Album Ratings: Week Ending July 1, 2021

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.

T'was a strong week on the album sales chart with new releases taking the top two spots on the chart. Tyler The Creator's new album 'Call Me If You Get Lost' launched at number one with 169,000 album-equivalent units, leading the week in both SEA units (114,000) and pure album sales (55,000). Next up, Doja Cat's 'Planet Her' debuted at number two on the chart with 109,000 units; the majority from SEA units which accounted for 96,000 & 10,000 from pure album sales. With that, Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' dipped to third with a still-solid 93,000 units, Lil Baby & Lil Durk's 'The Voice of Heroes' went 3-4 with 52,000, and Polo G's 'Hall of Fame' fell 2-5 with 49,000. 'Dangerous: The Double Album' from Morgan Wallen ticked down 5-6 with 47,000 units, Migos's 'Culture III' dropped 4-7 with 37,000, and Justin Bieber's 'Justice' returned to the top 10, going from 14-10 with 30,000.
