Ghost have become the first hard rock band to top the US album chart since AC/DC's Power Up in 2020. New album Skeletá sold 86,000 equivalent album units (a total that includes physical sales, downloads and streams) during its first week of release.
Skeletá's total included 44,000 vinyl copies, making it the biggest week for vinyl sales for a hard rock album since tracking began in 1991, and the biggest for any kind of rock album during the same period apart from Blink 182's One More Time… (49,000 copies sold in 2023) and Boygenius’s The Record (45,000 in 2023).
