XXXTentacion's 'Skins' Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

 

Plus: Gucci Mane & John Mellencamp bow in the top 10.

XXXTentacion’s first posthumously released album, Skins, debuts at No. 1 the Billboard 200 chart. The set, which was released on Dec. 7 via Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE, is XXXTentacion’s second No. 1, and it earned 132,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Dec. 13, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 52,000 were in album sales.

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Dec. 22-dated chart (where Skins bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday, Dec. 18.

 

Skins is the first posthumous No. 1 album since Prince’s The Very Best of Prince re-entered the chart dated May 6, 2016 at No. 1, following his death on April 21 of that year.

 

Skins’ debut week was largely driven by streaming activity of the album, as it tallied 78,000 SEA units, which equals 121.8 million on-demand audio streams of the set’s tracks.

Technically deserved 6 weeks so far but we won't get into that again 

[Renan90]

Mariah 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Thank U Next feels like the biggest pop girl song in a long time. Very deserved. 

 

I think she’ll end up with 6-7 weeks. I have a feeling she will manage to fend off a threat like Mariah, and I also think she’ll get a bigger Christmas boost than Halsey, her biggest competition rn.

 

would be cool if Halsey directly followed her to get another female pop #1 in January 2019.

 

This chart definitely shows that the urban trend peaked this year and is starting to die off. Mo Bamba already being out of the top 10 is a blessing to our ears.

I really want AIWFCIY to got #1

Yeah, as an Ariana stan I was hoping Ariana could finish off 2018 and kick off 2019 as #1, but if Halsey gets it before then, it’s another woman getting a #1 which is much needed! Okay, Without Me is excellent!

[Flexus]

Damn ladies!!

 

when was the last time we had two female solo (or female led I guess?) songs at #1 and #2
