With 173,000 units earned, Problem lands the largest total for an album in its seventh week on the chart since Adele's 25 earned 194,000 in its seventh week nearly a decade ago (on the Jan. 23, 2016-dated chart).

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.

The new July 12, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on July 8. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of I'm the Problem's 173,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 3, SEA units comprise 164,000 (down 3%, equaling 215 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a seventh week), album sales comprise 7,500 (up 2% — it falls 7-11 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,500 (up 6%). Lorde achieves her fourth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as her latest studio project, Virgin, debuts at No. 2. All four of her top 10s have also debuted inside the top five (as Virgin follows Solar Power, with a No. 5 debut and peak, 2021; Melodrama, No. 1, 2017, and Pure Heroine, No. 3, 2013). Virgin bows with 71,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 42,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 29,000 (equaling 37.07 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it debuts at No. 6 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Virgin's first-week sales were aided by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including two signed editions), a standard CD and a digital download. All versions contained the same tracklist. Lorde's vinyl sales added up to 31,000 — her best week ever on vinyl. The album was announced on April 30 and preceded by the Billboard Hot 100-charting track 'What Was That,' which debuted and peaked at No. 36 on the May 10-dated chart (her highest charting song since 2017's 'Green Light' hit No. 19). Lorde's Ultrasound Tour of North America and Europe launches on Sept. 17 in Austin, Texas. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack surges 8-3 on the Billboard 200 in its second week on the chart — earning 62,000 equivalent album units (up 97%). Of that sum, SEA units comprise 56,000 (up 108%, equaling 77.42 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it jumps 10-2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 4,500 (up 31%, it's pushed down 18-22 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,500 (up 24%). The set's haul of 77.42 million streams for its songs is the largest streaming week for a soundtrack in nearly two years, since the Barbie soundtrack claimed 79.32 million on the Aug. 19, 2023-dated chart (its third week on the chart). With KPop Demon Hunters' 8-3 climb on the Billboard 200, it becomes the highest-charting soundtrack of 2025, and the highest-charting soundtrack to an animated film since Encanto spent nine weeks at No. 1 in 2022. (Previously among soundtracks in 2025, Wicked reached a No. 4 high in January, after debuting and peaking at No. 2 in December 2024.) KPop Demon Hunters premiered on June 20 on Netflix alongside its soundtrack. In the tracking week ending June 29, KPop Demon Hunters jumped 6-2 in its second week on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in United States chart. KATSEYE claims its first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the No. 4 debut of its second project, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. The pop group's five-song set opens with 44,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 30,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 14,000 (equaling 21.36 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs; it bows at No. 47 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across nine CD variants and four vinyl variants (one signed), all with the same audio but with packaging variations. All contained collectible paper ephemera, some randomized. It was also issued as a standard digital download album for purchase. BEAUTIFUL CHAOS was announced on May 7 and the album's release was preceded by a pair of charting entries on the Hot 100: 'Gnarly' (No. 90) and 'Gabriela' (No. 94). Karol G's Tropicoqueta falls 3-5 on the Billboard 200 in its second week (40,000 equivalent album units earned; down 29%), Wallen's chart-topping One Thing at a Time is pushed down 5-6 (nearly 40,000; up 7%) and SZA's former No. 1 SOS descends 4-7 (39,000; down 17%). Playboi Carti's former leader MUSIC jumps 28-8 with 35,000 (up 83%), following its release on vinyl (pressed on two variants). The album sold 16,500 copies in the tracking week (up 12,593%), largely from vinyl purchases. Sabrina Carpenter's chart-topping Short n' Sweet slides 6-9 on the Billboard 200 with 33,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%). Russ closes out the top 10 with the No. 10 debut of his latest album, W!LD, entering at No. 10 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned. The set marks his fourth top 10-charted effort. Of the new album's 32,000 units, album sales comprise 25,000 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.15 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. W!LD was announced on March 18 and preceded by the radio-promoted track 'Crazy,' which has reached the top 30 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. The album's first-week sales were aided by its availability across three vinyl variants, three CD variants and three cassette variants (some signed), as well as a standard digital download. All contained the same tracklist, and all of the physical editions were exclusively sold via Russ' official webstore. There was also an expanded edition of the download album, sold via the webstore, that includes narration from the artist.

Fans Say Black Sabbath's Final Show Ended 'Coldly,' But What Really Happened?
Fans Say Black Sabbath's Final Show Ended 'Coldly,' But What Really Happened? originally appeared on Parade. Black Sabbath played its final show on Saturday, but it wasn't a happy ending for some fans. Those who tuned in to the July 5 livestream watched as , Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler played together one final time. In front of a sold-out Villa Park in their hometown of Birmingham, England, the heavy metal pioneers performed their songs 'War Pigs,' 'N.I.B,' 'Iron Man,' and 'Paranoid.' For many, this was the epic farewell that these living legends deserve. But some fans were left feeling a bit 'cold' with how the night ended. After Ozzy finished singing the last bit of 'Paranoid,' the singer known as the 'Prince of Darkness' said goodbye to the crowd. The livestream then showed confetti being shot into the crowd and fireworks exploding over the top of Villa Park. And that was it. Some fans voiced their displeasure that they didn't get to see the four take a final bow together. Some even accused Ward, Iommi and Butler of walking offstage while leaving Ozzy—who performed that night seated in a gothic throne due to his well-documented issues with Parkinson's Disease—all by himself. However, what the livestream didn't show was that Iommi and Butler went over to speak with Ozzy after the song. According to a video shared by Metal Hammer, Tony warmly shook hands and spoke with Ozzy while Butler gave him a cake featuring Ozzy's likeness on the front. Butler then allowed Ozzy to 'soak up the adulation from the crowd,' per Metal Hammer. The Rock Experience With Mike Brunn also said that there was camaraderie between the Black Sabbath brothers that didn't make it to the live stream. The event, dubbed "Back to the Beginning," featured appearances from modern-day metal royalty, who performed throughout the day. The night capped off with Ozzy performing a handful of songs from his solo career before delivering one final performance with the band that helped make him an Say Black Sabbath's Final Show Ended 'Coldly,' But What Really Happened? first appeared on Parade on Jul 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
