On this week\u2019s Billboard 200, Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s Thank U, Next<\/em><\/a> claimed Number One for the second straight week<\/a>, while a decade-old Drake<\/a> mixtape debuted in the Top Five.<\/p>\n

Grande\u2019s latest LP sold 151,000 total albums in its second week at Number One, with the bulk of that total, 124,000 copies, from streaming equivalent albums (SEAs). Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a> that Grande is the first female solo artist to spend two consecutive weeks at Number One since Taylor Swift accomplished it with Reputation<\/em> back in December 2017.<\/p>\n

Only one other new<\/em> album \u2013 Florida Georgia Line\u2019s Can\u2019t Say I Ain\u2019t Country<\/em> at Number Four \u2013 opened in the Top 10, but Drake\u2019s 2009 mixtape So Far Gone<\/em> made its charts<\/a> debut at Number Five after the rapper unleashed the collection to streaming services<\/a> to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his first release.<\/p>\n

Originally distributed for free in 2009, So Far Gone<\/em> sold 45,000 total copies \u2013 38,000 SEAs and 7,000 traditional copies \u2013 in its first official week of release. The mixtape also marked Drake\u2019s 10th Top 10 album, Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A pair of soundtracks for Academy Awards-nominated films, Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> and A Star Is Born<\/em>, placed at Numbers Two and Three, respectively.<\/p>\n

The back half of the upper tier were Top 10 hip-hop fixtures: A Boogie Wit da Hoodie\u2019s\u00a0Hoodie SZN\u00a0<\/em>at Number Six, Post Malone\u2019s\u00a0Beerbongs & Bentleys<\/em> at Number Seven, Travis Scott\u2019s\u00a0Astroworld\u00a0<\/em>at Number Eight, 21 Savage\u2019s\u00a0I Am > I Was\u00a0<\/em>at Number Nine and Meek Mill\u2019s\u00a0Championships<\/em> at Number 10.<\/p>\n

Two new releases \u2013 Offset\u2019s Father of 4<\/em> and Gary Clark Jr.\u2019s This Land<\/em> \u2013 will aim to usurp Grande and the soundtracks from the top of next week\u2019s Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
