NAYEON’s ‘NA’ Debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales Chart


NAYEON scores her second No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated June 29) as NA enters atop the list, with 43,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending June 20, according to Luminate. The TWICE member previously led the list with her first solo entry, IM NAYEON, in 2022.


Also in the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart, the newest releases from $uicideboy$, Don Toliver, Luke Combs and Paul McCartney & Wings debut, while the Twilight soundtrack returns.


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. The new June 29, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.


Sales of NAYEON’s NA were largely powered by CD sales (34,500 of its total 43,000). Vinyl accounted for 7,500, while digital download album purchases totaled 1,000. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 15 CD variants and two vinyl variants, all containing branded paper merchandise.


Taylor Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department climbs 4-2 with 33,000 sold. The album’s sales grew 42% in the tracking week thanks largely to two new CD variants of the set that shipped to customers. The two CDs, which were sold exclusively in Swift’s webstore, were briefly available to pre-order in early June. Both CDs contain the standard album’s 16 songs and an acoustic bonus track (one includes “Down Bad” and one includes “Guilty as Sin?”).


$uicideboy$ notch their highest-charting effort on Top Album Sales as New World Depression debuts at No. 3 with nearly 20,000 sold. The set’s sales were aided by its availability across six vinyl variants, which sold a combined 16,000 – the hip-hop duo’s best week ever on vinyl. It also debuts at No. 1 on Vinyl Albums – marking the act’s first leader on the tally.


Don Toliver logs his biggest sales week ever, as his new studio album Hardstone Psycho arrives at No. 4 with 19,500 sold – all from digital download album sales. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by a mid-week release of a deluxe digital download album, sold exclusively through Toliver’s webstore, for $5, containing four additional bonus tracks exclusive to this download version and features from Lil Uzi Vert and Yeat.


Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft is a non-mover at No. 5 on Top Album Sales with nearly 17,000 sold (down 16%).


Luke Combs’s Fathers & Sons starts at No. 6 with 14,000 sold. The set marks his sixth consecutive top 10 – the entirety of his charting entries. The album, which was announced just a week before it was released, was widely available as a digital download purchase, but had just one CD and one vinyl LP (both sold exclusively via Combs’ webstore).


The chart-topping Twilight soundtrack re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 7 with 13,000 sold (up from a negligible sum the previous week), following the set’s reissue on vinyl in three different color variants. Vinyl sales comprise essentially all of the sales for the week, and the album, first released in 2008, debuts on the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 2.


The first official release of Paul McCartney & Wings’ One Hand Clapping debuts at No. 8 with nearly 13,000 sold. The set, which was recorded in August of 1974, was issued as a digital download, CD and in two vinyl editions.


Closing out the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart are Charli XCX’s Brat (falling 3-9 in its second week with 12,000; down 69%) and ATEEZ’s chart-topping Golden Hour: Part.1 (2-10 with nearly 12,000; down 72%).
