Three albums debut in the top five this week, led by Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres at No. 2, earning the highest album sales total for the week. It is the Brit band’s eighth straight top three studio album and surpasses the No. 3 peak of their last release, 2019’s Everyday Life.
Young Thug’s Punk debuts at No. 3 with the second highest on-demand stream total for the week. It is the follow-up to his No. 1 So Much Fun in August 2019. He also reached No. 2 in April 2021 with the collaboration album Slime Language 2.

51 years after its initial release, the Beatles final studio album Let It Be re-enters at No. 8 thanks to new deluxe versions, picking up the second-highest album sales total for the week. It matches the No. 8 debut of the Let It Be…Naked album, released in 2003.
The Adele catalogue gains continue this week as 25 jumps 28-11, 21 moves 39-16 and 19 bullets 191-48.
