With ‘5SOS5,’ 5 Seconds Of Summer achieve Their Fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart.

5 Seconds of Summer earns their fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Oct. 8), with their new studio album, 5SOS5. According to Luminate, the set sold 36,000 copies in the United States in the week ending September 29. All five of the quartet’s full-length studio albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the week’s best-selling albums based solely on traditional album sales. The chart’s history begins on May 25, 1991, when Billboard began tabulating charts using electronically monitored piece count data from SoundScan, now Luminate. The Billboard 200 albums chart used only album sales until the list dated December 6, 2014, when it switched to a methodology that combined album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

5SOS5 sold 36,000 copies in its first week, with physical sales accounting for 30,000 (13,000 on vinyl, 16,500 on CD, and 500 on cassette) and digital downloads accounting for 6,000. The availability of the set across six vinyl variants boosted sales, giving the band its best sales week on wax. CDs continued to lead the overall sales charge, owing to the availability of multiple versions in collectible packaging (including alternate cover art for each of the four band members) and deluxe boxed sets.

BLACKPINK’s Born Pink drops to No. 2 in its second week, selling 26,000 copies (a 65% decrease).

Following the set’s 30th-anniversary remastered reissue on Sept. 23, Alice in Chains’ Dirt re-enters Top Album Sales at a new high of No. 3 (23,000 sold; up 4,947%).

The album, which was released in 1992, returns to the list for the first time since 1994. It achieves its highest chart position, surpassing its initial No. 6 debut and peak on the Oct. 17, 1992-dated chart.

Dirt’s re-entry is being fueled largely by sales of its double vinyl album, which has sold 22,500 copies across three different pressings (a widely available standard black LP, a red-colored variant exclusive to Walmart, and an orange-colored LP only available through the band’s webstore). That vinyl sum, the band’s highest since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991, is also enough to propel the album to the top of the Vinyl Albums chart.
