Malibu (+3) Lorde Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Melodrama' Quote Lorde notches her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as her second full-length album, Melodrama, debuts atop the list. The set, which was released on June 16 through Lava/Republic Records, earned 109,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 22, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 82,000 were in traditional album sales. Melodrama marks the third album by a woman in a row at No. 1 on the chart (in as many weeks), following the chart-topping arrivals of Katy Perry’s Witness (July 1) and Halsey’s Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (June 24). The chart last had three women in a row back in December 2012, when Taylor Swift’s Red returned to No. 1 (Dec. 22), following No. 1 bows by Alicia Keys’ Girl on Fire (Dec. 15) and Rihanna’s Unapologetic (Dec. 8). Until the latest triple, the chart had not housed three new No. 1s by women since September 2009, when Whitney Houston’s I Look to You (Sept. 19) followed Colbie Caillat’s Breakthrough (Sept. 12) and Reba’s Keep On Loving You (Sept. 5). (All three titles were spending their first week at No. 1, and all debuted atop the tally.) # Artist Album Change Units % chg 1 Lorde Melodrama DEBUT 109,000 -- 2 2 Chainz Pretty Girls Like Trap Music DEBUT 106,000 -- 3 Kendrick Lamar DAMN. -1 70,000 +1% 4 Jason Isbell The Nashville Sound DEBUT 54,000 -- 5 Nickelback Feed the Machine DEBUT 47,000 -- 6 Drake More Life -1 42,000 +3% 7 Ed Sheeran Divide -1 38,000 -8% 8 Young Thug Beautiful Thugger Girls DEBUT 37,000 -- 9 Fleet Foxes Crack-Up DEBUT 34,000 -- 10 Bruno Mars 24K Magic -2 30,000 -8% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
