Lil Uzi Vert blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with Eternal Atake, marking his second No. 1 and the biggest streaming week for an album since 2018.

The set was released on March 6 via Generation Now/Atlantic, and starts with 288,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 12, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It’s the rapper’s first release in nearly two-and-a-half years, since his first leader, Luv Is Rage 2, bowed at No. 1 on the Sept. 17, 2017-dated chart with 135,000 units.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new March 21-dated chart, where Eternal Atake bows at No. 1, will be posted in full on Billboard's website on March 17.

Of Eternal Atake’s first-week units, 278,000 are in SEA units, a little under 9,000 are in album sales and 2,000 are in TEA units. That 278,000 SEA-unit figure translates to a whopping 400 million on-demand streams for the set’s 18 tracks during the tracking week. That’s the fourth-largest streaming week ever for an album, and the largest week for any album since Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V started with 433 million clicks (Oct. 13, 2018-dated chart). (Note: since January, streams on the Billboard 200 now include both on-demand audio and video streams. Before that, streams were audio only. That said, Eternal Atake would still have the biggest streaming week since Tha Carter V’s arrival, even if only audio streams were counted.)

The streaming high-water mark among all albums is owned by Drake’s Scorpion, which opened with 746 million streams in its first week (July 14, 2018).

As Eternal Atake starts with a total of 288,000 units, it also logs the second-biggest week of 2020 for any album. It trails behind the opening week of BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7, which launched with 422,000 units (powered by a robust album sales figure of 347,000).
