TOMORROW X TOGETHER lands its seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart as The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY opens atop the tally with 95,500 copies sold in the United States in the week ending Nov. 14, according to Luminate. The pop group notched its first No. 1 on the chart in 2020 and has logged at least one new No. 1 in every year since. The only other act to do that is Taylor Swift.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, ILLIT’s I’ll Like You bows at No. 6 while Kep1er’s Tipi-Tap jumps 35-7 in its second week.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. All charts dated Nov. 14 will be posted to Billboard’s website on Nov. 19.
The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY’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).
Tyler, The Creator’s chart-topping CHROMAKOPIA is a non-mover at No. 2 with 28,000 sold (down 37%). Chappell Roan’s former leader The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess rises 4-3 with 12,000 (up 9%). Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 6-4 with nearly 12,000 (up 18%) and The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World falls 1-5 in its second week with nearly 12,000 (down 78%).
ILLIT lands its second top 10-charting effort on Top Album Sales and its best sales week yet, as I’ll Like You bows at No. 6 with 10,500 copies sold. Its opening-week sales were aided by its availability across 14 CD variants (all containing collectible branded paper ephemera, some randomized). Kep1er’s first charting title, Tipi-Tap, soars 35-7 in its second week on the list with 9,000 sold (up 218%; the act’s best sales week). Its first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across eight CD variants (containing collectible paper ephemera, some randomized).
Rounding out the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart is Charli XCX’s Brat (16-8 with 9,000 sold; up 82% a white-colored vinyl edition of the album became widely available), SEVENTEEN’s chart-topping SPILL THE FEELS (5-9 with nearly 9,000; down 16%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft (13-10 with 7,000; up 23%).
