Album Ratings: Week Ending July 15, 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.

Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' held the top of the album sales chart for a fourth week, logging 83,000 album-equivalent units in the tracking week ending July 15th. The rest of the chart looked pretty similar to the previous week with Doja Cat's 'Planet Her' retaining the second spot (61,000 units), and Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous: The Double Album' inching up 4-3 (44,000) to switch spots with Lil Baby & Lil Durk's 'The Voice of Heroes' (42,000). Further down the chart, 'Call Me if you Get Lost' from Tyler the Creator dipped to 7th (28,000) while 'Hall of Fame' (37,000) and 'Future Nostalgia' (30,000) each rose two spots to 5th and 6th respectively. Finally, Bo Burnham's 'Inside' and The Weeknd's 'After Hours' each returned to the top 10 at 8th and 9th while Moneybagg Yo's 'A Gangsta's Pain' remained in 10th.
