LB album debuts at #8 on Rising Artist Chart

[blinker12]

Well, looks like all that publicity worked and Lindsey's landed himself in the Top 10… on *some* type of Billboard chart.

Edit: At first I thought this was the Billboard 200 album chart but that’s not the case. Others have clarified that it’s a “Rising Artist” chart.

What? Unbelievable. And you promise it's the regular chart and not Adult Contemporary Skyscraper Elevator Music chart?

I highly doubt it charted on Billboard 200 at all.

I thought the Billboard 200 for week of 9/17-9/23 doesn't come out until Tuesday 9/28.

I know he charted in the Top 40 in the UK, which is his highest after LBCM.

Well, looks like all that publicity worked and Lindsey's landed himself his first-ever Top 10 album!

LB debuts tomorrow at #8 on the Billboard 200.

Doesn't mean what it once did in terms of sales, of course, but that's still gotta feel good.

nope, that's not billboard 200 albums list. it's some kind of rising artist chart -

and as already said, he did debut at #25 on the UK chart, which is i believe his highest ever as a solo act -

Hi there,

Lindsey Buckingham charted this week at #37 in the German Album Top 100. This is his first ever solo entry in these charts 🙂.

I guess his new album is taking things to a different level.:shocked::lol:

[On Ice]

The new album is wonderful and up there with Out of the Cradle for consistency and quality. Imagine- Lindsey. Buckingham with hits!:blob2:

well, not delete now when there was other info added - but rename.

The thread title is true. It doesn't say "on the Billboard 200":laugh:

The thread creator should edit their original post, which mentions Billboard 200:thumbsup:

Good news about United Kingdom and Germany in this thread

the thread title is about the album. that #8 is about artist, apparently.

[blinker12]

OK, I edited the original post to make it accurate. The thread title is still showing the original in the main forum however.

[TrueFaith77]

Do you know what it’s ultimate placement was?

[jwd]

For what it's worth, he's #19 in cds and vinyl on Amazon's chart. :)

To close the loop on this, it looks like the album missed the Billboard 200 entirely. The chart for the week of Oct. 2 is out, and I don't see Linds on there.

However, he's at #13 on the Top Album Sales, which tracks pure album sales (not factoring in streaming services), and #37 on Top Rock Albums.

I'm surprised he didn't make the 200 at all; he hit #53 with his Solo Anthology in 2018, which came after the chart started including streaming.
