Chart News: Dr. Dre returns to BB200

— Dr. Dre, The Chronic – No. 72 —
After more than 20 years off the chart, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic returns to the list at No. 72 with 8,000 units. Its re-entrance is prompted by the album’s return to digital retailers, where it had been unavailable since 2011. The bulk of its unit total for the week was driven by download sales, as the set also debuts at No. 23 on the Digital Albums chart with 6,000 downloads sold. The Chronic was last on the Billboard 200 chart dated Aug. 27, 1994. In total, the album spent 28 weeks in the top 10, all consecutive, in 1993. It peaked at No. 3 for six nonconsecutive weeks and has sold 5.7 million copies in the U.S.
