Disney 'Descendants' Tops Billboard 200; Led Zeppelin, Drake Return to Top 10
Another week and another soundtrack on top of the Billboard 200 as Descendants, the newest Disney TV movie, manages to get its musical half to no. 1. The compilation moved a total of 42,000 units, which was the lowest number of albums moved by a no. 1 so far during 2015. It may have been a slow sales week, but Disney's not going to complain about another high entry for one of its soundtracks (Teen Beach 2 cracked the Top 10 earlier this year). This is the fourth soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 so far during 2015-the most since 2009-as Descendants follows Empire, Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2. We'll see if another title joins that list by the end of the year. -
Jill Scott Tops Slow Billboard 200, Taylor Swift Spends 40 Weeks in Top 10
Jill Scott took advantage of a slower (if more competitive) week of album sales, coming in at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the second time in a row with her album 'Woman.' Although she can be please with the second no. 1 record in her career, the 62,000 equivalent copies she sold of her new set is less than half of what 'The Light Of The Sun' sold in its first week during 2011. 'Woman' marks the first no. 1 for a solo female performer in nearly five months. -
Future, Jason Isbell and Tame Impala Have Career-Best Albums Sales Weeks
Future's 'Dirty Sprite 2' was expected to top the Billboard albums charts, but not even the emcee himself could have predicted just how well the album would do: DS2 moved 131,500 actual albums, more than double what Honest sold during 2014. Needless to say, it was the performer's best sales week to date. -
Future's 'Dirty Sprite 2' Leads Billboard 200; Alan Jackson and Jason Isbell Rep
Future found the secret to moving more albums with his 'Dirty Sprite 2': Don't give people time to think about it. The album topped the Billboard 200 with more than 147,000 equivalent copies sold, just two weeks after the album was announced. It's been a little more than a year since he released Honest, and he more than doubled the sales of that effort. The quick-release method has helped other rappers Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill get to the top of the charts as well during 2015. -
No 'Shame' as Tyrese Tops Albums Chart, Kidz Bop and R5 Debut New Albums
Tyrese may not have actually contributed to the soundtrack for 'Furious 7' (which spent multiple weeks atop the Billboard 200) but the R&B vocalist did benefit from his role in the film, as 'Black Rose' topped the albums chart by selling 65,000 copies. -
Tyrese Tops Billboard 200 with 'Black Rose,' Beats Meek Mill, Taylor Swift
Tyrese may be the first musician to both star in a film with a no. 1 soundtrack ('Furious 7') and have a no. 1 album of his own in the same year ('Black Rose'). Although he didn't contribute to the aforementioned soundtrack, his most recent album became his first to top the Billboard 200, moving 86,000 equivalent units. -
Meek Mill and 'DWMTM' Gets Another Week as Billboard 200 Shifts Dates
It's an odd span for Nielsen and the Billboard 200, as the international (and official) album release date shifted from Tuesdays to Fridays last week. The next, regular Billboard 200 report should come next Saturday, however Billboard has tried to transition by running a report in the meantime that adds last weeks totals to the four days in-between official release dates. Music Times is trying to run things a little differently, by noting the Top 10 by actual sales during that period. Meek Mill comes out on top again. -
Meek Mill Dominates Billboard 200; Miguel, Taylor Swift Try to Keep Up
Things started off big on the Billboard 200, with Meek Mill's 'Dreams Worth More Than Money', but then quickly dropped off. Mill might argue that his ideals have more philosophical value, but he can't argue with the financial results: Dreams opened with 246,000 in equivalent sales, easily marking his best sales week ever, as well as the fourth-largest opening of 2015 (trailing only Drake's 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late,' Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp A Butterfly' and Mumford & Sons' 'Wilder Mind'). -
Breaking Benjamin, Tori Kelly, and Kacey Musgraves Top Albums Chart
This week's albums chart wasn't too much of a shakeup from the Billboard 200, except that all of the records that dropped in the Top 10 of the latter managed to move up a few places on the former. Breaking Benjamin, Tori Kelly and Kacey Musgraves took the top three spots, respectively, once again. -
Breaking Benjamin Breaks Sales Mark with New Album; Tori Kelly + Kacey Musgraves Follow
Apparently the waiting only makes desire stronger, or at least that's what Breaking Benjamin learned with its most recent release, 'Dark Before Dawn.' The band had gone more than six years without a new album but the new release debuted with 141,000 equivalent copies sold (and 135,000 actual copies, marking the group's highest sales week ever). It's also the band's first no. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Kacey Musgraves and Tori Kelly also dropped new albums.
