Billie Eilish Earns Second No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With ‘Happier Than Ever’

Plus: Prince’s 'Welcome 2 America' and Isaiah Rashad's 'The House Is Burning' debut in the top 10.

Billie Eilish earns her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as her latest release, Happier Than Ever, debuts atop the list with 238,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 5, according to MRC Data. Happier launches with the fifth-largest week of 2021 by equivalent album units earned. The year’s biggest week belongs to Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour, which charged in at No. 1 on the June 5 chart with 295,000 units.

 

Happier is Eilish’s first studio effort since 2019’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which also launched at No. 1 (April 13, 2019-dated chart), and spent a total of three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The set finished 2019 as the year-end Top Billboard 200 Album and went on to win the Grammy Award for album of the year, and the 2020 Billboard Music Award for Top Billboard 200 Album. So far, the album has earned just over 5 million equivalent album units in the U.S., with 1.2 million of that in album sales.

 

All told, Happier is Eilish’s fifth charting effort on the Billboard 200, and third top 40-charting set, after When We All Fall Asleep and her debut chart entry Don't Smile at Me (No. 14 peak in 2019). She also hit the chart with Live at Third Man Records (No. 55 in 2020) and Prime Day Show x Billie Eilish (No. 87 earlier this year).

 

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 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 Aug. 14, 2021-dated chart (where Happier Than Ever bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Aug. 10.

Good numbers.

Just as predicted in may. 

underwhelming numbers

Her 3rd album will be the truth teller 

Great numbers, all things considered. Some people were saying on that first day numbers thread this was going to debut with ~100k. 

 

Hopefully HTE will give the album longevity.

down about 40% in streams vs. debut

tragic tbh 

good for her

 

shook at Laroi's album

 

Vinyl 73k alone

 

Even the Casette are huge

 

 

This is the 3rd biggest debut of the year?? Sour & Fearless above did I miss any other release 

I mean...these are good numbers, but the album is about to face a massive drop in sales in its second week, so...will it even make it to 500k?

Stay ft. Justin def helped but good for him !

Great numbers

 Happier was available in a great number of physical album formats. They include eight different colored vinyl LPs (including retail-exclusives for Amazon, independent record stores, Target, Urban Outfitters and Walmart), 10 CD variants (including a signed CD for indie stores, a version with alternative packaging hand-painted by Eilish, three premium boxed sets and a Target-exclusive edition packaged with a poster) and even multiple cassette tape variants (including a deluxe boxed set).

 

Well

I have no idea what's a good or bad number when it comes to sales but 73k vinyl records are insane.

Great numbers, especially the pure sales  Hopefully the title track becomes the hit it needs to keep it stable.

It has 400k pre-album units so...

Great numbers for Olivia 

Her star power is fading... Terrible numbers considering her big breakthrough

the GP really said NO to this era for Billie. 

her fanbase did purchase a good amount of copies so good for her.
