Weezer’s self-titled debut album, first released in 1994, returns to Billboard’s album charts (dated Nov. 16) following its 30th-anniversary deluxe reissue on Nov. 1. The set, referred to as the Blue Album due to its blue-colored cover, boasts the top 10-charting Alternative Airplay hits “Undone – The Sweater Song,” “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.” For its anniversary, it was reissued across five vinyl variants (including a deluxe four-LP set), a deluxe three-CD set and a deluxe digital download edition. The deluxe vinyl, CD and download sets included a wealth of bonus tracks.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.
At No. 1 on Top Album Sales, The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World arrives with 53,000 copies sold in its first week – marking the band’s best sales week since 2004. Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA falls 1-2 in its second week, with 44,000 sold (down 69%). Fallon’s first festive album, Holiday Seasoning, opens at No. 3 with 12,000 sold; it’s Fallon’s first top 10-charting set on Top Album Sales. Rounding out the top five is Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (jumping 16-4 with 11,000 sold; up 22%, following her turn on NBC’s Saturday Night Live on Nov. 2) and SEVENTEEN’s chart-topping SPILL THE FEELS (7-5 with nearly 11,000; down 40%).
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 13-6 (10,000; down 2%), Skillet snares its sixth top 10 with the debut of Revolution at No. 7 (nearly 10,000), the Saltburn soundtrack debuts at No. 8 (nearly 10,000; largely from vinyl sales), Jelly Roll’s former leader Beautifully Broken rises 11-9 (8,000; down 30%) and Weezer’s self-titled debut re-enters at No. 10.
