Ariana Grande’s highly-anticipated album Eternal Sunshine debuted at No. 1 on several Billboard charts, showcasing the strong interest from the American audience. The album’s opening frame numbers set a new record for Grande as it sold 33,000 copies on the Vinyl Albums chart, beating her previous album Positions which sold 32,000 copies in a one-week tracking period.
This marks Grande’s second leader on the Vinyl Albums chart, with Positions also reaching the top spot previously. Thank U, Next was her first top 10 entry on the list, reaching as high as No. 3 in 2019, followed by K Bye For Now (Swt Live) which peaked at No. 9 two months after Positions. Despite slipping to third place on the Vinyl Albums chart this week due to new releases from Kacey Musgraves and Justin Timberlake, Eternal Sunshine remains at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, moving 100,000 equivalent units.
Kacey Musgraves claimed the No. 1 spot on the Vinyl Albums chart this week with her new album Deeper Well, while Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was secured the runner-up position. Despite missing out on a second week at the top of the vinyl chart, Grande’s Eternal Sunshine continues to dominate the overall albums ranking in the U.S., maintaining its position at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
