Ella Langley’s Dandelion returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a third nonconsecutive week on top, as the album rises two slots on the Sept. 19-dated chart. The set earned 67,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Sept. 10, according to Luminate, down less than 1% compared to the previous week.
That 67,000-unit sum is the smallest for a No. 1 album in more than a year, since SZA’s SOS returned to No. 1 for a 13th nonconsecutive week on the May 3, 2025, chart with 52,000 units.
Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the April 25, 2026-dated chart, spent its first two weeks atop the list and has never left the top five.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, ADÉLA’s debut full-length studio album, PRIMA, debuts at No. 4; Ariana Grande’s chart-topping petal pushes 15-6 after a new deluxe edition dropped; and Beyoncé’s former No. 1 B’Day re-enters the chart at No. 8 after the release of its 20th anniversary expanded reissue.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 19, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Sept. 15. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of Dandelion’s 67,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 57,000 (down 4%, equaling 60.21 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it holds at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 9,000 (up 43%, it climbs 21-11 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 16%).
Two former No. 1s follow Langley. Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love lifts 4-2 (64,000 equivalent album units, down 4%) and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem rises 5-3 (60,000, down less than 1%).
ADÉLA’s PRIMA premieres at No. 4 with 56,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 31,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 25,000 (equaling 25.94 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 14 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
The 22-year-old Slovakian singer-songwriter gained attention in 2023 when she participated in Dream Academy, the reality competition show that eventually launched KATSEYE. While she was one of the first contestants eliminated from the program, she would drop her debut single “Homewrecked” in 2024, and then “Superscar” soon after. In 2025, she signed to Capitol Records and launched her first EP, The Provocateur. She made her Billboard Hot 100 debut in August with the PRIMA track “Ain’t in LA,” which has scaled to No. 57 as of the Sept. 19-dated chart.
The new album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants (including a signed edition), four CD variants (including two signed editions), three download editions (including two with bonus tracks) and a cassette tape.
Noah Kahan’s chart-topping The Great Divide is up a notch to No. 5 on the latest Billboard 200 (47,000 equivalent album units, down 12%).

Rod Wave’s Don’t Look Down falls to No. 7 after debuting atop the chart a week ago. In its second week, the set earned 42,000 equivalent album units (down 57%).
Beyoncé’s B’Day returns to the Billboard 200 for the first time since 2008, as the set re-enters the chart at No. 8 following its 20th anniversary deluxe reissue. The album was originally released in 2006, debuted at No. 1 and marked the superstar’s second leader.
In the latest tracking week, B’Day earned 38,000 equivalent album units (up 385%). Of that sum, SEA units comprise 22,000 (equaling 22.49 million in on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, it debuts at No. 19 on the nearly three-year-old Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 16,000 (it reenters at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
B’Day was expanded with bonus tracks and reissued on two vinyl variants, two download editions and CD. Among the added cuts is Beyoncé’s latest Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Morning Dew (Donk),” which debuted and peaked at No. 26 in July. The track also hit No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart dated Sept. 12, marking her fourth leader on the list.
Drake’s chart-topping ICEMAN falls a rung to No. 9 on the Billboard 200 (36,000 equivalent album units, down 6%) and Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving retreats a spot to No. 10 (34,000, down 8%).
