- Morgan Wallen's "I'm the Problem" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a 14th non-consecutive week, climbing from No. 3 with 80,000 equivalent album units despite being released more than a year ago
- Charli xcx debuts at No. 3 with her eighth album "Music, Fashion, Film," earning 78,000 equivalent album units — her biggest debut by that metric
- Charli xcx becomes the only woman and third act overall with at least two top 10 debuts in 2025, trailing Drake's three concurrent debuts and matching Ateez's two
- Wallen's standalone single "Been By Now," released during his "Still the Problem" stadium tour, is not counted in the album's latest tally
- Olivia Rodrigo holds at No. 2 with "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," while Ella Langley's "Dandelion" and Noah Kahan's "The Great Divide" remain at Nos. 4 and 5
- Michael Jackson's "Thriller" reappears in the top 10 alongside Drake's "Iceman," Wallen's "One Thing at a Time," Olivia Dean's "The Art of Loving," and Kahan's "Stick Season"
Why it matters: Wallen's 14th non-consecutive week at No. 1 on an album released over a year ago underscores his unusual commercial staying power in a streaming era. Charli xcx's 78,000-unit debut is her highest first-week ever and cements her as the only woman with two 2025 top-10 debuts.
