Billboard reports<\/a> as 54K total consumption units, Rihanna’s “ANTI” rises two places to #1 on the consumption-driven Billboard 200 chart.<\/p>\nIn returning to the #1 position it first reached in its second week on the chart, “ANTI” becomes Rihanna’s first multi-week leader on the chart. “Unapologetic,” her only other #1, ruled for just one week.<\/p>\n
The BB200 ranks albums based on the sum of pure sales, Track Equivalent Albums (track sales\/10) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (track streams\/1500).<\/p>\n
Adele’s “25” holds at #2 on the BB200, while Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” (#3, +2), Joey + Rory’s “Hymns” (#4, +2), and Kendrick Lamar’s “untitled unmastered” (#5, -4) form the balance of the Top 5.<\/p>\n
— As noted, “Hymns” leads the weekly, sales-only Top Album Sales chart; Billboard credits the album with 44K copies sold during the March 11-17 tracking week.<\/p>\n
Physical sales from Cracker Barrel stores\/restaurants reportedly played a big role in the weekly victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047],"tags":[1756,5162,5842,5330,96,700,129],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
