Ella Langley is holding the top spot. Her album Dandelion spent a second consecutive week at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 106,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 23, according to Luminate. That figure was down 37% from its debut frame, when the album opened with 169,000 units, but it was enough to keep the competition at bay.
Streaming did nearly all the heavy lifting. Of the 106,000 units, 97,000 came from streaming equivalent albums, representing 99.41 million on-demand official streams of the album's tracks. Album sales dropped sharply, from a strong opening week to just 7,000 units, sending the project from number one down to number 15 on the Top Album Sales chart. Dandelion held at number one on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week.
K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER made the biggest debut of the week, landing at number three with 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns. The album opened with 69,000 equivalent album units, of which 67,000 came from album sales alone, debuting at number one on the Top Album Sales chart. The group's first-week total was boosted by more than 20 CD variants, each loaded with collectible items including photocards, stickers, and posters, with some items randomized. It marks the group's eighth top-10 charted album on the Billboard 200.
Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem remained stationary at number two with 84,000 units, up 1%. BTS's ARIRANG slipped from three to four with 62,000 units, down 21%.
Justin Bieber's SWAG climbed from seven to five, earning 61,000 units — a 42% jump that Billboard attributes to his headlining sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 11 and 18. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack jumped from number 16 back into the top 10, landing at number seven, after two new vinyl variants were released through independent record stores for Record Store Day on April 19.
The full May 2-dated Billboard 200 chart is set to be published on Billboard's website on April 28.
