RS Charts: AC/DC’s ‘Power Up’ Takes Number One on RS 200
AC/DC’s Power Up debuts at Number One on this week’s IndieLand Top 200 Albums Chart, marking the band’s first time topping the chart. Power Up, which is AC/DC’s seventeenth studio album, saw 124,700 album-equivalent units from November 13th through November 19th, the majority of which came from sales, with 105,800 album sales last week.
Chris Stapleton takes Number Two on this weeks albums chart as his fourth studio album, Starting Over, edges out Future and Lil Uzi Vert’s Pluto x Baby Pluto. While Pluto x Baby Pluto pulled in more than four times as many on-demand audio streams as Starting Over, it only saw 5,100 album sales, a fraction of the 75,800 album sales that Starting Over saw in its first week. That left Pluto x Baby Pluto at Number Three, with 101,400 first-week units. Ariana Grande’s Positions and Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon round out the Top Five with 71,600 units and 51,400 units respectively.

The IndieLand 200 Albums chart tracks the most popular releases of the week in the United States. Entries are ranked by album units, a number that combines digital and physical album sales, digital song sales, and audio streams using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The IndieLand 200 Albums chart is updated daily, and each week IndieLand finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.
