Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, new albums from Social Distortion, Josh Groban, Black Veil Brides and Neil Diamond all debut.<\/p>\n

Billboard\u2019s Top Album Sales<\/a> chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart\u2019s history dates to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200<\/a> albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.<\/p>\n

Noah Kahan\u2019s chart-topping The Great Divide is a non-mover at No. 2 on the latest Top Album Sales chart, while Social Distortion notches its second top 10 and highest-charting project yet with the No. 3 bow of Born to Kill. Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller rises 5-4, BTS\u2019 former leader ARIRANG slips 4-5 and Josh Groban collects his 12th top 10 with the No. 6 debut of Cinematic.<\/p>\n

Kacey Musgraves\u2019 Middle of Nowhere falls 1-7 in its second week, Jackson\u2019s Number Ones is steady at No. 8 and Black Veil Brides pick-up its fourth top 10 with the No. 9 start of VINDICATE. Neil Diamond rounds out the top 10 as he nabs his ninth top 10 with the No. 10 bow of Wild at Heart, which also marks his first visit to the top 10 in more than a decade (since Melody Road debuted and peaked at No. 3 in November 2014).<\/p>\n
