Ariana Grande’s 2024 album Eternal Sunshine returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for its third total week atop the list, flying 87-1 on the April 12-dated chart, following the set’s deluxe reissue, dubbed Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.

Of Eternal Sunshine’s 137,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending April 3, SEA units comprise 75,000 (up 541%, equaling 98.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it reenters at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), traditional album sales comprise 61,000 (up 5,338%, it reenters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a second total week atop the list) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 4,115%).

Sales of Eternal Sunshine were bolstered by its availability in a variety of permutations released for the Brighter Days Ahead launch. The original Eternal Sunshine album had 13 tracks, and the core Brighter Days Ahead album added six cuts: one extended version of the album-opening “Inro (End of the World)” and five new songs.

Grande’s webstore sold three exclusive variants of the download edition of the album: the 19-track edition, a version with the 19 tracks plus instrumentals of the same cuts, and another version with the 19 tracks and a cappella versions of each cut (all with alternative cover artwork). Grande also released two vinyl variants and six CD editions of the reissue (some signed by the artist), containing the 19 tracks plus the three bonus tracks originally found on the album’s “slightly deluxe” reissues last year.

Playboi Carti’s MUSIC falls to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart after two weeks on top, with 91,000 equivalent album units earned (down 31%). It holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a third week.

Lil Durk's Deep Thoughts debuts at No. 3 with 64,000 equivalent album units earned.

The rest of the top 10 on the Billboard 200 comprises
4. Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (58,000 units)
5. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U (nearly 58,000 units)
6. SZA’s SOS (56,000 units)
7. Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (51,000 units units)
8. Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos (45,000 units)
9. Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM (nearly 45,000 units)
10.   Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time   (almost 45,000 units)

the last 3 albums were very close to each other in sales + the album that was projected to debut at #3 with 70k pure sales had its sale filtered and didn't debut in the top 10.

Nomination yes. Hit Me Hard and Soft deserved Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album wins just like Melodrama.
