Sleep Token claims first No 1 album with 'Even in Arcadia'
Sleep Token achieves its first No 1 on the Billboard 200 with 'Even in Arcadia', debuting with 127,000 equivalent album units.
The English rock band's major-label debut also tops Top Album Sales with 73,500 units and Top Streaming Albums with 68.89 million streams—the largest streaming week ever for a hard rock album.
Vinyl sales reached 47,000, setting a record for the genre. Even in Arcadia marks the biggest week for any hard rock album in two years, following Metallica's 72 Seasons in 2023. This milestone comes just two weeks after Ghost's 'Skeletá' also debuted at No 1, marking the first time in over a decade that two hard rock albums have topped the chart in less than a month.
