The Academy Awards spotlight<\/a> and a late sales surge helped A Star Is Born<\/a><\/em>\u2018s soundtrack reclaim Number One on the Billboard 200, ending Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s two-week reign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following its Best Original Song win for \u201cShallow\u201d<\/a> and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper\u2019s Oscars performance<\/a>, A Star Is Born<\/em> sold 128,000 total copies \u2013 up over 150 percent from the previous week \u2013 to retake the top spot, Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even after the Oscars, Ariana Grande\u2019s Thank U, Next<\/em><\/a> was still forecasted to remain at Number One. However, a late sales surge spurred by Amazon\u2019s $2.99 sale for a digital copy of the soundtrack resulted in A Star Is Born<\/em> overtaking Thank U, Next<\/em> at the finish line. Thank U, Next<\/em> finished the week at Number Two with 116,000 total copies<\/p>\n

As Billboard<\/em> notes, A Star Is Born<\/em> is the first soundtrack for a live-action big-screen film to spend at least four weeks at Number One since the Bad Boys II<\/em> soundtrack did it in 2003.<\/p>\n

Outside the shakeup in the top spot, it was a big week for new releases as five just-released albums entered the Top 10, led by Gunna\u2019s Drip or Drown 2<\/em> at Number Three and 90,000 total copies. Migos\u2019 Offset saw his debut solo album Father of 4<\/em><\/a> enter at Number Four and 80,000 total copies.<\/p>\n

Gary Clark Jr.\u2019s latest This Land<\/em><\/a> debuted at Number Six with 54,000 total copies, tying the guitarist\u2019s Billboard 200 best debut; 2012\u2019s Blak and Blu<\/em> also peaked at Number Six.<\/p>\n

Lil Pump\u2019s Harverd Dropout<\/em> (Number Seven) and Kehlani\u2019s While We Wait<\/em> (Number Nine) also bowed in the Top 10. In the top tier purge, the Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> soundtrack (Number Five), A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie\u2019s Hoodie SZN<\/em> (Number Eight) and Post Malone\u2019s Beerbongs & Bentleys<\/em> (Number 10) held strong, while winter mainstays like Travis Scott\u2019s Astroworld<\/em>, 21 Savage\u2019s I Am > I Was<\/em> and Drake\u2019s Scorpion<\/em> all dropped out.<\/p>\n

Next week, Solange\u2019s surprise<\/a> When I Get Home<\/em>, Weezer\u2019s \u201cBlack Album,\u201d Hozier\u2019s Wasteland, Baby!<\/em><\/a> and 2 Chainz\u2019 Rap or Go to the League<\/em> will all compete for Number One.<\/p>\n
