\n\tTyler, The Creator<\/a>\u2019s CHROMAKOPIA<\/em> secures a second consecutive and total week atop the Billboard 200<\/a> chart (dated Nov. 16). It\u2019s the rapper\u2019s first album to spend two consecutive weeks at No. 1, and second set to log at least two frames in the lead. He previously notched two nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 with Call Me If You Get Lost<\/em> \u2014 separated by nine months<\/a> \u2014 in 2021-22. He ruled the list with one other album, Igor, which logged one frame at No. 1 in 2019.<\/p>\n \n\tCHROMAKOPIA<\/em> earned 160,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 7 (down 47% in its second week), according to Luminate. It\u2019s the set\u2019s first full seven-day tracking week on the chart, following an abbreviated debut frame of only four days<\/a>, as the album was released on an off-cycle Monday (Oct. 28; most albums are released on Fridays).<\/p>\n \n\tAlso in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, Lil Uzi Vert<\/a> scores their fifth top 10 set with the No. 3 debut of Eternal Atake 2<\/em>, while The Cure<\/a> achieves its highest charting album over 30 years, and first top 10 in over 20 years, with the No. 4 debut of Songs of a Lost World<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid\/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Nov. 16, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s website on Tuesday (Nov. 12).

The set\u2019s sales were aided in its second week by the continued sturdy sales of six deluxe collectible boxed sets (each containing a CD, poster and another branded merch item). The album\u2019s second week got a sales boost from the release of its stand-alone CD and two additional boxed sets. All physical variants of the album are exclusively sold via Tyler, The Creator\u2019s official webstore.<\/p>\n \n\tSabrina Carpenter<\/a>\u2019s chart-topping Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> steps 3-2 with 68,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9%).<\/p>\n \n\tLil Uzi Vert\u2019s Eternal Atake 2<\/em> bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking the fifth top 10-charting set for the rapper (all of which have reached the top three). The set launches with 59,000 equivalent album units earned, of which SEA units comprise 56,000 (equaling 76.43 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s songs), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.<\/p>\n \n\tThe album was announced<\/a> Oct. 24 and released on Nov. 1. Its first-week sales were aided by the album\u2019s availability across seven CD variants (five with a randomized branded trading card; one with a branded T-shirt and a CD in a collectible box; and a standard CD) and a digital download.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Cure debuts in the top five on the Billboard 200 with Songs of a Lost World<\/em>, bowing at No. 4, marking the band\u2019s highest charting album since 1992 and first top 10 since 2004. Songs of a Lost World<\/em> is the group\u2019s first album of new material since 2008. The new album is the act\u2019s third top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200, following its self-titled effort (No. 7 in July 2004) and Wish<\/em> (No. 2 in May 1992).<\/p>\n \n\tSongs of a Lost World<\/em> bows with 57,000 equivalent album units earned (the act\u2019s best week by units). Of that sum, album sales comprise 53,000 (The Cure\u2019s biggest sales week since 2004, when its self-titled album launched with 91,000), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 5.02 million on-demand official streams of the album\u2019s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Songs of a Lost World<\/em> also debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales; the first leader for The Cure on the 33-year-old chart. The new album\u2019s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across five vinyl variants (which sold a combined 23,000 copies; the band\u2019s best week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991), a standard CD, a CD\/blu-ray audio package, two cassettes, a standard digital download and a deluxe digital download with five bonus live tracks (exclusive to the band\u2019s webstore).<\/p>\n \n\tSongs of a Lost World<\/em> was released on Nov. 1, and cryptically announced in early September<\/a>. The set\u2019s title and release date were confirmed<\/a> on Sept. 26, alongside the release of the album\u2019s first cut (and first new song in 16 years), \u201cAlone.\u201d On Oct. 9, a second song from the set, \u201cA Fragile Thing,\u201d arrived<\/a>. The latter track climbs 25-22 (a new peak) on Alternative Airplay and 12-10 on Adult Alternative Airplay. It\u2019s the first charting hit for The Cure on Alternative Airplay since 2008 and the band\u2019s highest-charting song since 2004\u2019s \u201cThe End of the World\u201d reached No. 19. On the Adult Alternative Airplay ranking, \u201cFragile\u201d is the act\u2019s third charting song ever (dating to the chart\u2019s 1996 start), and first to reach the top 10.<\/p>\n \n\tGracie Abrams\u2019 The Secret of Us<\/em> rises 7-5 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units (up 2%).<\/p>\n \n\tChappell Roan\u2019s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess<\/em> pounces 12-6 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), following the singer\u2019s performance on NBC\u2019s Saturday Night Live<\/em> (Nov. 2).
