TOMORROW X TOGETHER achieves a remarkable milestone by securing its seventh No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. Their latest release, The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY, opens strongly at the top position with an impressive 95,500 copies sold in the United States for the week ending November 14, as reported by Luminate. This pop sensation made its debut on the chart back in 2020 and has consistently delivered at least one new No. 1 album each year since then, joining the ranks of only one other artist, Taylor Swift, in this remarkable achievement.

Within the latest Top Album Sales chart, ILLIT’s album I’ll Like You makes a noteworthy debut at No. 6, showcasing its growing popularity. Additionally, Kep1er’s Tipi-Tap experiences a significant jump from No. 35 to No. 7 in its second week, highlighting the dynamic nature of current music trends and the increasing fan engagement with these emerging artists.

The Billboard Top Album Sales chart is a comprehensive ranking that showcases the highest-selling albums of the week, exclusively based on traditional album sales. This chart has a rich history that dates back to May 25, 1991, marking the inception of Billboard’s use of electronically monitored data from SoundScan, now known as Luminate. Initially, the Billboard 200 albums chart relied solely on pure album sales until December 6, 2014, when its methodology evolved to include a combination of album sales, track equivalent album units, and streaming equivalent album units. All charts dated November 14 will be accessible on Billboard’s website starting November 19.

The robust first-week sales of The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY were significantly enhanced by its release across 23 distinct CD variants, each featuring collectible branded paper ephemera, with some items randomized to incentivize fans. Furthermore, eight digital download variants were made available, with seven being exclusive to the group’s official webstore, which included enticing bonus tracks that undoubtedly contributed to the album’s strong performance.

Tyler, The Creator continues to hold his position with the chart-topping album CHROMAKOPIA, remaining steady at No. 2 with 28,000 copies sold, albeit a decline of 37%. Meanwhile, Chappell Roan’s previous No. 1 album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, shows resilience as it climbs from No. 4 to No. 3 with 12,000 copies sold, marking a 9% increase. Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet also makes a noteworthy move from No. 6 to No. 4 with nearly 12,000 copies sold, reflecting an 18% rise, while The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World slips from No. 1 to No. 5 in its second week, selling close to 12,000 copies, which represents a sharp decline of 78%.

ILLIT marks a significant achievement with its second top 10-charting album on the Top Album Sales chart, as I’ll Like You makes a remarkable entry at No. 6, selling 10,500 copies in its opening week. The strong sales performance can be attributed to its availability in 14 CD variants, all featuring collectible branded paper ephemera, some of which are randomized to enhance their appeal. Additionally, Kep1er celebrates its first charting entry with Tipi-Tap, which has soared from No. 35 to No. 7 in its second week, selling 9,000 copies, a staggering increase of 218%, marking the group’s best sales week. The album’s opening week sales benefited from being offered in eight CD variants, which also included collectible paper ephemera, some of which were randomized.

Completing the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart is Charli XCX with her album Brat, which climbs from No. 16 to No. 8 with 9,000 copies sold, reflecting an 82% increase, largely due to the release of a white-colored vinyl edition that garnered significant attention. SEVENTEEN’s chart-topping album SPILL THE FEELS slides from No. 5 to No. 9 with nearly 9,000 copies sold, down 16%. Lastly, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft makes an impressive leap from No. 13 to No. 10 with 7,000 copies sold, marking a 23% increase, showcasing the evolving landscape of the music industry and the diverse tastes of listeners.
