Album Ratings: Week Ending June 24, 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.

With no major new releases this week, Olivia Rodrigo's 'Sour' returned to the top of the album sales & streaming chart with 105,000 units in the tracking week ending June 24th. 'Sour' had the week's best SEA units (~91K) and the second-best pure album sales (12,000), just behind Seventeen's 'Your Choice' which had 20,500 pure and 21,900 total units. Polo G's 'Hall of Fame' dipped to second this week (65,000) after last week's number one debut, Migos's 'Culture III' dropped to 4th (54,000) last week's number two debut, and Lil Baby & Lil Durk's 'The Voice of Heroes' ticked up 4-3 despite falling to 57,000 (from 73K). Finally, Morgan Wallen's 'Dangerous: The Double Album' held the 5th position and was quite stable in total units from last week, H.E.R.'s 'Back of My Mind' debuted at number six with 36,000, and Dua Lipa's 'Future Nostalgia' returned to the top 10 this week (32,000) after ranking 11th last week.
