Albums achieve their positions on the weekly Billboard & Rolling Stone lists based on total units sold; a metric which is the sum of of pure album sales (sales of the entire actual album), streaming-equivalent album units (SEA), and track-equivalent album units (TEA). One SEA unit is equal to 1,250 premium (paid) streams, or 3,750 free streams, and one TEA unit is equal to 10 purchased tracks. There are three charts below: the first one has the top 10 albums based on total weekly units sold according to both Billboard and Rolling Stone. The two sites have different sources of data, hence why their numbers are different (but close). A second chart includes the top 10 albums of the week according to Billboard based on pure album sales, and the third chart includes the top 25 albums of the week, according to Alpha Data, with breakdowns of pure albums, SEA units, and TEA units.
Billie Eilish's 'Happier Than Ever' remained atop the album sales chart for a second consecutive week with 85,000 album-equivalent units in the tracking week ending August 12th. The set was also the week's number one album based on total pure album sales (36K) while Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' led in streaming units (~53K). Additionally, 'Sour' rose 3-2 on the chart this week with 61,000 units while The Kid Laroi's 'F*CK LOVE' descended 2-4 with 56,000 units putting it in a near tie with the launch of Nas's new album 'King's Disease II' (56,000). Elsewhere on the chart, both Doja Cat's 'Planet Her' (55,000) and Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous: The Double Album' (44,000) held their numbers from last week, while 'The Voice of Heroes,' 'Future Nostalgia,' and 'Hall of Fame' held their respective positions (8-10). Finally, the 50th anniversary reissue of George Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass' debuted at #8 with 32,000.
