He previously topped the list with AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP (in June 2015) and LONG.LIVE.A$AP (February 2013), both of which also debuted at No. 1.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, ENHYPEN achieves its sixth top 10-charting set with the No. 2 debut of THE SIN : VANISH; Bad Bunny’s former leader DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS jumps 12-3 after a new Amazon-exclusive vinyl was released; YoungBoy Never Broke Again clocks his 17th top 10 with the No. 6 debut of Slime Cry; and Madison Beer lands her first top 10 with the No. 10 debut of Locket.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 31, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 27. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of Don’t Be Dumb’s 123,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 76,000 (equaling 78.02 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, A$AP Rocky’s best streaming week ever — it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 47,000 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Don’t Be Dumb’s release date of Jan. 16 was announced on Dec. 19. The long-awaited set was issued as a widely-available standard 15-track vinyl LP, as well as a 15-track CD and cassette sold exclusively via the artist’s webstore. The wide digital download and streaming editions carried two further tracks. In total, the album was issued across more than a dozen vinyl variants (adding up to 40,000 sold — his best week ever on vinyl). The set also got a boost from its availability in multiple deluxe boxed sets sold in his webstore, each containing a copy of the album on CD and a branded piece of clothing. Further, on Jan. 21, two more tracks were added to the digital and streaming version of the album.

The album’s debut was preceded by its song “PUNK ROCKY,” which entered the Billboard Hot 100 dated Jan. 24 at No. 64.

ENHYPEN lands its sixth top 10 album, all posted consecutively, on the Billboard 200 as THE SIN : VANISH materializes at No. 2. The act scored its first top 10 in 2022 with MANIFESTO: DAY 1 (No. 6) and has seen each of its five subsequent releases debut in the top five. The new album earned 122,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, with 113,000 of that sum in traditional album sales (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, marking the act’s fourth leader). SEA units contributed 9,000 (equaling 9.51 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, the act’s best streaming week ever) and TEA units comprised a negligible sum.

The album’s first-week sales got a boost from its availability across more than 20 CD variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, posters and stickers, with some items randomized), including signed editions.

Bad Bunny’s former leader DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS jumps 12-3 following the release of a new Amazon-exclusive red-colored vinyl variant on Jan. 16. Last September, Amazon teamed with the artist to livestream the final concert of his Puerto Rico residency on Sept. 20 via Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch.

In the week ending Jan. 22, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS earned 119,000 equivalent album units (up 270%). Of that sum, pure album sales numbered 85,000 (up 4,909%), essentially all in vinyl purchases. That marks Bad Bunny’s best week ever on vinyl, surpassing the 48,000 that he sold of the same album when it first became available on vinyl (May 17, 2025-dated chart). The 85,000-sales week for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS on vinyl is the also the biggest sales week in the modern era for a Spanish-language album on vinyl (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991).

Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8; two days before that, a new vinyl edition of the album will drop. This time, it will be a white-colored vinyl that will be available across all retailers.

Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 I’m the Problem dips 2-4 on the latest Billboard 200 (75,000 equivalent album units, down 9%), while Zach Bryan’s With Heaven On Top falls 1-5 in its second week (70,000, down 48%).

YoungBoy Never Broke Again charts his 17th top 10 effort on the Billboard 200, as Slime Cry debuts at No. 6. The set earned 70,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, with 69,000 of that sum generated by SEA units (equaling 72.6 million on-demand official streams of the album; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums).

With a 17th top 10, YoungBoy Never Broke Again ties Drake for the second-most top 10 albums ever among rappers. Only Future, with 18, has more top 10 albums among rap artists.

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving falls 3-7 on the latest Billboard 200 (56,000 equivalent album units earned, down 13%), Swift’s former leader The Life of a Showgirl slides 4-8 (53,000, down 15%) and the chart-topping KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack descends 5-9 (47,000, down 16%).

Closing out the top 10 is Madison Beer’s Locket, debuting at No. 10 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the first top 10 — and top 40 — for the singer-songwriter, who notched three previous entries, going as high as No. 65 with Life Support in 2021. The new album was preceded by Beer’s first Hot 100 hit, “Bittersweet,” which debuted at No. 98 on the chart dated Jan. 10. On the most recently published Pop Airplay chart (dated Jan. 31), the track rebounds to its No. 23 best.

Of the 43,000 first-week units for Locket (Beer’s best-ever week by units), album sales comprise 24,000 (her biggest sales week yet; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 18,000 (equaling 18.89 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — her best streaming week ever; it debuts at No. 33 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Locket’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including a signed edition), three CD variants (including a signed version), a standard digital download edition and a cassette tape. Locket was also available in deluxe boxed set variations sold on Beer’s webstore, which contained a copy of the CD and branded merchandise.
