\n\tBITE ME<\/em>\u2019s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 11 vinyl variants (including signed editions) and five CD variants (including signed editions). Vinyl purchases accounted for 63% of the album\u2019s first-week sales (30,000 of 47,000) and the set launches at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tBITE ME<\/em> also starts<\/a> at No. 3 on the overall Billboard 200, marking Rapp\u2019s first top 10 on that list.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the new top 10 of Top Album Sales, $uicidBoy$ land their highest charting album yet with the No. 2 bow of THY KINGDOM COME<\/em>, Yeat nabs his third top 10-charted project with DANGEROUS SUMMER<\/em>\u2019s start at No. 3, and the live album from Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton, Live at the Legion<\/em>, debuts at No. 7.<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Album Sales<\/a> chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart\u2019s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard<\/em> 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<\/a> 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 (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. The new Aug. 16, 2025-dated Top Album Sales chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s website on Aug. 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack on the Top Album Sales ranking, $uicideBoy$ scores their highest-charting set ever as THY KINGDOM COME<\/em> debuts at No. 2 with 23,000 copies sold. Vinyl purchases fueled the set\u2019s first-week, with 83% of its sales owed to vinyl (19,000 of 23,000), garnering the hip-hop act its best week ever on vinyl. The project debuts at No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums chart, boosted by its availability across six vinyl variants.<\/p>\n

\n\tYeat clocks his third top 10-charted effort on Top Album Sales as DANGEROUS SUMMER<\/em> starts at No. 3 with 16,000 sold (aided by its availability across three CD variants, all signed, exclusive to his webstore).<\/p>\n

\n\tTOMORROW X TOGETHER\u2019s chart-topping The Star Chapter: TOGETHER<\/em> falls to No. 4 (15,000 sold, down 76%) after premiering at No. 1 a week ago. Clipse\u2019s Let God Sort Em Out<\/em> rises 8-5 (11,000, though down 5%) and TWICE\u2019s THIS IS FOR<\/em> steps 10-6 (8,000, down 6%).<\/p>\n

\n\tBilly Strings and Bryan Sutton\u2019s Live at the Legion<\/em> enters at No. 7 on Top Album Sales, following its physical release on CD and vinyl on Aug. 1. It sold nearly 6,000 copies in the latest tracking week, up from a negligible sum in the previous week. (It was previously available to purchase only as a digital download, upon its initial release on April 7.) The set captures the pair\u2019s concert at Nashville\u2019s American Legion Post #82 on April 7, 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tVinyl purchases make up the majority of Live at the Legion<\/em>\u2019s sales for the week, with 88% of its sales (a little over 5,000) coming from vinyl purchases. Assisted by its availability across three variants, the set starts at No. 4 on Vinyl Albums.<\/p>\n

\n\tLive at the Legion<\/em> also reenters the Bluegrass Albums chart at No. 1, for its first week atop the tally, with 6,000 equivalent album units earned. It\u2019s the ninth No. 1 for Strings and first for Sutton.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the rest of the top 10 on the latest Top Album Sales chart: Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist\u2019s Alfredo 2<\/em> falls 5-8 in its second week (nearly 6,000, down 62%), Tyler Childers\u2019 Snipe Hunter<\/em> drops 2-9 in its second frame (a little over 5,000, down 80%) and ENHYPEN\u2019s chart-topping DESIRE : UNLEASH<\/em> rises 14-10 (5,000, up 5%).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
