It’s been almost a month since Billie Eilish dropped her sophomore album, and this record is still dominating the charts. Happier Than Ever returned to no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the third week in a row, after debuting at that same spot following its release.
Happier Than Ever earned 60,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its third week on the chart. If it returns to the top spot again, it will become Eilish’s longest-running no. 1 album. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? also spent three non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200.
Happier Than Ever is the first album by a female artist since Taylor Swift’s Folklore to spend its first three consecutive weeks at no. 1. Most recently, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200, but only two of them were consecutive.
When it comes to the rest of the Billboard 200, Doja Cat was very close to stealing the no. 1 spot from Eilish with Planet Her and finished second with 59,000 equivalent album units earned. Former no. 1 albums Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour, The Kid LAROI’s F*ck Love, and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album rounded up the top five.
