Ariana Grande earns third No.1 album on Billboard 200 with Sweetener

[Miaou 39,013]

Ariana Grande earns her third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as her fourth full-length studio effort, Sweetener, enters atop the tally. The set, which was released on Aug. 17 via Republic Records, starts with 231,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 23, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 127,000 are from traditional album sales.

‘Sweetener’ Surpasses ‘Dangerous’: With Sweetener’s start of 231,000 units, it beats the bow of Grande’s last album, Dangerous Woman. The latter entered the chart at No. 2 with 175,000 units.

Second Biggest Week of 2018 for a Woman: Sweetener secures the second-largest week for an album by a woman in 2018. Only Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy launched with a larger figure: 255,000 units (No. 1, April 21-dated chart).

Largest Streaming Week Ever for a Pop Album by a Woman: Sweetener’s songs collected 126.7 million on-demand audio streams in its debut frame -- the largest streaming week for a pop album by a woman.

Well deserved! It might have some ****** songs but nevertheless, that album is a BOP.

This right here is just another prove that charts don't matter. 

Spoiler

I still want ASIB OST and LG6 to do well.

You can thank Drake for that travesty

Those numbers are actually really good for Ariana. They might not be stellar in terms of her contemporaries, but the Carters debuted with like half of that so I think we can call the album a commercial success so far.

Because Dangerous Woman absolutely shits on Sweetener musically/sonically while having a lower peak on BB 200.

[RudraCNG 14,411]

I can't believe Dangerous Woman didn't make it.

[Rabbit Heart 616]

Won't change the fact that 60% of that album sucks.
