\n\tMorgan Wallen<\/a>\u2019s I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> notches a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> chart (dated June 7), after debuting in the pole position a week ago with the year\u2019s biggest week for an album. In its second week, I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a relatively scant 42% second-week decline in units earned, I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> 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\u2019s American Dream<\/em> on the March 3, 2024-dated chart. It fell 41% in its second week (from 133,000 to 78,000).<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Wallen has three albums in the top 10 at the same time for the first time ever, as I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> is joined by his former No. 1s One Thing at a Time<\/em> (No. 4) and Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em> (No. 10).<\/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 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\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s website on June 3. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf I\u2019m the Problem<\/em>\u2019s 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\u2019s songs \u2014 it leads Top Streaming Albums for a second week), album sales comprise 28,000 (down 79% \u2014 it\u2019s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a second week) and TEA units comprise 2,000 (down 39%).<\/p>\n

\n\tNos. 2-8 on the Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. SZA<\/a>\u2019s SOS<\/em> is a non-mover at No. 2 (47,000 equivalent album units earned; up 2%); Kendrick Lamar<\/a>\u2019s GNX<\/em> climbs 5-3 (42,000; up 1%); Wallen\u2019s One Thing at a Time<\/em> is steady at No. 4 (nearly 42,000; down 1%); Playboi Carti<\/a>\u2019s MUSIC<\/em> 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<\/a>\u2019s Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> steps 7-6 (36,000; down 3%); PARTYNEXTDOOR<\/a> and Drake<\/a>\u2019s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U<\/em> is up 8-7 (nearly 36,000; down 4%); and Bad Bunny<\/a>\u2019s Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> rises 9-8 (35,000; down 3%).<\/p>\n

\n\tBillie Eilish<\/a>\u2019s Hit Me Hard and Soft<\/em> is back in the top 10, moving 11-9, with 31,000 equivalent album units earned (though down 2%).<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen\u2019s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em> 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<\/em> joins I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> (No. 1) and One Thing at a Time<\/em> (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<\/em>, DAMN.<\/em> and good kid, m.A.A.d city<\/em>, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen 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 \u2014 she has held at least three albums concurrently in the top 10 of the chart 22 times.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore Lamar, the last male artist \u2014 or anyone aside from Swift \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
