LE SSERAFIM lands its third No. 1, and sixth top 10, on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart as PUREFLOW opens atop the list dated June 6. The project launches with 34,000 copies sold in the United States in the week ending May 28, according to Luminate.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, J. Cole’s The Fall-Off reenters after new vinyl pressings were released, while Bleachers score its fourth top 10 with the arrival of everyone for ten minutes, while Maisie Peters achieves her first top 10 with the debut of Florescence.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller rises 6-2, CORTIS’ GREENGREEN falls 1-3 in its second week, BTS’ chart-topping ARIRANG is a non-mover at No. 4 and J. Cole’s The Fall-Off reenters at No. 5 after new vinyl editions of the set dropped. (The album was first released in February.)
Jackson’s Number Ones steps 9-6, Noah Kahan’s former leader The Great Divide is stationary at No. 7 and Jackson’s Off the Wall jumps 14-8.
Closing out the top 10 is a pair of debuts from Bleachers and Peters. The former’s new project everyone for ten minutes starts at No. 9 with a little more than 7,000 sold, marking the fourth top 10 for the act. Peters, meanwhile, nets her first top 10 with the No. 10 bow of Florescence, selling 7,000 copies.
