Jelly Roll Scores First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With ‘Beautifully Broken’


Jelly Roll racks up his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as Beautifully Broken bows atop the list dated Oct. 26. The set enters with 161,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 17, according to Luminate – the artist’s best week ever by units. The set’s first week was largely driven by album sales – 114,000 – likewise marking Jelly Roll’s largest sales week yet. The album also opens at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.


Beautifully Broken marks Jelly Roll’s second top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200, following the No. 3-peaking Whitsitt Chapel in 2023.


Beautifully Broken additionally achieves the third-largest week, by units, for any country album in 2024, following the debut frames of Beyoncé and Post Malone’s premiere country sets. In total, Jelly Roll scores the fifth country album to lead the all-genre Billboard 200 in 2024 – the most in a year since 2014, when there were also five. (Country albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.)


Elsewhere in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rod Wave secures his seventh consecutive top 10 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap debuts at No. 2, Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3 (matching its debut and peak rank) after a deluxe reissue, GloRilla lands her first top 10 with the No. 5 bow of Glorious, and BigXthaPlug notches his first top 10 with the No. 8 arrival of Take Care.


The 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 Oct. 26, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Oct. 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.


Of Beautifully Broken’s 161,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, album sales comprise 114,000; SEA units comprise 44,000 (equaling 58.86 million on-demand official streams of the 28 songs on its streaming edition); and TEA units comprise 3,000. The album was issued as a 14-track standard release (on CD, vinyl and cassette), a 22-track expanded album (as a digital download and streaming set), a 27-track deluxe edition (sold as a download in Jelly Roll’s official webstore) and a 28-track deluxe album (dubbed Beautifully Broken [Pickin’ Up the Pieces], widely available as a digital download and streaming set).


The album’s opening week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven vinyl variants, three CD variants (the CDs sold a combined 65,000, including a signed edition sold through the artist’s webstore), a cassette tape and three download album variants (the downloads sold 32,000). Net profits from pre-orders of the CD and vinyl in his webstore benefitted four charity organizations: Folds of Honor, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Shatterproof and Wounded Warriors.


Beautifully Broken was preceded by a trio of charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “I Am Not Okay,” “Lonely Road” (with MGK) and “Liar.” They are three of Jelly Roll’s nine songs to debut on the Hot 100 in 2024 – the others include collaborations with the likes of Eminem, Post Malone and Falling in Reverse.


Rod Wave lands his seventh top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap bows at No. 2 with 127,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 125,000 (equaling 173.35 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 23 songs; it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.


Last Lap was previewed by a pair of Hot 100-charting songs: “Passport Junkie” and “Fall Fast In Love.”


Wave has logged at least one Billboard 200 top 10 every year since 2019, beginning with his first charting set, Ghetto Gospel (No. 10, 2019) and continuing on with Pray 4 Love (No. 2, 2020), SoulFly (No. 1, 2021), Beautiful Mind (No. 1, 2022), Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory (No. 9, 2022), Nostalgia (No. 1, 2023) and Last Lap (No. 2, 2024). The only other act with at least one new top 10 in every year over 2019-24 is Taylor Swift.


Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3, matching its debut rank and peak position, following the album’s deluxe reissue on Oct. 11. It earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Oct. 17 – the set’s biggest week yet. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 57,000 (equaling 73.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 48,000 and TEA units comprise less than 1,000.


Brat was originally released on June 7 as a 15-song standard album. It was reissued in a deluxe form on June 10 with three bonus songs, dubbed Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not. After its first tracking week, Brat (with both versions combined for charting and tracking purposes) debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (dated June 22).


On Oct. 11, the album was reissued in a 34-track super deluxe form (named Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat), containing the original album’s 15 songs, the three bonus cuts added on June 10, and then 16 remixes of the set’s tracks featuring a star-studded guest list (including The 1975, Bon Iver, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lorde and many more). Then, on Oct. 14, the completely different album was reissued, adding a remix of “Spring Breakers” with Kesha to its tracklist, bringing the total track count to 35.


The 34-track completely different edition of Brat was released for sale as a digital download, CD, three-LP vinyl and a double-cassette tape, plus as a streaming album. The 35-track edition of the album was available to purchase as a download, and to stream.


All versions of Brat are combined for tracking and charting purposes.


Sabrina Carpenter’s former No. 1 Short n’ Sweet slips 2-4 on the latest Billboard 200 with 85,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8%).


GloRilla grabs her highest charting album, and first top 10, as Glorious bows at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned – the rapper’s best week yet. Of its first-week sum, SEA units comprise 56,000 (equaling 77.98 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 12,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000. The album was available in both a standard and bonus track digital download edition, as well as a signed CD edition.


Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess falls 3-6 on the Billboard 200 (55,000 equivalent album units; down 2%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft descends 5-7 (50,000; up less than 1%).


Rapper BigXthaPlug visits the top 10 for the first time – and the entire top 40 – as his new album Take Care enters at No. 8 with 48,000 equivalent album units earned, marking their biggest week ever. The artist previously notched two chart entries, reaching No. 97 with Amar and No. 111 with The Biggest (both earlier in 2024). Of the album’s first-week units, SEA units comprise 46,500 (equaling 62.77 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 1,500 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.


Rounding out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 are Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time (4-9 with 48,000 equivalent album units; down 5%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department (6-10 with 44,000; down 1%).
