Olivia Rodrigo's "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" has returned to the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 for its fourth nonconsecutive week. The album has remained a strong contender, consistently staying within the top five for its 21 weeks on the chart.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" experienced a remarkable resurgence, jumping 13-2 on the Billboard 200. This marks its highest ranking in over four decades, driven by Halloween-themed streams and the release of new physical editions, including vinyl variants. The album achieved its largest vinyl sales week since 1991.
Several new artists also made their mark on the chart. ILLIT secured its first top 10 album with "BREAK EVEN" at No. 6. BigXthaPlug landed his third top 10 with "Better Over Time" at No. 7, while Queens of the Stone Age achieved their fifth top 10 entry with "Perfecth" debuting at No. 10.
