Noah Kahan Dominates Billboard 200 for Third Consecutive Week!

Noah Kahan’s album, “The Great Divide,” has achieved a significant milestone, securing a third consecutive week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated May 23).

This makes it the first rock album in over a decade to spend three weeks at No. 1. The last rock set to achieve such a feat was Mumford & Sons’ “Babel,” which had five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2012-13.

For a solo artist, the last rock album to spend at least three weeks at No. 1 was Jack Johnson’s “Sleep Through the Static” in 2008. Rock albums are categorized as those eligible for, or charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart.

“The Great Divide” earned 132,000 album units in the U.S., down 19% from the previous week, but stayed No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a third week.

Most of its performance came from streaming (109,000 units), with 22,000 from album sales.

CORTIS debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 87,000 units, boosted by strong physical sales, and also hit No. 1 on Top Album Sales.

Chris Brown’s album “BROWN” entered at No. 7 with 65,000 units, driven mostly by streaming.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Ella Langley’s former leader“Dandelion” remained steady at No. 2 with 100,000 equivalent album units (down 3%).

Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” held at No. 4 with 85,000 units (up 2%). Michael Jackson’s albums continued their strong performance, with “Thriller” at No. 5 (66,000 units, up 6%) and “Number Ones” at No. 6 (just over 65,000 units, up 6%), both benefiting from the success of the Michael biopic film.

Rounding out the top 10 were BTS’s former leader “ARIRANG” (falling 7-8 with 44,000 units, down 10%), Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” (holding at No. 9 with 41,000 units, up 3%), and Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving” (8-10 with nearly 41,000 units, down 3%).
