Renan90 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Vampire Weekend's 'Father of the Bride' Album Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart The band's third chart-topper logs the biggest week for a rock album in 2019. Vampire Weekend scores its third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as the band’s Father of the Bride bows atop the list. The set earned 138,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 9, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 119,000 were in album sales. Both sums represent the largest for any rock album in 2019. Father was released on May 3 via Spring Snow/Columbia Records. It is the group’s first album with Columbia Records after issuing three studio albums and a live set through XL Recordings. 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. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new May 18-dated chart, where Fatherdebuts at No. 1, will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on May 14. Vampire Weekend previously led the Billboard 200 with the act’s last two studio releases, Modern Vampires of the City (in 2013) and Contra (2010). https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8511052/vampire-weekend-father-of-the-bride-no-1-billboard-200 Billboard 200: #1(new) @vampireweekend, Father of the Bride 138,000 (119,000 in pure sales).
