Several albums benefited from exposure during last Sunday’s Grammy Awards, but none challenged “Fifty Shades Darker” for the top chart spots this week.
The album officially debuts at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales (pure sales) and 200 (consumption) charts.
It tops the former thanks to what Billboard reports as 72K in pure opening week US sales.
With TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) included, it generated 123K in total consumption units. That figure is enough for #1 on the Billboard 200.
Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” takes #2 on the Billboard 200 with 66K units, while Big Sean’s “I Decided” (#3, 62K units), Migos’ “Culture” (#4, 59K units), and The Weeknd’s “Starboy” (#5, 54K units) complete the Top 5.
Adele’s “25,” which won the Grammy Award for Album Of The Year, rises to #6 with 47K units.
