.

In terms of streaming numbers, Even in Arcadia posts an eye-popping — and historic — sum for a hard rock set. Its SEA figure of 53,000 equates to 68.89 million on-demand official streams of its 10 songs. That’s the biggest weekly streaming sum for any hard rock album ever. The last rock album overall with a bigger streaming week was The Great American Bar Scene, when it tallied 77.76 million during its fifth week on the chart, dated Aug. 10, 2024.

Even in Arcadia sold 73,500 copies — with vinyl comprising 47,000 of that figure. That’s the largest vinyl sales week for the band, and the biggest for a hard rock album on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991). (It trumps the previous record, set only two weeks ago by the debut of Ghost’s Skeletá with 44,000.) It’s also the second-largest sales week in the modern era for a rock album, following the opening week of blink-182’s One More Time… (49,000; Nov. 4, 2023).

With Even in Arcadia debuting at No. 1 just two weeks after another hard rock album was tops — when Skeletá debuted at No. 1 on the May 10 chart — there have been two No. 1 hard rock albums in less than a month. That hasn’t happened in more than a decade. The chart last had two hard rock No. 1s in less than a month’s time nearly a dozen years ago, when Queens of the Stone Age’s …Like Clockwork and Black Sabbath’s 13 debuted at No. 1 in successive weeks (June 22-29, 2013).

Rock and hard rock albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts, respectively.

Finally, Sleep Token is the fifth act in 2025 to score a first No. 1 this year, following Ghost (with Skeletá), Ken Carson (More Chaos), Tate McRae (So Close To What) and PARTYNEXTDOOR (with the Drake collaboration set $ome $exy $ongs 4 U). In all of 2024, there were five acts that got their first No. 1s: Ty Dolla $ign (with the Ye collab Vultures 1), TWICE (With YOU-th), Sabrina Carpenter (Short n’ Sweet), Jelly Roll (Beautifully Broken) and Yeat (Lyfestyle).

Going back another year, there were also five acts in 2023 that got their first No. 1s that year: TOMORROW X TOGETHER (The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION), Karol G (MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO), NewJeans (2nd EP ‘Get Up’), Zach Bryan (Zach Bryan) and ATEEZ (THE WORLD EP.FIN: WILL).

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Kali Uchis’ Sincerely, debuts with 62,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the artist’s third top 10-charting effort, following Orquídeas (No. 2 in 2024) and Red Moon in Venus (No. 4 in 2023). Of the 62,000 units earned, album sales comprise 38,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 24,000 (equaling 32.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 18 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The first-week sales of Sincerely, was aided by its availability across 10 vinyl variants (including signed editions), three CD variants (including a signed edition), a cassette and a standard digital download album (all containing the same tracklist), as well as a deluxe download with two bonus tracks.

A trio of former No. 1s is next on the Billboard 200, as SZA’s SOS is steady at No. 3 (51,000 equivalent album units; down 3%), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is a non-mover at No. 4 (48,000; up 6%), and PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U climbs 7-5 (47,000; up 17% following its vinyl release). Fuerza Regida’s 111XPANTIA falls 2-6 in its second week (just over 43,000; down 43%), while Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX dips 5-7 (43,000; down 4%), and Sabrina Carpenter’s former leader Short n’ Sweet falls 6-8 (40,000; down 2%).

The Weeknd’s former No. 1 Hurry Up Tomorrow vaults 27-9 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (up 82%), largely owed to sales generated by the release of new CD and vinyl editions of the album. Rounding out the top 10 of the Billboard 200 is Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which falls 1-10 with 38,000 units (down 55%), a week after it hopped back to the top following its release on vinyl.

The song solely claims the most weeks at No. 1 ever among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” rules the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a 12th total and consecutive week.

Dating to the Hot 100’s Aug. 4, 1958, start, “Luther” now solely boasts the most weeks spent at No. 1 among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women. It breaks out of a tie with Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You” (featuring vocal group 112), which led for 11 weeks in 1997.

“Luther” is also now solely the longest-leading R&B/hip-hop No. 1 on the Hot 100 this decade, surpassing the 11 weeks on top for Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” in 2020. (R&B/hip-hop songs are defined as those that have hit or are eligible for Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.)

“Luther,” whose title is a tribute late R&B luminary Luther Vandross (who is sampled on the song), became Lamar’s sixth Hot 100 No. 1 and SZA’s third. Lamar and SZA each extend their longest career commands on the chart with the song.

Plus, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” spends a record-breaking 44th week in the Hot 100’s top five and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” adds a 90th week in the chart overall, moving to within a week of potentially tying for the longest run all-time.

Plus: Fuerza Regida and Key Glock’s latest albums debut in the top 10.

Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, jumping 7-1 on the May 17-dated chart, following the set’s release on vinyl. It’s the fourth total week atop the list for the Spanish-language project, which spent three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Jan. 25-Feb. 8-dated charts. In the tracking week ending May 8, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 84,500 equivalent album units (up 123%) in the United States, with more than half of the sum driven by vinyl purchases, according to Luminate.

It’s a historic week for Latin music, as Fuerza Regida — Billboard’s year-end top duo/group in both 2024 and 2023 — achieves its first top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 with the band’s 111XPANTIA bowing at No. 2. In turn, for the first time in the 69-year history of the all-genre chart, Spanish-language albums are Nos. 1 and 2 at the same time. Further, 111XPANTIA marks the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group, and the highest-charting regional Mexican music album.

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 May 17, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 13. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 84,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 8, album sales — essentially all vinyl — comprise a little over 48,000 (up 15,099%, it reenters Top Album Sales for its first week at No. 1), SEA units comprise just over 36,000 (down 3%, equaling 50.27 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it falls 5-6 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise under 500 units (down 8%).

The album’s 48,000 sold marks the largest single-week sales for a Latin music album in nearly six years, since Santana’s Africa Speaks sold 57,000 copies in its first week (June 22, 2019-dated chart), driven by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer for the act’s then-upcoming tour. Such offers are no longer chart-eligible.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos surges back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after its vinyl shipments to customers impacted the tracking week — to the tune of nearly 48,000 copies. That’s the largest sales week for a Latin album on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991). It surpasses the previous record, held by the opening week of Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas (20,000 sold across seven variants; on the Jan. 27, 2024-dated chart).

Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ lone vinyl edition — on blue-colored double-vinyl in a gatefold package — was sold exclusively via Bad Bunny’s official webstore for $29.98. It went up for pre-order in early February and was then (per the store) “estimated to ship on/around the end of April 2025.” The vinyl is currently sold out on the artist’s webstore, and it has not been announced if the vinyl will be restocked, or sold through any other seller. (The blue-colored vinyl is the only physical format on which the set has been released. It has yet to be issued on CD or any other physical format, and has only been available to purchase as a download.)

Since Debí Tirar Más Fotos debuted on the Jan. 18-dated Billboard 200 (at No. 2), it has yet to leave the top 10 after 18 weeks, with its chart fortunes largely fueled by continued strong streaming of its songs.

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Fuerza Regida debuts with its highest-charting album ever, and first top 10, as 111XPANTIA arrives with 76,000 equivalent album units earned — the band’s best week ever by units.

The set also becomes the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group (surpassing the No. 4 peak of Maná’s Amar Es Combatir in 2006), and for a regional Mexican music album (higher than the No. 3 peak of Peso Pluma’s Génesis in 2023).

111XPANTIA also earns the largest week, by units, for any Spanish-language album by a duo or group, and by a regional Mexican album, since the chart began ranking by units in December 2014. The previous high, in that span of time, for a Spanish language album by a duo or group was Santana’s Africa Speaks (57,000 in its opening week, in 2019), while the previous high for a regional Mexican title was Génesis (73,000 in its debut frame in 2023).

Of the 76,000 units earned by 111XPANTIA in its opening week, album sales comprise 39,000 (the band’s best sales week ever, and the biggest sales week for a regional Mexican album in the modern era; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 37,000 (equaling 50.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

With 39,000 copies sold, 111XPANTIA surpasses the previous largest sales week for a regional Mexican title, when Selena’s Amor Prohibido sold 36,000 copies on the chart dated May 6, 1995, in the wake of her death in March of that year.

111XPANTIA was released on May 2 as a 12-song standard album, widely available as a digital download for purchase and via streaming services. On May 5, a deluxe edition of the set, with three bonus tracks, was issued via download services and streamers. The band’s official webstore carried the only physical format editions of the album: the 12-song version on four color vinyl variants, a standard CD, a signed CD (by the group’s lead singer, Jesús Ortíz Paz) and four deluxe boxed sets (two containing a branded T-shirt and a signed CD, two with a branded hat and a signed CD).

The new album was preceded by its hit single “Por Esos Ojos,” which reached No. 5 on Hot Latin Songs (March 1 chart), No. 3 on Hot Regional Mexican Songs (May 10), No. 5 on Latin Streaming Songs (March 1) and No. 79 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (March 15).

111XPANTIA is the sixth charting effort on the Billboard 200 for Fuerza Regida, and the third to reach the top 40 (after PERO NO TE ENAMORES, No. 25 in 2024; and Pa las Baby’s y Belikeada, No. 14 in 2023). The group’s success has also extended to the Hot 100, where the act charted 13 song entries before the new album dropped.

Prior to the new album’s release, the group also logged eight top 10s (with one No. 1) on the Top Latin Albums chart, and 10 top 10s (with five No. 1s) on the Regional Mexican Albums chart.

Fuerza Regida’s success on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 over the past few years has been so significant that the act finished 2024 as the top duo/group artist of the year — among all genres — for the second year in a row. In 2023, the act made history when it became the year’s top duo/group — the first time an act that primarily records in Spanish had ever achieved the feat.

(Latin and regional Mexican albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and Top Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively.)

Nos. 2-7 on the latest Billboard 200 are all former chart-toppers. SZA’s SOS slips 2-3 (52,000 equivalent album units, though up 1%), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is steady at No. 4 (46,000; down less than 1%), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX dips 3-5 (45,000; down 7%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet falls 5-6 (41,000; down 6%) and PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U descends 6-7 (40,000; down 7%).

Key Glock lands his fourth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 at Glockaveli debuts at No. 8 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 28,000 (equaling 37.28 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 12 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 6,000 (it enters at No. 9 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Glockaveli was released on May 2 as a standard 18-song album, widely available as a digital download to purchase and via streaming services. The standard set was also available on CD (both signed and unsigned), vinyl (standard, color vinyl and signed color vinyl) and a deluxe boxed set containing a branded T-shirt and a CD. A deluxe edition of the album, with three bonus tracks, dropped mid-week — first via the artist’s webstore on May 4, and then wide the following day to general download services and streamers.

Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Morgan Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album (rising 10-9 with 33,500 equivalent album units; up 1%) and Shaboozey’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going (falling 8-10 with 32,000; down 8%).

Plus, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” rises to No. 2 and Doechii’s “Anxiety” returns to the top 10.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” tops the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for an 11th total and consecutive week.

Dating to the Hot 100’s Aug. 4, 1958, start “Luther” matches Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You” (featuring vocal group 112), in 1997, for the most weeks spent at No. 1 among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women.

“Luther,” whose title honors late R&B great Luther Vandross (who is also sampled on the song), became Lamar’s sixth Hot 100 No. 1 and SZA’s third. Lamar and SZA each extend their longest career commands on the chart with the song.

Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” rises a spot to a new high (3-2) and Doechii’s “Anxiety” returns to the region at its No. 10 best.

It’s the first hard rock album to be No. 1 in more than four years.

Skeletá marks the ninth charted effort for the group on the Billboard 200. The band first visited the list in 2013 with its second album, Infestissumam, which also marked the act’s first top 40-charting set, reaching No. 28. Skeletá scores Ghost its eighth top 40 set, and fifth to reach the top 10. The band had previously gone as high as No. 2 with its last full-length studio album, 2022’s Impera.

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 May 10, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 6. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Skeletá’s 86,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 77,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 9,000 (equaling 12.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across more than 15 vinyl variants, three CD variants and four cassette variants (all containing the same tracklist, but in collectible packaging).

With Skeletá scoring 9,000 in SEA units (12.45 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs), the group logs its biggest streaming week ever for an album. It surpasses the opening-week of Impera (7,000 SEA; 9.11 million streams for its songs).

The new album was led by the radio-promoted single “Satanized,” which became the act’s 10th top 10-charting hit on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in April. It’s one of a trio of hits that the album yielded on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart prior to the album’s release. “Satanized” hit No. 3 (March 22 chart), followed by “Lachryma” (No. 3, April 26) and “Peacefield” (No. 13, May 3). (Skeletá is also the first full-length project from the band since the act garnered its first hit on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, when its viral hit “Mary on a Cross” reached No. 90 on the tally in 2022.)

With the No. 1 arrival on the Billboard 200, Skeletá lands a number of milestone achievements for Ghost. Here’s a recap:

Skeletá yields Ghost’s best week ever by both equivalent album units and traditional album sales. The act’s previous high in both metrics came in the debut week of Impera (March 26, 2022), which earned 70,000 units (of which nearly 63,000 were album sales). As noted earlier, Skeletá also garners the largest streaming week for a Ghost album.

Ghost lands the biggest week of 2025, by either equivalent album units or traditional album sales, for any rock, hard rock or alternative album.

Of Skeletá’s first-week album sales, vinyl purchases comprised just over 44,000 copies. That’s not just the largest sales week on vinyl for Ghost, but the biggest week for a hard rock album on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began tracking data in 1991). It’s also the third-largest sales week on vinyl in the modern era for any rock album, trailing only the opening weeks of blink-182’s One More Time… (49,000; 2023) and boygenius’ The Record (45,000; 2023).

Skeletá is the first hard rock album to lead the Billboard 200 in over four years, and the only rock, hard rock or alternative album to be No. 1 in 2025. The last hard rock album at No. 1 was AC/DC’s Power Up, which premiered at No. 1 on the Nov. 28, 2020, chart and spent one week at No. 1. The last rock, or alternative, album to lead the tally was Coldplay’s Moon Music, when it debuted at No. 1 on the Oct. 19, 2024, chart (spending one week at No. 1).

Rock, alternative and hard rock albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts, respectively.

Not only is Skeletá the group’s first No. 1, but it’s the first chart-topper for its label Loma Vista Recordings and the first leader for Concord Label Group in nearly a decade — since James Taylor’s Before This World (on Concord Records) debuted at No. 1 on the July 4, 2015-dated chart. Loma Vista had previously gone as high as No. 2 with Ghost’s last full-length studio album, Impera, in 2022.

Skeletá is the lone debut in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart. The titles at Nos. 2-7 are all former No. 1s. SZA’s SOS slips to No. 2 (52,000 equivalent album units earned; down 1%), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX falls 2-3 (48,000; down 5%), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is down 3-4 (46,000; down 4%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet descends 4-5 (44,000; down 8%), PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U falls 5-6 (43,000; down 6%) and Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos is down 6-7 (38,000; down 3%).

Shaboozey’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going gallops 45-8 with 35,000 equivalent album units earned (up 110%) after a deluxe reissue on April 25 that added six additional songs, bringing its total song count to 18. The set debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the June 15, 2024-dated list. (He also played the Stagecoach Festival on April 26.)

Playboi Carti’s chart-topping MUSIC (7-9; 34,000 equivalent album units, down 11%) and Morgan Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album (9-10; 33,000, down 3%) round out the Billboard 200’s top 10.

Plus, Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s “I Ain’t Coming Back” debuts at No. 8.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” tops the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a milestone 10th total and consecutive week. The single, whose title honors late R&B great Luther Vandross, who is sampled on it, became Lamar’s sixth No. 1 and SZA’s third. Lamar and SZA each extend their longest career Hot 100 reigns with the song.

An elite 4% of all Hot 100 No. 1s (46 of 1,179, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, start) have ruled for double-digit weeks. Of those, “Luther” is the first by a solo man and woman and no accompanying acts – surpassing the nine-week reign of Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s “Endless Love” in 1981. (Among other 10-plus-week No. 1s by co-billed lead male and female acts, Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You” — featuring vocal group 112 — led for 11 weeks in 1997 and Mariah Carey and then-quartet Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” dominated for 16 weeks in 1995-96.)

Plus, Alex Warren’s first Hot 100 top 10, “Ordinary,” hits a new high (5-3), and reaches No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, and Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s “I Ain’t Coming Back” debuts at No. 8 on the Hot 100, becoming their 15th and 14th top 10, respectively. It’s the sixth top 10 from Wallen’s album I’m the Problem — all ahead of its May 16 release, as he extends his record for the most top 10s from an album prior to its arrival.
