\n\tThe 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 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid\/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

\n\tOf Don\u2019t Be Dumb\u2019s 123,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 76,000 (equaling 78.02 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks, A$AP Rocky\u2019s best streaming week ever \u2014 it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 47,000 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.<\/p>\n

\n\tDon\u2019t Be Dumb\u2019s release date of Jan. 16 was announced<\/a> on Dec. 19. The long-awaited set was issued as a widely-available standard 15-track vinyl LP, as well as a 15-track CD and cassette sold exclusively via the artist\u2019s webstore. The wide digital download and streaming editions carried two further tracks. In total, the album was issued across more than a dozen vinyl variants (adding up to 40,000 sold \u2014 his best week ever on vinyl). The set also got a boost from its availability in multiple deluxe boxed sets sold in his webstore, each containing a copy of the album on CD and a branded piece of clothing. Further, on Jan. 21, two more tracks were added to the digital and streaming version of the album.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album\u2019s debut was preceded by its song \u201cPUNK ROCKY,\u201d which entered the Billboard Hot 100 dated Jan. 24 at No. 64.<\/p>\n

\n\tENHYPEN lands its sixth top 10 album, all posted consecutively, on the Billboard 200 as THE SIN : VANISH materializes at No. 2. The act scored its first top 10 in 2022 with MANIFESTO: DAY 1 (No. 6) and has seen each of its five subsequent releases debut in the top five. The new album earned 122,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, with 113,000 of that sum in traditional album sales (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, marking the act\u2019s fourth leader). SEA units contributed 9,000 (equaling 9.51 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks, the act\u2019s best streaming week ever) and TEA units comprised a negligible sum.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album\u2019s first-week sales got a boost from its availability across more than 20 CD variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, posters and stickers, with some items randomized), including signed editions.<\/p>\n

\n\tBad Bunny\u2019s former leader DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS jumps 12-3 following the release of a new Amazon-exclusive red-colored vinyl variant on Jan. 16. Last September, Amazon teamed with the artist to livestream the final concert of his Puerto Rico residency on Sept. 20 via Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the week ending Jan. 22, DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS earned 119,000 equivalent album units (up 270%). Of that sum, pure album sales numbered 85,000 (up 4,909%), essentially all in vinyl purchases. That marks Bad Bunny\u2019s best week ever on vinyl, surpassing the 48,000 that he sold of the same album when it first became available on vinyl (May 17, 2025-dated chart). The 85,000-sales week for DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS on vinyl is the also the biggest sales week in the modern era for a Spanish-language album on vinyl (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991).<\/p>\n

\n\tMorgan Wallen\u2019s former No. 1 I\u2019m the Problem dips 2-4 on the latest Billboard 200 (75,000 equivalent album units, down 9%), while Zach Bryan\u2019s With Heaven On Top falls 1-5 in its second week (70,000, down 48%).<\/p>\n

\n\tYoungBoy Never Broke Again charts<\/a> his 17th top 10 effort on the Billboard 200, as Slime Cry debuts at No. 6. The set earned 70,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, with 69,000 of that sum generated by SEA units (equaling 72.6 million on-demand official streams of the album; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums).<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a 17th top 10, YoungBoy Never Broke Again ties Drake for the second-most top 10 albums ever among rappers. Only Future, with 18, has more top 10 albums among rap artists.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean\u2019s The Art of Loving falls 3-7 on the latest Billboard 200 (56,000 equivalent album units earned, down 13%), Swift\u2019s former leader The Life of a Showgirl slides 4-8 (53,000, down 15%) and the chart-topping KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack descends 5-9 (47,000, down 16%).<\/p>\n

\n\tClosing out the top 10 is Madison Beer\u2019s Locket, debuting at No. 10 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned. It\u2019s the first top 10 \u2014 and top 40 \u2014 for the singer-songwriter, who notched three previous entries, going as high as No. 65 with Life Support in 2021. The new album was preceded by Beer\u2019s first Hot 100 hit, \u201cBittersweet,\u201d which debuted at No. 98 on the chart dated Jan. 10. On the most recently published Pop Airplay chart (dated Jan. 31), the track rebounds to its No. 23 best.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the 43,000 first-week units for Locket (Beer\u2019s best-ever week by units), album sales comprise 24,000 (her biggest sales week yet; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 18,000 (equaling 18.89 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks \u2014 her best streaming week ever; it debuts at No. 33 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.<\/p>\n

\n\tLocket\u2019s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including a signed edition), three CD variants (including a signed version), a standard digital download edition and a cassette tape. Locket was also available in deluxe boxed set variations sold on Beer\u2019s webstore, which contained a copy of the CD and branded merchandise.<\/p>\n
