Twenty One Pilots’ “Breach” Wins US Album Sales Race, Debuts At #1 Overall

The modern rock duo scores a new #1.

Making good on projections, twenty one pilots’ “Breach” takes #1 for both pure US album sales and total US activity.

According to Hits Daily Double, the album sold 145K US copies during the September 12-18 tracking period. With units from track sales and streams included, it generated 176K in total first-week US activity.

Both figures rank as the week’s best, with the former to produce a #1 debut on Billboard Top Album Sales and the latter to yield a start atop the Billboard 200.

“Breach” follows 2015’s “Blurryface” and 2024’s “Clancy” as the duo’s third #1 on Top Album Sales. It follows “Blurryface” as the second to rule the Billboard 200.
