The set was surprise released on Feb. 18 exclusively on CD and vinyl, with its digital download and streaming versions slated for a March 21 release. (The March 8 chart reflects the sales week ending Feb. 27.)<\/p>\n \n\tIn the tracking week ending Feb. 20, the album sold about 4,000 copies in the U.S., according to Luminate and yielded debuts on Top Album Sales (No. 27) and Indie Store Album Sales (No. 4). All sales generated in the Feb. 18-20 frame were from brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n \n\tThen, in the week ending Feb. 27, as mail order sales kicked in, it sold nearly 10,000 copies (up 205%), largely from vinyl sales (almost 8,000). The set surges 27-5 on Top Album Sales, 4-2 on Indie Store Album Sales and bows at No. 4 on Vinyl Albums, No. 6 on Top Hard Rock Albums, No. 19 on Top Alternative Albums, No. 24 on Top Rock Albums and No. 30 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums. It also debuts at No. 155 on the all-genre Billboard 200 as the only title on the list charting from solely physical sales.<\/p>\n \n\tWith the 27-5 jump on Top Album Sales for A Big Ole Album, Vol. 1<\/em>, A Day to Remember earns its third top 10-charting effort on the list. The rock band also visited the top 10 with 2021\u2019s You\u2019re Welcome<\/em> (peaking at No. 3) and 2016\u2019s Bad Vibrations<\/em> (No. 1).<\/p>\n \n\tBillboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Album Sales<\/a> chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart\u2019s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard<\/em> 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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n \n\tAs for the rest of the top 10 on the latest Top Album Sales chart, Tate McRae\u2019s new So Close To What<\/em> leads the pack, as it debuts atop the list with 71,000 copies sold. Kendrick Lamar\u2019s chart-topping GNX<\/em> is a non-mover at No. 2 with 19,000 (down 37%) and Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> falls 1-3 with 17,000 (down 77%). Chappell Roan\u2019s former No. 1 The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess<\/em> climbs 5-4 with nearly 10,000 (down 15%).<\/p>\n \n\tThe Weeknd\u2019s chart-topping Hurry Up Tomorrow<\/em> is stationary at No. 6 with 9,000 sold (down 16%) and Stray Kids\u2019 former No. 1 HOP<\/em> is steady at No. 7 with 8,000 (down 8%).<\/p>\n \n\tRock act Killswitch Engage debuts at No. 8 with This Consequence<\/em>, selling nearly 7,000 copies. It\u2019s the eight top 10-charting set for the group.<\/p>\n \n\tBillie Eilish\u2019s Hit Me Hard and Soft<\/em> falls one spot to No. 9 with 6,000 sold (down 23%) and G-DRAGON logs his first top 10 with \u00dcbermensch<\/em> bowing at No. 10 with nearly 6,000 sold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
