\n\tWILD is the fourth No. 1 album by an all-woman group this decade. It follows TWICE\u2019s With YOU-th (2025), NewJeans\u2019 2nd EP \u2018Get Up\u2019 (2023) and BLACKPINK\u2019s Born Pink (2022). Before Born Pink, the last No. 1 album by an all-woman group was Danity Kane\u2019s Welcome to the Dollhouse in 2008.<\/p>\n

\n\tWILD also lands KATSEYE its biggest week by equivalent album units earned, and by pure album sales (145,000). Further, WILD tallies the largest week by units for an all-woman group since the Billboard 200<\/a> began ranking by units in December 2015. WILD additionally has the largest pure album sales week for an all-woman group in more than three years, since TWICE\u2019s Ready To Be: 12th Mini Album debuted with 146,000 (March 25, 2023).<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Phoebe Bridgers<\/a> gets her first top 10 as Lost Weekend bows at No. 2 with both her biggest week ever by units and by pure album sales.<\/p>\n

\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. The new Aug. 29, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard\u2018s website on Aug. 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf WILD\u2019s 170,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 145,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 24,500 (equaling 26.95 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s songs; it debuts at No. 19 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise about 500.<\/p>\n

\n\tWILD\u2019s album sales were largely driven by its availability across more than 30 CD and vinyl variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, with some items randomized, including signed editions; some editions also contain bonus tracks).<\/p>\n

\n\tWILD was preceded by a pair of Billboard Hot 100-charting cuts: \u201cPinky Up\u201d (No. 28 peak in April) and \u201cAnimal\u201d (No. 24 on the Aug. 8 chart).<\/p>\n

\n\tPhoebe Bridgers collects her first top 10-charted set as Lost Weekend debuts at No. 2 with 118,000 equivalent album units earned \u2014 the singer-songwriter\u2019s best week ever by units. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 77,000 (her largest sales week; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 41,000 (equaling 41.6 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s songs, it debuts at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. First-week album sales were bolstered by the set\u2019s availability across 16 physical editions (CD, vinyl and cassette).<\/p>\n

\n\tLost Weekend is Bridgers\u2019 first solo studio album since 2020\u2019s\u00a0Punisher. In the years since, she formed the supergroup Boygenius with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. The trio released\u00a0The Record\u00a0in 2023, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Nos. 3-9 titles on the latest Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Stray Kids<\/a>\u2019 THIS & THAT falls 1-3 in its second week, earning 82,000 equivalent album units (down 78%). Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u2019s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love dips 3-4 (70,000, down 3%); Ella Langley<\/a>\u2019s Dandelion descends 4-5 (nearly 70,000, down 1%); Morgan Wallen<\/a>\u2019s I\u2019m the Problem shifts down 5-6 (67,000, down 5%); Noah Kahan<\/a>\u2019s The Great Divide falls 6-7 (56,000, up less than 1%); Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s Petal slides 2-8 (51,000, down 38%); and Drake<\/a>\u2019s ICEMAN is a non-mover at No. 9 (43,000, down 5%).<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Olivia Dean\u2019s The Art of Loving returns to the top 10, up one slot to No. 10 with 41,000 units (up 11%).<\/p>\n
