Olivia Rodrigo‘s hit album Sour is back at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart this week, returning to the top slot for the first time since its debut at the end of May. According to MRC Data, Sour earned 105,000 equivalent album units, which makes it the second 2021 album to earn more than of 100,000 units in each of its first five weeks. Morgan Wallen‘s Dangerous: The Double Album was the other.
Coming in at #2 is Polo G with Hall of Fame, followed by Voice of the Heroes by Lil Baby and Lil Durk at #3. Migos‘ Culture III is at #4 with Wallen at #5.
H.E.R. earns the first top 10 album of her career as Back of My Mind debuts at #6 on the Billboard 200 with 36,000 equivalent album units. Back of My Mind is the first full-length record of H.E.R.’s career, but she has put out numerous compilations and EPs over the past four years, earning her multiple Grammys, as well as an Oscar earlier this year for “Fight for You” from the film Judas and the Black Messiah.
The rest of the top 10 is made up of Dua Lipa (#7), Moneybagg Yo (#8), comedian Bo Burnham‘s Inside (The Songs), the soundtrack to his new Netflix special, at #9 and J. Cole at #10.
