AceShowbiz - The latest Billboard 200 chart dated May 2 confirms that Ella Langley’s album Dandelion remains the top-selling album in the United States for a second consecutive week. The album earned 106,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending April 23, marking a 37% decrease from its debut week, which saw 169,000 units moved.

According to data compiled by Luminate, Dandelion continues to dominate the chart despite the decline in units earned. The album’s strong presence is supported by its performance across different consumption metrics, including album sales, streaming, and track equivalents.

Breaking down the 106,000 units for the week, streaming equivalent albums (SEA) accounted for 97,000 units, reflecting a 24% decrease but still representing an impressive 99.41 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. This sustained streaming success has allowed Dandelion to hold the No. 1 spot on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week.

Physical and digital album sales contributed 7,000 units, experiencing a steep 81% drop compared to the first week. This decline caused Dandelion to fall from No. 1 to No. 15 on the Top Album Sales chart. Track equivalent albums (TEA) made up 2,000 units, down 33% from the prior week.

The Billboard 200 ranks albums based on multi-metric consumption, which combines album sales, TEA, and SEA. One album unit is equivalent to either one full album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription streams of songs from an album. The full May 2, 2026 chart will be officially published on Billboard’s website on April 28.

Following Dandelion at No. 2 is Morgan Wallen’s I'm the Problem, which remains steady, earning 84,000 equivalent album units—showing a slight 1% increase from the previous week.

New to the top three is K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER with their album 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns, which debuts at No. 3, earning 69,000 equivalent album units. Notably, 67,000 of those units come from album sales, placing the album at No. 1 on Top Album Sales. The remaining units are composed of 2,000 SEA units, equivalent to 2.67 million on-demand streams, and the rest from TEA. The album’s strong sales are attributed to its availability in over 20 CD variants, each offering collectible items such as photocards, stickers, and posters, with some items randomized to boost fan interest.

At No. 4, BTS’s ARIRANG drops three spots with 62,000 equivalent album units, down 21%. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber’s SWAG rises from No. 7 to No. 5, boosted by a 42% increase to 61,000 units. The album’s resurgence is linked to Bieber’s headline performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 11 and 18.

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving slips one spot to No. 6 with 46,000 equivalent album units, a 3% decrease. Meanwhile, the popular K-pop soundtrack for Demon Hunters re-enters the top 10 at No. 7, climbing from No. 16. This resurgence follows the release of two new vinyl variants for Record Store Day on April 18, pushing its equivalent album units up by 46% to 46,000, with album sales surging 444% to 19,000 units sold.

Rounding out the top 10, three former No. 1 albums show slight declines: Don Toliver’s OCTANE at No. 8 with 42,000 units (down 12%), Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS at No. 9 with 41,000 units (down 5%), and Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time at No. 10 with 40,000 units (down 1%).
