DNA the ninth studio album by Backstreet Boys, has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 234,000 album equivalent units moved in its first week, per Billboard. The album was preceded by singles “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” and “Chances,” and “No Place.”
DNA is the group’s tenth top 10 record, and boasts their strongest single sales week since Never Gone moved 291,000 units in July 2005. Their 2000 album Black & Blue spent two weeks at No. 1, and was certified eight-times platinum by the RIAA.
Billboard notes that a concert tickets/album sales redemption offer by the group likely played a significant role in them moving 227,000 as album sales.
Elsewhere in the top five, Future’s Future Hendrxx Presents: The WIZRD dropped to No. 2 and sold 56,000 album equivalent units. A Boogie wit da Hoodie moved 47,000 units of his previously chart-topping Hoodie SZN.
Weezer’s The Teal Album jumped from No. 47 all the way to No. 5 with 39,000 units moved in its first full week of release.
