Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes
traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
Slipknot Ties Up Third No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 as 'We Are Not
Your Kind' Bundles in atop the chart
Slipknot scored its third No. 1 album on
the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200) as the rock band’s WE ARE NOT
YOUR KIND bowed in the top slot. The album earned 118,000 equivalent album
units in the week ending Aug. 15, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 102,000 were in album sales.
We
Are Not Your Kind was released on Aug. 9 via Roadrunner Records, and is the
group’s first studio album since 2014’s .5: The Gray Chapter.
We
Are Not Your Kind is the first hard rock album to lead the Billboard 200 since
Foo Fighters’ Concrete and Gold entered at No. 1 with 127,000 units on the list
dated Oct. 7, 2017. We Are Not Your Kind also tallies the largest week for a
hard rock album, in terms of units earned, since Concrete.
We
Are Not Your Kind’s big week was boosted by sales of the album generated
from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with Slipknot’s tour,
which started on July 26.
Top
Country Albums now ranks the most popular country albums of the week, as
compiled by Nielsen Music, based on multi-metric consumption (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA)).
10 digital track sales from an
album = 1 track equivalent album (TEA)
“sale”

their first to generate a trio of Country Airplay No.1s. Lead single “Tequila”
led Country Airplay for two weeks in July 2018, and “Speechless” dominated for
four weeks starting last December, marking the pair’s longest-leading hit.
The duo’s first Country Airplay leader, “Nothin’ Like You” (from debut LP
Where It All Began), hit the summit for a week in December 2015, followed by next
single “From the Ground Up” (one week, September 2016). The pair’s third
straight No. 1, “How Not To,” reached the pinnacle for a week in July 2017
(with both “Ground” and “Not” from the act’s sophomore album, Obsessed).

You + Me,” which rose to No. 11 in April 2014.
“Thanks to an incredible effort by our promo team and unparalleled
support from our fans and country radio family, we’re able to officially
celebrate this week,” the duo told Billboard. “This one is extra special
because it marks our first time earning three No.1s from one album. We’re just
so grateful for every step of this journey and the victories along the way.
Chris Lane netted his
fourth total and consecutive Country Airplay top10 as “I
Don’t Know About You” (Big Loud) hopped 14-10 in its 39th
week, gaining by 10% to 21.7 million in audience. The song follows his “Take
Back Home Girl” (featuring Tori Kelly), which peaked at No.8 last August; “For
Her” (No. 10, September 2017); and his lone No. 1 thus far, “Fix,” which led
for a week in August 2016.
Blake Shelton with new
single “Hell Right” (Warner
Music Nashville/WMN), featuring Trace Adkins, arrived as
the top debut on the Country Airplay chart at No. 26, drawing 6.8million
audience impressions in the week ending Aug.18. The song was released Aug.16
and helped by hourly plays on participating iHeartMedia stations that day.
The track is Shelton’s follow-up to “God’s Country,” which topped Country
Airplay for two weeks in July, becoming his 26th No. 1. It ruled Hot Country
Songs for seven weeks, marking his 14th leader.
“Right” is the first Shelton-Adkins collaboration since the pair
dominated with “Hillbilly Bone” for a week in 2010. The new single is Adkins’
40th Country Airplay entry and highest-debuting.
He previously started at a No. 40 best debut with “Just Fishin’,” which
went on to hit No. 6 in 2011, becoming his 15th and most recent top 10.
