Nearly 20 years after their last Number One album, Backstreet Boys are back atop the Billboard 200 with the boy band\u2019s new album DNA<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Backstreet Boys<\/a>\u2018 first Number One LP since 2000\u2019s Black & Blue<\/em> sold 227,000 total copies in its first week of release, a number largely bolstered by a deal that bundled<\/a> a free copy of the album with each ticket purchased for the group\u2019s upcoming tour in support of DNA<\/em>.<\/p>\n

DNA<\/em> marks Backstreet Boys\u2019 third Number One album, following 1999\u2019s Millennium<\/em> and 2000\u2019s Black & Blue<\/em>, and the album gave the quintet their best first-week sales since 2005\u2019s Never Gone<\/em>, Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a>. While the 19-year gap between Number One LPs might seem like a record, Paul McCartney ended a 36-year Number One wait in 2018 with Egypt Station<\/em>.<\/p>\n

DNA<\/em> was the lone new release in the Top 10, although Weezer\u2019s surprise teal-colored self-titled covers album<\/a> made its first appearance in the upper tier by jumping from Number 47 to Number Five; the \u201cTeal Album\u201d release clipped the final eligible day of the previous sales week. In its first full week of availability, the covers LP sold 39,000 total copies.<\/p>\n

The rest of the Top 10 remained largely unchanged as last week\u2019s Number One, Future\u2019s The WIZRD<\/em>, dropped one spot to Number Two, followed by a Boogie Wit da Hoodie\u2019s\u00a0Hoodie SZN<\/em> at Number Three and A Star Is Born<\/em> soundtrack at Number Four.<\/p>\n

Post Malone\u2019s Beerbongs & Bentleys<\/em> led the bottom half of the Top 10 at Number Six. Meek Mill\u2019s Championships<\/em>, the ICE-detained<\/a> 21 Savage\u2019s I Am > I Was<\/em>, Travis Scott\u2019s Astroworld<\/em> and the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em> soundtrack filled the Number Six through 10 slots respectively.<\/p>\n
