Renan90 Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Coldplay Lands Fifth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'Moon Music' The set launches with the band's biggest week since 2015. Coldplay captures its fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, and first in over a decade, as Moon Music debuts atop the list (dated Oct. 19). The set launches with 120,000 equivalent album units earned, of which 106,000 are in traditional album sales. Both figures represent the biggest week, by units and album sales, for the group since 2015. Overall, Moon Music marks the 10th top 10-charting effort for the band. The act previously led the list with Ghost Stories (2014), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008) and X&Y (2005). 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. 19, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Tuesday (Oct. 15).

Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" orders a 14th round at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which became the singer-songwriter's first leader in July, extends 2024's longest reign and moves to within two weeks of tying the longest command this decade; Morgan Wallen's fellow country/pop crossover smash "Last Night" led for 16 weeks in 2023. Plus, as "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" became Shaboozey's first Hot 100 chart entry with no other billed acts, it ties for the second-longest No. 1 stay among all such breakthrough hits, with only Lil Nas X's debut, "Old Town Road" (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), having led longer, for an overall-record 19 weeks in 2019. "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" additionally furthers the longest No. 1 run of 2024 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, adding an 18th week in the top spot. A fan of multiple musical styles upon discovering music, Shaboozey "found country to be the thing that resonated with me in a really strong way," he shared for his Billboard cover story. "Me being from Virginia, me loving the style and the way of life and the things they talked about … it all seemed very peaceful. It seemed like I could be real. I found country music could teach people that the little things in life are where the value is. Just having a working truck that you can take your girl in to ride to a cliff and watch the sunset is enough." "I love hip-hop; I'm a part of their community, too," Shaboozey added, with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" having reworked J-Kwon's 2004 hit "Tipsy." "That's what I want to do with my music: be disruptive and show people that music is progressing." The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Oct. 19, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Oct. 15).

fridayteenage Posted October 13 Posted October 13 i don't think tour bundles are a thing this decade. "at least eight vinyl variants (including two signed editions, and a Target edition with three bonus tracks) and in six CD variants (including a signed edition, and a "notebook edition" in collectible packaging with bonus voice notes)...at least four digital download variants. Of the digital editions, there were two versions that each included 10 bonus tracks each. Coldplay's official webstore offered the download editions at a discount."

Atlantic did a much better job at putting their physicals out in the world this time. Everyday Life and MOTS were barely available in retail, while Moon Music had a different color of vinyl for each store if I'm not mistaken (red for Target, yellow or Barnes & Noble, etc.) Edited October 13 by gustavothehuman

Mr. Duff Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Oh wow, they did it! I thought it's Sabrina again. Well done Coldplay! The lead single feelslikeimfallinginlove is great, I hope it can help with longevity. 1

But going #1 with +100k units and selling out 13 stadiums across the US on a single day is more than what many bands can claim to have done this late in their career Edited October 14 by gustavothehuman 2 1
Lord Gaga Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Honestly not that bad and the album was much better than I expected.
