<\/div>\n

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie<\/a> staked his first Number One album as the New York rapper\u2019s Hoodie SZN<\/em> sold 58,000 total copies\u2026 but only 823 traditional copies.<\/p>\n

Hoodie SZN<\/em><\/a> accumulated 83 million streams over the past week, which when converted into streaming equivalent albums (SEAs) allowed a Boogie Wit Da Hoodie to ascend to Number One after two weeks in second place, Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, as the New York Times<\/em> notes<\/a>, less than 1,000 people actually purchased the digital-only album. That makes Hoodie SZN<\/em> the all-time lowest-selling Number One album, breaking the record established one week earlier<\/a> when 21 Savage\u2019 I Am > I Was<\/em> mustered just over 3,000 traditional copies (along with 62,000 SEAs) on its way to the top spot.<\/p>\n

Prior to Billboard and Nielsen\u2019s conversion of streaming totals into album sales, the lowest-selling Number One album belonged to Amos Lee\u2019s Mission Bell<\/em>, which sold 40,000 copies upon its release in February 2001.<\/p>\n

To add more confusion to the Top 10, the Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> soundtrack \u2013 a mainstay since the Queen biopic\u2019s release \u2013 was bumped all the way down to Number 76 and replaced at Number 10 by Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits I II & III: The Platinum Collection<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The reason for the swap: Because The Platinum Collection<\/em> outsold Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> based on pure sales, and because the two albums\u2019 track lists overlap greatest hits, all relevant Queen songs streamed this past week, like \u201cBohemian Rhapsody,\u201d were instead transferred toward the Platinum Collection<\/em>\u2018s total, Billboard<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

Other than the Queen exchange, the Top 10 had very little change from the previous few weeks. 21 Savage\u2019s I Am > I Was<\/em> dropped to Number Two after two weeks in the top spot, with the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em> soundtrack at Number Three (thanks largely to its Number One song<\/a>), Meek Mill\u2019s Championships<\/em> at Number Four, Post Malone\u2019s\u00a0Beerbongs & Bentleys<\/em> at Number Five and Travis Scott\u2019s Astroworld<\/em> at Number Six.<\/p>\n

A Star Is Born<\/em> rose to Number Seven, followed by Drake\u2019s Scorpion<\/em> (Number Eight) and Kodak Black\u2019s Dying to Live<\/em> (Number Nine).<\/p>\n

With no major new releases planned for this week, we\u2019ll find out if another artist can break a Boogie Wit Da Hoodie\u2019s lowest-selling Number One record.<\/p>\n
