H A R D L O V E is the band’s highest-charting album on the Billboard 200, surpassing the No. 3 debut and peak of its 2014 album Rivers in the Wasteland. That set bowed with the group’s best sales week: 49,000.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Aug. 6-dated chart (where Views is No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, July 26.
