The latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated October 14) has arrived, so let’s run down what projects find themselves in the top 10 this week.
Génesis peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 this summer, and as proof of the project’s staying power, it remains in the top 10 here in October.
Scarlet has a major debut week, entering the chart at No. 2. It took a significant fall in its second frame, though, tumbling to No. 9.
There’s no end to the frenzy surrounding Swift. It’s been just about a year since Midnights was released, and yet here it is, still solidly in the top 10 in 2023.
Utopia is still faring well on the charts, which should be a good indicator that Scott’s Circus Maximus tour will get off to a hot start with its first concert in just a couple days.
While a special deluxe edition of SOS appears to be on the way, the base project is doing just fine without an addendum as it maintains the No. 6 spot it also held last week.
Bryan came through with a surprise EP recently, but it’s his recently released self-titled album that’s dominating the charts, with the former No. 1 living at No. 5 this week.
Sheeran has this week’s highest chart debut with his new album. It’s his seventh top-10 album on the Billboard 200, and in fact, all of his albums have debuted in the top 5.
Guts had the silver medal last week, but when you’re talking about the Billboard 200 chart, bronze is still pretty great, which is where Rodrigo sits this week.
For its third week on the chart, Wave ceded the No. 1 spot but still managed to hang onto No. 1 with Nostalgia.
Wallen has been perhaps the single biggest artist of 2023 in terms of chart performance: One Thing At A Time is No. 1 this week (after placing at No. 3 last week) for a 16th total week on top.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
This year, artists like Taylor Swift, SZA, and Morgan Wallen have been frequent occupiers of the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, but there’s always someone waiting to claim the honor for themselves. In September, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts debuted at No. 1, and Zach Bryan’s self-titled album dethroned Travis Scott’s Utopia. And for the last two weeks (and counting), Rod Wave has owned the top spot.
It has long been a built-in game for artists to gun for the Billboard 200 throne, and it’s just as much a weekly spectator sport for fans. The publication’s FAQ section explains, “Almost all weekly charts update each Tuesday morning (while, during weeks with Monday holidays, charts update on Wednesdays). If you don’t see a weekly chart updated by those times, please clear your browser cache and try again.”
Billboard also laid out its methodology for determining the country’s best album per week. “The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the US based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.”

Rod Wave pulled up on Nick and Eddie for Rap Life Radio on Apple Music 1 and talked about his fifth studio album, Nostalgia. In conversation, Rod Wave detailed the album as therapy.
“The music just therapy, bro. I just went through a lot of real life stuff,” Wave said. “A lot of stuff that I’ve just been going through on this journey, period, made me just appreciate the journey. It’s not the destination. It’s not where you’re going. It’s the time that you’re having while you’re doing it. I remember just doing little small shows with four, 500 people like, “Damn, I can’t wait til I’m in arenas,” and, “Damn, dog. I remember when I was like …” you know what I’m saying? Instead of just living in that moment with the people who was around me at the time. Because none of them people around me no more.
“My life is totally different…it’s just life, bro. So now I just want to appreciate the people who is around me, because two, three years from now, you never know, you know what I’m saying? Just going through it. I didn’t have to meditate or nothing. Just being aware of your surroundings, bro, and understanding what’s going on right in front of you.”
Rod Wave is eyeing another No. 1 debut with Nostalgia. According to chart rumors and updates, Wave is expected to bring in 130,000-140,000 copies of his new album, becoming the third-biggest rap debut of the year.
Nostalgia’s projected total would also top his personal best, Soulfly, which moved 130,000 in the first week.
