Also in the top 10 of the Top Album Sales chart, Billie Eilish, Niall Horan, Maroon 5, Chevelle, Chance The Rapper and Selena all make waves.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
Wishbone sold 53,000 copies in its first week (Gray’s best sales week ever) with physical purchases comprising nearly all of its sales. Vinyl sales accounted for just over 30,000 sold — Gray’s best week ever on vinyl. Wishbone also bows at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, marking his second leader. The set’s opening-week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven CD variants (including signed editions) and seven vinyl editions (some signed).
On the Billboard 200, Gray has charted five entries overall, with three of them reaching the top 10 (Kid Crow in 2020, No. 5; Superache in 2022, No. 9 and Wishbone in 2025, No. 3). On the Top Album Sales chart, he’s also notched five entries, with four hitting the top 10 (Kid Crow, No. 2; Superache, No. 22; Found Heaven in 2024 at No. 2 and Wishbone, No. 1).
Elsewhere on the latest Top Album Sales chart, Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT surges 44-2 with 18,000 copies sold (up 988%), following the release of a one-year anniversary vinyl variant. Vinyl purchases made up nearly all of its sales for the week. (The 18,000 figure is the total sales of all the versions of the album, old and new, combined.) The anniversary edition of the vinyl was pressed on bio-vinyl dark blue and orange splatter with its cover printed on silver mirror foil board and contains a poster.
Another anniversary helps Niall Horan’s chart-topping Heartbreak Weather reenter the chart at No. 3, as a suite of five-year anniversary products help push the album back onto the ranking. Collectively, all the versions of the album, old and new, sold 12,000 copies in the tracking week (up from a negligible sum the previous week).
Heartbreak Weather was reissued for its fifth anniversary in two new vinyl variants (an opaque baby blue color variant with new cover art, and a deluxe double-LP set pressed on sea-blue and white splatter vinyl with expanded packaging and nine bonus tracks), a CD variant (with new cover artwork and eight bonus tracks) and a digital download (with eight bonus tracks).
Maroon 5 collects its eighth top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart as its latest release, Love Is Like, arrives at No. 4 with nearly 11,000 copies sold. TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s chart-topping The Star Chapter : TOGETHER climbs 7-5 (8,000, down 18%) and Chevelle nabs its sixth top 10 with the No. 6 debut of Bright as Blasphemy (nearly 7,000).
Chance The Rapper’s new studio effort Star Line starts at No. 7 with nearly 7,000 sold, scoring the third top 10 for the artist. Selena’s former No. 1 Dreaming of You reenters the chart at No. 8 with 6,000 sold (up from a negligible sum in the week previous) after a number of 30th anniversary reissue products were released. Dreaming of You was remastered for its 30th anniversary, and reissued across four vinyl variants, a CD and a digital download.
The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack climbs 15-9 on Top Album Sales with its best sales week yet (nearly 5,500 — up 3%). The album has only been available to purchase as a digital download, but will see the impact of its release on CD (on Aug. 22) in the tracking week ending Aug. 28 (as reflected on the Sept. 6-dated Top Album Sales chart).
Closing out the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart is TWICE’s THIS IS FOR, which is steady at No. 10 with 5,000 sold (down 22%).
