"Sound & Color," the second album by the band, sold 91,000
albums, 27,000 songs and was streamed 3.6 million times,
totaling 96,000 units according to figures from Nielsen
SoundScan.
The album's success comes after the band was one of the
standouts from the annual Coachella 3-day music festival in
Southern California earlier this month.
The soundtrack to Universal Pictures' April blockbuster "Furious
7" held its spot at No. 2, selling 62,000 units, while rapper
Yelawolf's new album "Love Story" debuted at No. 3 with 58,000
units.
The Billboard 200 chart tallies album sales, song sales (10
songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams
equal one album).
No other new entries cracked into the top ten of the Billboard
200 chart this week, and last week's chart-topper, Shawn Mendes'
"Handwritten," dropped to No. 17.
On the Digital Songs charts, which measures online download
sales, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again," the
tribute to late actor Paul Walker on the "Furious 7" soundtrack,
held steady at No. 1 with 316,000 downloads sold last week.
