Ed Sheeran's 'No. 6' Spends Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

After debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart a week ago, Ed Sheeran’s star-studded No. 6 Collaborations Project rules the list for a second week, making it the first album to spend its first two weeks at No. 1 in four months. The last title to do so was Juice WRLD’s Death Race for Love, which opened at No. 1 on the March 23-dated list, and held on for its second, and so-far final, frame on March 30.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé, who voices the character Nala in Disney’s new The Lion King film, sees her King-inspired album The Lion King: The Gift debut at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 chart with 54,000 equivalent album units earned (with 11,000 of that sum in album sales).  


At No. 3 on the new Billboard 200, Billie Eilish’s former leader When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? falls one slot with 51,000 equivalent album units (down 16%). Lil Nas X’s 7 is steady at No. 4 with 43,000 units (down 13%), the multi-artist Revenge of the Dreamers III project dips 3-5 with 41,000 units (down 24%), Chris Brown’s former No. 1 Indigo slides 5-6 with 37,000 units (down 13%) and Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You falls 6-7 with 33,000 units (down 1%).

Closing out the top 10 is Nas’ The Lost Tapes 2, which bows at No. 10 with 23,000 equivalent album units earned (with 12,000 of that sum in album sales). The archival compilation project, featuring unreleased tracks recorded for earlier Nas albums, marks the artist’s 13th top 10 effort. Nas was last in the top 10 with 2018’s Nasir, which debuted and peaked at No. 5.
