Advertising signThe Top Albums Sales chart ranks the best-selling albums of the week based on traditional album sales only. The history of the chart dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Advertising sign began charting electronically tracked track count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Net album sales was the sole metric used by the Billboard 200 album chart through the list dated December 6, 2014, after which that chart changed to a methodology that combines album sales with track-equivalent album units and album-equivalent units flow. The new chart dated June 29, 2024 will be posted in full on Advertising signon the user's website on June 25.

NAYEON's Sales TO were largely fueled by CD sales (34,500 out of a total of 43,000). Vinyl was at 7,500, while digital download album purchases were at 1,000. The album's first week sales were boosted by its availability on 15 CD variants and two vinyl variants, all of which featured branded paper merchandise.
Taylor Swift's former boss Department of Tormented Poets climbs 4-2 with 33,000 sales. Sales of the album increased by 42% in the tracking week, mainly thanks to two new CD variants of the set sent to customers. The two CDs, which were sold exclusively on Swift's online store, were soon available for pre-order in early June. Both CDs contain the 16 songs from the standard album and an audio bonus track (one featuring “Down Bad” and the other “Guilty as Sin?”).
$uicideboy$ mark their highest charting effort on Top album Sales as New global depression debuts at No. 3 with nearly 20,000 sold. Sales of the set were aided by its availability on six vinyl variants, which sold a total of 16,000 – the hip-hop duo's best week ever on vinyl. It also debuts at No.1 on Vinyl Albums – marking the act's first chart leader.
Don Toliver records his biggest sales ever, as his new studio album Hardstone Psycho reaches No. 4 with 19,500 sold – all from digital download album sales. The album's first week sales were boosted by the mid-week release of a deluxe digital download album, sold exclusively through Toliver's online store, for $5, which contained four additional bonus tracks exclusive to this download edition and features by Lil Uzi Vert and Yeat.

The top of the map Twilight The soundtrack returns to the top album sales at No. 7 with 13,000 sold (up from a negligible amount the previous week), after the set was reissued on vinyl in three different color variants.
