Adam Sandler’s “100% Fresh” Debuts At #2 On Billboard Comedy Albums

Tracks “Phone Wallet Keys” and “Farley” also debut.

Adam Sandler released the complete soundtrack to his “100% Fresh” Netflix comedy special on March 22.

Following its first full week in the market, it makes a big splash on the Billboard charts.

The album itself takes #2 on Billboard’s Top Comedy Albums, trailing only Jo Koy’s “Live From Seattle.” The position represents a new high for Sandler, who previously peaked at #11 with “Shhh…Don’t Tell.”

Three tracks, meanwhile, appear on the Billboard Comedy Digital Track Sales chart. “Phone Wallet Keys” bows at #3, while Chris Farley tribute “Farley” debuts at #5.

Sandler also appears on the chart courtesy of his well-known song “Grow Old With You,” which dates back to “The Wedding Singer.” Powered by the version included in “100% Fresh,” the song earns #8 on this week’s Comedy Digital Track Sales chart.

“Grow Old With You” is a 168-week veteran of the chart; it hit #1 in 2015.
