Joining the recently launched Billboard and TikTok Top 50 Charts is Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums –– which is the latest addition to the many weekly charts counted by Billboard Global. The chart is debuting on October 28 and will reflect data from the week ending last October 19.
The first album to earn the #1 spot is Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana which topped the charts with 176,000 streaming equivalent album units that are equal to 239.56 million on-demand official streams in the entire United States as reported by Luminate.
Filling up the other four positions of numbers two to five in the inaugural Top Streaming Albums chart are Drake’s For All The Dogs, Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time, Rod Wave’s Nostalgia, and Zach Bryan’s self-titled album.
The Top Streaming Albums chart lists the most-streamed albums of the week in the U.S. and is ranked by their streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. For every SEA unit, it represents 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams. To monitor cases of multiple albums with the same song, SEA units are assigned to the album with the highest traditional sales.
This chart, like the “Top Album Sales” chart, contributes to the Billboard 200 albums chart, which ranks the week’s most popular albums in the United States. The Billboard 200 chart gauges audience engagement using equivalent album units, encompassing album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).
