Album Ratings: Week Ending November 11, 2021

Below is a breakdown of the top albums in the week ending November 11, 2021. Albums achieve their positions on the weekly Billboard charts 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 Billboard (and usually a small select number albums below the top 10). The 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.

Summer Walker scored her very first #1 album with her new set 'Still Over It' which launched at the summit of the weekly album sales chart with 166,000 album-equivalent units. This nearly doubled second-ranked ABBA's 'Voyage' which began at #2 with 82,000 units (with the vast majority from pure sales: 78,000). With that, Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy' went 2-3 with 62,000 units and Ed Sheeran's '= (Equals)' fell to #4 after last week's #1 debut. The next two albums: Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous: The Double Album' and Doja Cat's 'Planet Her' each dipped two spots from last week; the former from 3-5 and the latter from 4-6. The same was the case with both Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' and YoungBoy Never Broke Again's 'Sincerely, Kentrell' which also were down 2 spots: 6-8 and 7-9 respectively. Finally, KeyGlock's 'Yellow Tape 2' debuted at #7 with 36,000, and Lil Nas X's 'Montero' rounded out the top 10 with 27,000 units.
