Tate McRae Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With ‘So Close To What'
Tate McRae scores her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as her third full-length studio set, So Close To What, debuts atop the list dated March 8. It arrives with 177,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 27, according to Luminate — marking the biggest debut week, by units, for a studio album by a woman in five months. It's the second top 10-charting effort for the singer-songwriter, who previously visited the region with the No. 4-peaking Think Later in December 2023. The album generated a trio of charted songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including the No. 3-peaking 'Greedy.'

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new March 8, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on March 4.

Of So Close To What's 177,000 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 105,000 (equaling 137.30 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs; McRae's biggest streaming week ever, and it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 71,000 (her best sales week ever, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000. With So Close To What's launch of 177,000 equivalent album units, the set tallies the biggest debut week for a studio album by a woman since Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet bowed at No. 1 with 362,000 units on the Sept. 7, 2024-dated chart. So Close To What's streaming activity was led by the tracks 'Sports Car,' 'Revolving Door,' 'It's OK I'm OK' and 'Dear God,' which collectively comprise a little more than a third of the album's total streams for the week. So Close To What was released across an array of permutations and variants. It was issued as a standard 11-song digital download album, a 13-song physical set (on CD, cassette and vinyl), a 15-song digital download and streaming edition, a 16-song digital download and streaming set, and an 18-song digital download sold exclusively in McRae's webstore. Each variation of the album beyond the 11-song set contained the core 11 songs found on the standard edition, as well as additional tracks (which varied depending on the version). The album's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across four download variants (three widely available, and one exclusive to the artist's webstore), three CD variants (including one signed), seven vinyl variants (including two signed editions) and a cassette. McRae ushered in the release of the new album with an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, along with interviews with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, iHeartRadio and Allure, among other outlets. The performer's Miss Possessive Tour kicks off on March 18 in Mexico City and has dates scheduled through Nov. 8 in Inglewood, Calif. McRae will play more than 80 dates in over 20 countries on three continents. As for the rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 chart, it's a quiet week, as McRae's set is the lone new arrival in the region. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake's $ome $exy $ongs 4 U falls to No. 2 in its second week, earning 119,000 equivalent album units (down 52%). The next five titles on the Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s: Kendrick Lamar's GNX holds at No. 3 (106,000 units; down 22%); SZA's SOS is a non-mover at No. 4 (82,000; down 13%); Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet slips 2-5 (76,000; down 51%); Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos falls 5-6 (63,000; down 6%); and The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow drops 6-7 (50,000; down 14%).
