"Zayn debuts straight in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with his debut solo effort, Mind of Mine. The set, released on March 25 through RCA Records, earned 157,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 31 in the U.S. Of that sum, it sold 112,000 in pure album sales.

Further, Zayn is the first male U.K. artist to reach No. 1 with their first album since George Michael climbed to the top of the list in 1988 with Faith. (Faith didn’t debut at No. 1 -- it started at No. 41, and rose to the top in its ninth week on the chart.)

Zayn is also the first U.K. act (solo or otherwise) to debut at No. 1 with their first album since his former group, One Direction, launched atop the list in 2012 with Up All Night(on the March 31, 2012-dated chart).

Speaking of One Direction, Zayn is now one of the relative few solo artists to have achieved a No. 1 as part of a group and also as a soloist. He stands alongside artists like Justin Timberlake (who topped the list with *NSYNC and on his own), Gwen Stefani (with No Doubt) and Beyonce (with Destiny’s Child).

 

#2: K. Michellle (59K units; 54K sold)

#3: Rihanna (50K units)

#4: Bieber (48K units)

#5: Adele (47K units)

#6: twenty one pilots (41K units)

#7: Young Thug (38K units; 22K sold)

#8: Chris Stapleton (31K units)

#9: Asking Alexandria (30K units, 28K sold)

#10: The Weeknd (just under 30K units)

YAAAAAAAAY congratulations  That's great, not to mention notching a #1 for his debut album  I'm starting to really think that he could be in this for the long haul and that this isn't just a solo stint
