Harry Styles‘ new album Harry’s House debuts at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart with the largest opening tally of the year. Harry’s House earned 521,000 equivalent album units, not just the best week in 2022, but the biggest week since Adele‘s 30 debuted with 839,000 units last November. All three of Styles’ solo releases have debuted at #1. Harry’s House also sets a new record for single-week vinyl sales with 182,000 LPs sold, the largest amount since SoundScan (now Luminate) began its tracking in 1991. Of the 521,000 units, album sales comprised 330,000 of them, giving Styles the biggest sales week of the year as well.
Coming in at #2 on the Billboard 200 this week is Bad Bunny‘s Un Verano Sin Ti, followed by last week’s #1, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers from Kendrick Lamar. Another former #1 release, Future‘s I Never Liked You, lands at #4.
The second-highest debut on this week’s album chart comes from Country singer Zach Bryan with his American Heartbreak arriving at #5. Fellow Country artist Morgan Wallen is at #6 with his chart staple Dangerous: The Double Album.
The rest of the top 10 is filled out by Jack Harlow (#7), Olivia Rodrigo (#8), TOMORROW X TOGETHER (#9) and Lil Durk (#10).
