\n\tMorgan Wallen<\/a>\u2019s I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> chart (dated Aug. 9), racking up a ninth nonconsecutive week atop the tally. The set rises 2-1 and earned 143,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 31 (up 1%) according to Luminate. I\u2019m the Problem<\/em> debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart and spent it first eight weeks in the pole position.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, TOMORROW X TOGETHER<\/a> collects its seventh top 10-charted effort with the No. 3 debut of The Star Chapter: TOGETHER<\/em>; YoungBoy Never Broke Again<\/a> lands his sweet 16th top 10 with the No. 6 bow of MASA<\/em>; and Tyler Childers<\/a> achieves his highest-charted album (and third top 10) with the No. 7 launch of Snipe Hunter<\/em>.<\/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 Aug. 9, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s website on Aug. 5. 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 143,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 31, SEA units comprise 137,000 (up 2%, equaling 180.43 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s songs \u2014 it leads Top Streaming Albums for a 10th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 5,000 (down 23% \u2014 it falls 15-16 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 30%).<\/p>\n

\n\tCumulatively, Wallen\u2019s three No. 1 albums (I\u2019m the Problem<\/em>, One Thing at a Time<\/em> and Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em>) have spent a total of 38 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That sum solely gives Wallen the fifth-most weeks at No. 1 among male artists<\/a> in the chart\u2019s history, which dates to March 1956, when the chart began publishing on a regular weekly basis. He was previously tied with Harry Belafonte and Drake with 37 weeks each. Among male artists, the leaders are: Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), Elton John (39), Wallen (38), Belafonte and \u00a0Drake (37 each). Among all artists, The Beatles have the most weeks at No. 1, with 132 across 19 No. 1 albums.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> soundtrack returns to its peak on the Billboard 200, as it climbs 3-2 with 93,000 equivalent album units earned (up 4%) \u2014 its best week yet by units earned.<\/p>\n

\n\tTOMORROW X TOGETHER collects its seventh top 10-charted effort as The Star Chapter: TOGETHER<\/em> debuts at No. 3. The set earned 65,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 62,000 of that sum (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.23 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album\u2019s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 24 CD variants (all with collectible ephemera, some randomized, inside its packaging).<\/p>\n

\n\tTyler, The Creator<\/a>\u2019s DON\u2019T TAP THE GLASS<\/em> falls 1-4 in its second week on the Billboard 200, with 59,000 equivalent album units earned (down 70%). Justin Bieber<\/a>\u2019s SWAG<\/em> rises 6-5 (52,000, down 28%).<\/p>\n

\n\tYoungBoy Never Broke Again achieves his 16th top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200, as MASA<\/em> enters at No. 6. The set earned 49,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with SEA units comprising 48,000 of that sum (equaling 69.15 million on-demand official streams of its songs \u2014 it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums). Album sales comprise a little under 1,000 (it was only available to purchase as a standard widely available digital download) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a 16th top 10, YoungBoy Never Broke Again ties Jay-Z and Nas for the third-most top 10 albums among hip-hop artists. Only Future (with 18) and Drake (17) have more among hip-hop acts. (Among all artists, of all genres, The Rolling Stones have the most<\/a> top 10s, with 38.)<\/p>\n

\n\tTyler Childers scores his highest-charting album, and third top 10, on the Billboard 200 with the No. 7 launch of Snipe Hunter<\/em>. The set earned 48,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 27,000 of that sum (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 20,500 (equaling 26.14 million on-demand official streams of its songs \u2014 it debuts at No. 20 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise about 500.<\/p>\n

\n\tSnipe Hunter<\/em>\u2019s first-week sales were aided by its availability across seven vinyl variants, along with a widely available standard CD and digital download.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album was preceded by the radio-promoted single \u201cNose on the Grindstone,\u201d which climbs to No. 18 \u2014 a new peak \u2014 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Alex Warren\u2019s You\u2019ll Be Alright, Kid <\/em>(falling 5-8 with 47,000 equivalent album units, down 35%); JACKBOYS and Travis Scott\u2019s former No. 1 JACKBOYS 2<\/em> (4-9 with 46,000, down 41%); and Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s The Essential Ozzy Osbourne<\/em> (7-10 with nearly 46,000, up 5%).<\/p>\n
