Ariana Grande's latest album, 'Eternal Sunshine,' made a significant impact on the music scene by debuting at No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts. The highly-anticipated pop project captured the attention of music enthusiasts across the nation, as reflected in its impressive opening week sales numbers.
'Eternal Sunshine' achieved the remarkable feat of topping the Vinyl Albums chart with 33,000 copies sold in its first week. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy considering the resurgence of vinyl records, a format that was once thought to be obsolete, especially for contemporary artists.
Grande's success with 'Eternal Sunshine' marked a new milestone in her career, surpassing her previous record for one-week vinyl sales set by her album 'Positions,' which sold 32,000 copies in a similar tracking period in 2021.
This latest achievement on the Vinyl Albums chart adds to Grande's impressive track record, with 'Eternal Sunshine' becoming her second album to claim the top spot on the chart, following the success of 'Positions.' Additionally, Grande has secured multiple top 10 placements on the Vinyl Albums chart, with 'Thank U, Next' reaching No. 3 in 2019 and 'K Bye For Now (Swt Live)' peaking at No. 9.
While 'Eternal Sunshine' may have slipped to third place on the Vinyl Albums chart this week, it continues to dominate the most prestigious albums ranking in the U.S., maintaining its position at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album further solidified its success by moving an additional 100,000 equivalent units, securing Grande's stronghold on the top spot.
In a competitive landscape, 'Eternal Sunshine' faced tough competition from new releases by Kacey Musgraves and Justin Timberlake on the Vinyl Albums chart. Musgraves' 'Deeper Well' claimed the No. 1 spot, while Timberlake's 'Everything I Thought It Was' debuted in second place, showcasing the diverse range of musical talent in the industry.
Ariana Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine' continues to shine brightly in the music industry, reaffirming her status as a powerhouse artist with a dedicated fan base and a string of chart-topping albums.
