The remastered version of the "Sgt. Pepper" 1967 album sold
more than 75,000 units for the week to take the No. 3 spot on
the Billboard 200. It was the highest Billboard 200 ranking for
the British rock quartet in some 16 years, when its greatest
hits album "1" spent several weeks at or near the top of the
chart, Billboard said.
Still, The Beatles were not big enough to steal the thunder of
Kentucky rapper Bryson Tiller, 24, whose "True to Self" sold
106,000 units in its first week and took the No. 1 spot.
Kendrick Lamar's "Damn." held onto second place with another
84,000 units sold in its seventh week of release.
The Billboard 200 album chart tallies units from album sales,
song sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity
(1,500 streams equal one album).
On the digital songs chart, which measures online single sales,
Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" featuring Justin
Bieber held onto the top spot for a fourth week with another
148,0000 copies sold.
