Beautifully Broken marks Jelly Roll’s second top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200, following the No. 3-peaking Whitsitt Chapel in 2023.

Trending on Billboard

Beautifully Broken additionally achieves the third-largest week, by units, for any country album in 2024, following the debut frames of Beyoncé and Post Malone’s premiere country sets. In total, Jelly Roll scores the fifth country album to lead the all-genre Billboard 200 in 2024 – the most in a year since 2014, when there were also five. (Country albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.)

Elsewhere in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rod Wave secures his seventh consecutive top 10 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap debuts at No. 2, Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3 (matching its debut and peak rank) after a deluxe reissue, GloRilla lands her first top 10 with the No. 5 bow of Glorious, and BigXthaPlug notches his first top 10 with the No. 8 arrival of Take Care.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 26, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Oct. 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Beautifully Broken’s 161,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, album sales comprise 114,000; SEA units comprise 44,000 (equaling 58.86 million on-demand official streams of the 28 songs on its streaming edition); and TEA units comprise 3,000. The album was issued as a 14-track standard release (on CD, vinyl and cassette), a 22-track expanded album (as a digital download and streaming set), a 27-track deluxe edition (sold as a download in Jelly Roll’s official webstore) and a 28-track deluxe album (dubbed Beautifully Broken [Pickin’ Up the Pieces], widely available as a digital download and streaming set).

The album’s opening week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven vinyl variants, three CD variants (the CDs sold a combined 65,000, including a signed edition sold through the artist’s webstore), a cassette tape and three download album variants (the downloads sold 32,000). Net profits from pre-orders of the CD and vinyl in his webstore benefitted four charity organizations: Folds of Honor, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Shatterproof and Wounded Warriors.

Beautifully Broken was preceded by a trio of charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “I Am Not Okay,” “Lonely Road” (with MGK) and “Liar.” They are three of Jelly Roll’s nine songs to debut on the Hot 100 in 2024 – the others include collaborations with the likes of Eminem, Post Malone and Falling in Reverse.

Rod Wave lands his seventh top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap bows at No. 2 with 127,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 125,000 (equaling 173.35 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 23 songs; it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Last Lap was previewed by a pair of Hot 100-charting songs: “Passport Junkie” and “Fall Fast In Love.”

Wave has logged at least one Billboard 200 top 10 every year since 2019, beginning with his first charting set, Ghetto Gospel (No. 10, 2019) and continuing on with Pray 4 Love (No. 2, 2020), SoulFly (No. 1, 2021), Beautiful Mind (No. 1, 2022), Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory (No. 9, 2022), Nostalgia (No. 1, 2023) and Last Lap (No. 2, 2024). The only other act with at least one new top 10 in every year over 2019-24 is Taylor Swift.

Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3, matching its debut rank and peak position, following the album’s deluxe reissue on Oct. 11. It earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Oct. 17 – the set’s biggest week yet. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 57,000 (equaling 73.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 48,000 and TEA units comprise less than 1,000.

Brat was originally released on June 7 as a 15-song standard album. It was reissued in a deluxe form on June 10 with three bonus songs, dubbed Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not. After its first tracking week, Brat (with both versions combined for charting and tracking purposes) debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (dated June 22).

On Oct. 11, the album was reissued in a 34-track super deluxe form (named Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat), containing the original album’s 15 songs, the three bonus cuts added on June 10, and then 16 remixes of the set’s tracks featuring a star-studded guest list (including The 1975, Bon Iver, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lorde and many more). Then, on Oct. 14, the completely different album was reissued, adding a remix of “Spring Breakers” with Kesha to its tracklist, bringing the total track count to 35.

The 34-track completely different edition of Brat was released for sale as a digital download, CD, three-LP vinyl and a double-cassette tape, plus as a streaming album. The 35-track edition of the album was available to purchase as a download, and to stream.

All versions of Brat are combined for tracking and charting purposes.

Sabrina Carpenter’s former No. 1 Short n’ Sweet slips 2-4 on the latest Billboard 200 with 85,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8%).

GloRilla grabs her highest charting album, and first top 10, as Glorious bows at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned – the rapper’s best week yet. Of its first-week sum, SEA units comprise 56,000 (equaling 77.98 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 12,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000. The album was available in both a standard and bonus track digital download edition, as well as a signed CD edition.

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess falls 3-6 on the Billboard 200 (55,000 equivalent album units; down 2%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft descends 5-7 (50,000; up less than 1%).

Rapper BigXthaPlug visits the top 10 for the first time – and the entire top 40 – as his new album Take Care enters at No. 8 with 48,000 equivalent album units earned, marking their biggest week ever. The artist previously notched two chart entries, reaching No. 97 with Amar and No. 111 with The Biggest (both earlier in 2024). Of the album’s first-week units, SEA units comprise 46,500 (equaling 62.77 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 1,500 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Rounding out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 are Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time (4-9 with 48,000 equivalent album units; down 5%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department (6-10 with 44,000; down 1%).

The song was written by Smyers, Mooney, Bieber, Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd, Jessie Jo Dillon and Jordan Reynolds, and Smyers produced it. 

After learning that “10,000 Hours” had hit No. 1, Smyers told Billboard, “We wrote this song about our wives, and we’re glad that it means as much to our fans as it does to us. The reaction has been incredible.”

“10,000 Hours” also topped the Country Airplay chart, where Dan + Shay boast 11 No. 1s, between 2015 and 2021. Plus, the song hit No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 10 on Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary.

On Hot Country Songs, which became an all-encompassing genre ranking in 1958, “10,000 Hours” is the seventh-longest-leading No. 1. Another country/pop crossover hit holds the record: Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant to Be” dominated for 50 weeks starting in December 2017.

“Close to You” appears in the fourth-season finale of Emily in Paris, the Lily Collins-starring Netflix series. The full season premiered Sept. 12.

Trending on Billboard

The song earned 21.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 3,000 downloads in September, according to Luminate. It peaked at No. 49 on the June 22-dated Billboard Hot 100 and ranks at No. 90 on the most recently published, Oct. 19-dated chart.

Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain,” which appears in the debut season of fellow Netflix series Nobody Wants This, places at No. 2 on Top TV Songs. It racked up 16.4 million streams and sold 2,000 in September.

The track, from her album Anti, is heard in the third episode of the series, which stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. The single hit No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 2017.

The song is one of three from Nobody Wants This on the 10-position Top TV Songs chart, joined by Frank Sinatra’s “Theme From New York, New York” (No. 8; 3.4 million streams, 1,000 sold) and HAIM’s “Now I’m In It” (No. 10; 515,000 streams).

Netflix continues its domination of Top TV Songs’ top three with Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” at No. 3 after playing in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The song, a No. 2 Hot 100 hit in 1987, drew 8.1 million streams and sold 2,000 in September.

The classic also reaches Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart dated Oct. 19 (with older songs eligible to make Billboard’s multimetric song charts if ranking in the top half and with meaningful reasons for their resurgences). It enters at No. 16 and finds its way onto Rock Digital Song Sales at No. 14 and Alternative Streaming Songs at No. 23.

Milli Vanilli’s “Blame It on the Rain,” also featured in Monsters, likewise hits Top TV Songs, at No. 6 (3.4 million streams, 2,000 sold).

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity from Oct. 7-13. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

“Maps,” from Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2003 album Fever to Tell, peaked at No. 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2004. Its TikTok resurgence has pushed the song to new heights on chart-reporting music streaming services; the song racked up 1.9 million official U.S. streams in the week ending Oct. 10, up 23%, according to Luminate.

Trending on Billboard

The tune remains driven by a pair of trends on TikTok. One is a dance, while the other features creators using a filter to remove their facial features, only to have said features float back onto their face, sometimes in the wrong spot. A sped-up version of “Maps” has contributed to the song’s success on TikTok as well.

Alphaville’s “Forever Young,” which reigned on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 dated Oct. 5, rebounds 3-2 on the latest list, followed by a debut in John Mackk’s “Pose for Me,” featuring Natalie Nunn, which bows at No. 3.

“Pose for Me” was originally released in March, but a remix dropped on Sept. 6 that has driven the lion’s share of the activity since. With its eponymous command, the song has spurred a variety of pose-related dance moves on TikTok, generally centered on Nunn’s verse that continues, “Baddies, pose for me/ A– fat, slim thick, no tummy.”

“Pose for Me” marks the first appearance on a Billboard chart for both Mackk and Nunn. The song earned 736,000 streams in the week ending Oct. 10.

Gracie Abrams’ “I Love You, I’m Sorry” isn’t new to the TikTok Billboard Top 50, rising as high as No. 34 in September. But the Oct. 19 ranking finds it reaching new heights, re-entering the chart at No. 4. That’s concurrent with a return to Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart; it re-entered at No. 49 on the Oct. 12 list and vaults to a new peak of No. 23 on the latest ranking, thanks to 11.5 million streams, up 41%.

Its resurgence is partially tied to a new version of the song; Abrams played a live take of the song for Vevo Extended Play, uploading it to her YouTube on Oct. 2. Recent TikTok uploads again zero in on Abrams’ “lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me” lyric, with the majority relating in some way to relationships past and present.

KSI’s “Thick of It,” which features Trippie Redd, debuts at No. 6 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, concurrent with the song’s debut at No. 84 on the Hot 100. Some say all publicity is good publicity, and in the case of “Thick of It,” many of the top-performing TikTok uploads reference the negative reviews the song has received.

Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” bows at No. 7, albeit a remix of the song that was featured in the trailer for the film Wrath of Man. Its usage on TikTok in the latest tracking week revolves around uploads showcasing the devastation of Hurricane Milton in the U.S. (and previously that of Hurricane Helene).

It’s Cash’s second top 10 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 in 2024; “The Chicken in Black” peaked at No. 6 in May.

The final top 10 debut of the week belong’s to Akon, whose “Akon’s Beautiful Day” starts at No. 8. It’s a new song from the veteran singer-songwriter, released on Oct. 4 after being teased on TikTok in the weeks leading up. Many of the top uploads are from Akon himself, along with other usages.

@akon Wow, thank you for all the amazing videos you’re creating to ‘Akon’s Beautiful Day’! Can’t wait to share the official release with the world on October 4th. Let’s keep the gratitude flowing! ♬ Akon’s Beautiful Day – Akon

Liam Payne, who segued from One Direction star to successful soloist, died Wednesday (Oct. 16) at age 31. According to police, Payne died after falling from a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
After forming in 2010 on the U.K. version of The X Factor, One Direction — Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik (who left the group in 2015), Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson — became one of the most prominent forces on the Billboard charts in the 2010s, with Payne subsequently forging his own chart-topping solo career.

One Direction boasts four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: Up All Night and Take Me Home, both in 2012; Midnight Memories (2013); and FOUR (2014). Made in the A.M., the most recent album by the group, which went on hiatus in 2016, reached No. 2 in 2015.

Trending on Billboard

The act tallied six top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “What Makes You Beautiful” (No. 4, 2012); “Live While We’re Young” (No. 3, 2012); “Best Song Ever” (No. 2, 2013); “Story of My Life” (No. 6, 2013); “Drag Me Down” (No. 3, 2015); and “Perfect” (No. 10, 2015).

One Direction crowned Billboard’s 2014 year-end Top Artists chart. The group also placed at No. 5 for 2015, No. 8 for 2013 and No. 10 for 2012. The act has drawn 15.4 billion in radio audience for its songs and 11.8 billion on-demand U.S. song streams, according to Luminate. It has sold 30.3 million song downloads and 8.3 million albums in the U.S.

According to Billboard Boxscore, One Direction grossed $583.6 million on tour and sold 7.1 million tickets. Its Where We Are Tour finished atop the 2014 year-end Top Tours chart, with a gross of $290.2 million and 3.4 million in ticket sales.

Payne quickly translated One Direction’s massive and loyal fanbase support to solo stardom. His debut entry on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, “Strip That Down,” featuring Quavo, reigned for two weeks in October 2017.

Notably, after One Direction tallied four Pop Airplay top 10s, reaching a No. 3 best with “What Makes You Beautiful,” Payne became the group’s third member, in short order, to hit No. 1 — directly supplanting Niall Horan’s “Slow Hands”; Zayn first led solo with “Pillowtalk” in May 2016. Styles has scored four solo leaders on the list (in 2020-22).

“Strip That Down” also hit No. 10 on the Hot 100.

Payne added four more Pop Airplay entries as a soloist: “Get Low,” with Zedd (No. 23, 2017); “Bedroom Floor” (No. 35, 2017); “For You (Fifty Shades Freed),” with Rita Ora (No. 37, 2018); and “Familiar,” with J Balvin (No. 25, 2018).

Payne’s debut solo album, LP1, topped Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart in December 2019.

As a soloist, Payne garnered 3 billion in radio audience for his songs and 897 million on-demand U.S. song streams. His solo catalog also includes 125,000 song download sales in the U.S.

The track reigns via 5.9 million audience impressions among reporting stations in the week ending Oct. 10, according to Luminate.

The song is the second Regional Mexican Airplay champ for Intocable in 2024, after “Ojalá Estuvieras Aquí” led for a week in March. The band, which formed in Zapata, Texas, in the early 1990s, earned dual No. 1s in two previous years: “El Poder de Tus Manos” and “Suena” in 2002 and “Dame un Beso” in 2007.

Meanwhile, Intocable takes independent label Good Music to its seventh Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1, all recorded by Intocable.

The song hits No. 1 amid the band’s 30 Aniversario tour, which launched July 20 in Hermosillo, Mexico, with sold out-shows across Los Angeles, Houston, San Antonio and Phoenix. It’s set to wrap Dec. 7 in Monterrey, Mexico.

“Mi Castigo” is one of 16 songs on Intocable’s LP Modus Operandi, which is up for best norteño album at the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, to be held Nov. 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

On Top Album Sales, Cardinals is the highest charting non-soundtrack compilation of 2024.

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.
