The Weeknd officially has the No. 1 album in the United States.
The 34-year-old singer’s sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, debuted at the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of Feb. 15 after earning a whopping 490,500 equivalent album units.
With Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd earns his fifth chart-topping album, his biggest sales week since Billboard began tracking units in 2014, and the biggest week for any album since Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department logged 2.61 million equivalent album units when it debuted at No. 1 in May 2024.
It also bested Travis Scott’s Utopia as the largest for an R&B/hip-hop album since it debuted at No. 1 in Aug. 2023 with 496,000 units.
Hurry Up Tomorrow was released in multiple physical and digital editions, including eight vinyl variations, eight CD variants, a cassette edition, and nine deluxe box sets. A surprise performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards may have also helped boost the album’s sales.
Trailing behind the top spot are Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos at No. 2, followed by SZA’s SOS, and Kendrick Lamar’s GNX.
Albums such as Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess saw bumps to No. 5 and 6, respectively—likely aided by their Grammy appearances.
Rounding out the top 10 were Sabrina Carpenter with Short n’ Sweet at No. 7, Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time at No. 8, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department at No.9, and rising pop singer Gracie Abrams with The Secret of Us.
