Chart Listings: BB200: Fifth Harmony 74K/49K

Drake’s Views continues to dominate the Billboard 200 albums chart, as it spends a fifth consecutive week at No. 1 atop the list. As noted a week ago, Views has the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a man since Michael Buble’s Christmas also led the chart for five weeks in December 2011-January 2012. Views earned another 152,000 equivalent album units (down 19 percent) in the week ending June 2, according to Nielsen Music. More than half of that sum, 92,000 units, were comprised of streaming equivalent albums. Views’ 92,000 SEA units equates to nearly 138 million streams for the album’s tracks (as each SEA unit represents 1,500 streams from an album). With Views’ latest streaming haul, the set now has the top five largest streaming weeks for an album: its debut frame holds the record (245.1 million streams for its tracks), followed by its third week (186.1 million), its fourth week (166.2 million), its second week (140.8 million), and then its fifth frame (137.5 million). Beyonce’s former No. 1, Lemonade, rises one rung to No. 3 with 79,000 units (down 20 percent). Fifth Harmony earns its highest charting album yet, as 7/27 flies in at No. 4 with 74,000 units (49,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the quintet’s third top 10 album, following 2015’s Reflection (No. 3 peak) and 2013’s Better Together EP (No. 6). |
