Tha Carter VI was issued in a variety of configurations, including a standard digital download edition, a physical set with bonus tracks (on two CD variants [one signed] and three vinyl variants [one signed], and a deluxe CD boxed set with a T-shirt), an expanded digital download album and a streaming edition. During the set's first week of release, two further iterations of the album were issued as download and streaming editions — one with a remix of 'Banned from NO,' with Nicki Minaj, and another with that Minaj remix along with 'Momma Don't Worry,' with Future and Lil Baby.

She also got a high-profile collab in 2024 thanks to her guest turn on the remix of Charli xcx's Brat track 'Von Dutch.'

It previously peaked at No. 28 in 2005.

In the tracking week ending June 12, Three Cheers earned nearly 44,000 equivalent album units (up 809%), with album sales comprising 37,000 (up 2,987% — it reenters at a new peak of No. 2 on Top Album Sales; it's the group's best sales week since Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys debuted with 112,000 in 2010), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 8.88 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album's 44,000 units earned mark the band's best week by that metric since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by units in December 2014.
For its new deluxe edition, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was issued across nine vinyl variants, and a CD, digital download and streaming edition — all with refreshed audio and bonus tracks. All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes.

The set's first-week units and album sales mark career-high frames for the group.
NEVER ENOUGH — Turnstile's fourth full-length studio album — was preceded by its title track, which reached No. 11 on the Alternative Airplay chart in June. The group made its Billboard chart debut 10 years ago, when the album Nonstop Feeling reached No. 22 on the now-discontinued Heatseekers Albums chart in January 2015.
NEVER ENOUGH was issued across more than a dozen vinyl variants and as a standard CD, cassette, digital download and streaming album, all containing the same tracklist.
Rounding out the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 is Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping GNX, which falls 7-10 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned (down 7%).
