ENHYPEN claims its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as THE SIN : BLISS debuts atop the ranking (dated Sept. 5). The set earned 98,000 equivalent album units in the United States in its first week (ending Aug. 27), according to Luminate. THE SIN : BLISS marks ENHYPEN’s seventh top 10, all achieved since 2022. The act had previously gone as high as No. 2, twice, with THE SIN : VANISH in January and ROMANCE : UNTOLD in 2024.

Also in the top 10, Dolly Parton, who died on Aug. 25, tallies her fourth top 10-charted album, as the greatest hits collection Ultimate Dolly Parton reenters the chart at No. 5.

Of THE SIN : BLISS’ 98,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 92,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 6,000 (equaling 6.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. THE SIN : BLISS’ album sales were largely driven by its availability across more than 30 CD and vinyl variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, stickers and posters, with some items randomized).

Three former No. 1s follow ENHYPEN, as Ella Langley’s Dandelion rises 5-2 (70,000 equivalent album units, down less than 1%), Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love climbs 4-3 (67,000, down 4%) and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem moves 6-4 (63,000, down 6%).

Dolly Parton’s best-of collection Ultimate Dolly Parton reenters the Billboard 200 at No. 5, marking the late icon’s fourth top 10-charted set, and her second-highest-charted album ever. Parton died on Aug. 25 at age 80 after a short battle with cancer. The entertainer previously visited the top 10 of the chart with the all-star collaborations project Rockstar (No. 3 in 2023, her highest-charted album), Blue Smoke (No. 6 in 2014) and the collaborative album Trio (No. 6 in 1987) with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

Ultimate Dolly Parton was released in 2003 and originally peaked at No. 112 in 2019. Until this week, it hadn’t been on the chart since 2020. In the Aug. 21-27 tracking week, which reflects less than three days of impact following the announcement of Parton’s death, Ultimate Dolly Parton earned 59,000 equivalent album units (up from a negligible sum in the previous week), largely driven by streaming activity of the songs on the album.

The 20-track Ultimate Dolly Parton includes familiar Parton favorites such as “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Here You Come Again,” “9 to 5” and “Islands In the Stream” (with Kenny Rogers). Many of the songs on this album are shared among other Parton projects — hits compilations and studio albums. For chart purposes, songs shared across an artist’s albums have their SEA and TEA assigned to whichever of those albums sells the most, by pure album sales, in a given week. In the latest tracking week, Ultimate Dolly Parton was the legend’s best-selling album, with 7,000 copies sold.

The rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 comprises former leaders. KATSEYE’s WILD falls 1-6 in its second week (55,000 equivalent album units earned, down 68%), Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide is a non-mover at No. 7 (54,000, down 4%), Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT drops 3-8 (48,000, down 42%), Drake’s ICEMAN is stationary at No. 9 (41,000, down 6%) and Ariana Grande’s Petal dips 8-10 (41,000, down 20%).

Dolly for #1 next week, please!

maybe others will chart as well but the article mentions why that was the one charting.

Weeks in Top 10 (Billboard 200)

67: I'm the Problem
20: Dandelion
18: The Great Divide
15: ICEMAN
11: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
4: petal
3: THIS & THAT
2: WILD
1: THE SIN : BLISS; Ultimate Dolly Parton

'The Art of Loving' spent 38 weeks inside the Top 10; 'Lost Weekend', 1.

I'm tired of being pressed about Ella Langley ,it's fine she can have her 30 weeks at #1 but the song will never be a hit to me ,I don't care what Billboard says

Counting the weeks ahead on the calendar, Choosin' Texas could get up to 34 weeks at #1 if it stays at the top until Mariah is expected to take it back. Then a non-zero chance that she climbs back up after New Years'.

I don't understand the point of saying non-Xmas when there's not another Xmas song with more than 4 weeks at #1

disgusting

They're just basically stating this is the biggest song in a calendar year. Mariah's record is based on years of weeks at #1 in the holiday period

True, but the record is weeks at #1 and it's much rarer for a song to continually repeak.

No it's not. Many holiday songs related to Christmas repeak every year which is why they're their own category. Just because Mariah has repeaked at #1 doesn't mean it's acting any different than other holiday songs.

That's exactly what I just said. It's the only song to repeak at #1 at 3+ years versus thousands of #1s with multiple weeks in the same chart run

And yes, being significantly bigger than other holiday songs does make it different, especially in a discussion about #1s

Top 10 is stale af, I don't know a worse year truly.

None is even bothering to comment.

The Taylor song at #3? Didn't it leave Spotify's top 200 this week?

96 - 3 = 93

The fact this song will pull at least 30 weeks at #1 if no one releases anything with impact, c'mom MILEY!

you ask the same question everytime, it's doing rather well on Pandora US which dominates by country artists like Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen, that is why her US streams are still quite good, more than songs like Drop Dead or I Just MIght last week.

See this is what I find sad, if not dystopian. The fact that we can predict a song will remain the "most popular" for 10 or so more weeks is crazy.

The Hot 100 should reflect what the audience is listening to and I'm sure that flactuates week by week. I'm not saying that streaming should be the end all and be all bc older people use different media to consume music so they should figure out a way to include those too. It's just that the way we're talking about these predictions is giving stock market, it has absolutely nothing to do with "art" or "popularity" anymore.
