BTS
Arriving days before they announced a indefinite “hiatus,” the newest release from K-Pop superstars BTS gives them yet another #1 album on the Billboard 200. Proof is an anthology collection, mostly of previously released material but also three new songs, but still earned 314,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate data. The release arrived in a variety of formats and configurations. Proof is available as a 35-song digital download or streaming version and a 48-track CD version with additional tracks, mostly unreleased demos. The CD version of Proof was also released in different designs and packaging variants. Proof is also the group’s sixth overall #1 album of their career.
At #2 on the chart is Un Verano Sin Ti from Bad Bunny, which was last week’s #1 album. Harry Styles is at #3 with Harry’s House, followed by Post Malone with Twelve Carat Toothache at #4. I Never Liked You from Future is at #5.
The only other top 10 debut this week comes from Carrie Underwood, as the Country star’s tenth album appropriately debuts at #10. Denim & Rhinestones earned 31,000 equivalent album units. All of Underwood’s albums have debuted in the top 10, going back to her 2005 debut Some Hearts.
The rest of the top 10 is filled out by Morgan Wallen at #6, Kendrick Lamar at #7, Olivia Rodrigo at #8 and SZA at #9.
