After being released in October, Bryson Tiller kicked off the New Year by seeing his debut album Trapsoul finally creep into the top 10 for the very first time. Now this week, it’s not only remaining there – but it’s moved up! The album is now sitting at number 9, having sold an additional 35k. This guy is moving out here! Elsewhere on the chart, Adele is still at number one (shocker,) and Fetty Wap and The Weeknd are still chillin’ in the top 10 as well. Check out the full list below!
Bryson Tiller Celebrated The New Year & His Birthday With His First Top 10 Album
Bryson Tiller came out of nowhere in 2015, but he immediately developed a passionate fanbase. So much so, he was able to drop his debut album TRAPSOUL with relatively no promotion or airplay on October 17, and after debuting at number 11, it’s remained in the top 40 ever since. Closing out a week that included his 23rd birthday and the New Year, Bryson had yet another reason to celebrate – the album finally hit the top 10! On the Billboard 200 charts for the week ending Dec. 31, 2015, the album moved a solid 53k units, securing Bryson’s spot at number 10. Congrats! Check out the full top 10 on the Billboard 200 below!
Billboard 200: Chris Brown Debuts At #3 & Pusha T Debuts At #20
Another week, another number one for Adele. Shocker! For the fifth week in a row, 25 reigns supreme on the Billboard 200, this time moving an additional 1.16 million units. By the way – this is all pure album sales. All other artists have streaming added into their figures, but Adele has not made 25 available on any of the streaming services. Crazy, right? Elsewhere on the chart, Chris Brown’s Royalty sees a strong debut at number 3, coming in with a very strong 184k units sold. This is Chris‘ largest sales week since 2011, when F.A.M.E. started at number 1 with 270k sold. He has released three albums since – 2012’s Fortune, 2014’s X and 2015’s Fan of a Fan: The Album with Tyga. As for Pusha T, King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude sold 45k, landing at the number 20 position. This definitely would have been a top 10 contender at a different point in the year, but with so many big names like Adele, Justin Bieber and One Direction to compete against, it made it tough! Still a solid number, however, and this is only the appetizer for the main course, King Push, which is set to release this April. Check out the full top 10 on this week’s Billboard 200 below!
Find Out How Much Chris Brown and Pusha T Are Expected To Sell This Week!
It comes as no surprise, but Adele is number one once again this week on the Billboard 200. 25 moved another 825k units, making it the biggest selling album released in the U.S. since her last album, 2011’s 21. As for debuts, August Alsina’s This Thing Called Life came in at around 43k units at number 12, while R. Kelly’s The Buffet entered with approximately 37k units at number 16. Looking forward to next week, the two big debuts will be from Chris Brown and Pusha T. For Chris’ Royalty, he’s looking at 150-160k, which will likely give him the #2 spot (behind Adele.) As for Push’s Darkest Before Dawn, he’s looking at around 40-45k. In the meantime, check out this week’s top 10 on the Billboard 200 below!

As for debuts, both G-Eazy and Rick Ross landed in the top 10 with their new releases this week, coming in at numbers 5 and 6, respectively.
