Billie Eilish Replaces One Of The Biggest Rock Albums Of All Time At No. 1
Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft returns to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock & Alternative Albums ... More chart, swapping spots with Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Billie Eilish performs on stage at The O2 Arena on July 10, 2025 in London, England. (Photo byfor Live Nation) Throughout much of the past year, Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft has ruled several of Billboard's albums charts. The full-length became a new No. 1 for the singer-songwriter when it debuted in mid-2024, and it has largely reigned over some style-specific tallies ever since. Only a handful of titles have been able to interrupt the Grammy-nominated project's winning streak, including one just last week. That project wasn't an exciting brand new launch or a surging recent favorite, but rather a decades-old collection that Americans never seem to tire of. Billie Eilish Replaces Fleetwood Mac at No. 1 Hit Me Hard and Soft returns to No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart this week. Eilish rises from the runner-up spot to the summit, trading places with Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. That full-length, which was released almost half a century ago, found its way back to No. 1 on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed rock and alternative albums in the country just last week. At the moment, it only slips one space to No. 2. Hit Me Hard and Soft Vs. Rumours Eilish has now led the charge on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list with Hit Me Hard and Soft for 44 nonconsecutive frames. The project has spent 61 spans somewhere on the 50-spot tally, with well over half of those appearances at No. 1. Rumours, by comparison, has spent a significantly longer period of time on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, but far fewer frames at No. 1. Last time around, it jumped from fourth place to the summit, earning just its fourth-ever turn in the spotlight. Considering the fact that Rumours has lived on the multi-genre albums tally for more than 400 weeks, it's somewhat surprising that the set has only claimed the top spot for a few moments — and also that it is still competing with some of today's hottest releases. Billie Eilish and Fleetwood Mac Both Rule Both Hit Me Hard and Soft and Rumours lead different Billboard charts this frame. As Eilish conquers the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list, she also sits at No. 1 on the Top Alternative Albums chart, where Hit Me Hard and Soft is unmoved. Rumours, meanwhile, dominates the Top Rock Albums tally once more. The two behemoths can also be found on the Top Album Sales, Top Streaming Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts as well.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Big Week On The American Charts
Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle returns to the Top Streaming Albums chart and climbs four ... More other Billboard rankings, nearing 50 years since release. UNSPECIFIED - CIRCA 1970: Photo of Creedence Clearwater Revival Photo by MichaelChronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival is already one of the longest-running successful albums in American history, and it has been for many years. The compilation is the fifth-longest-running title on the Billboard 200, with more than 750 weeks on the ranking to its credit, and Chronicle adds to that total every time Billboard refreshes its lists. The collection is having another huge week in the United States, as it rises on multiple tallies and even returns to one ranking. In one instance, the compilation — now almost 50 years old — even manages to return to its peak position. Creedence Clearwater Revival Climbs Billboard's ranking of the most consumed EPs and full-lengths specific to the rock genre sees Chronicle step up from No. 5 to No. 3. As it climbs, the compilation matches its previously-set peak on the tally. The singles-packed release first reached that high point in February 2023, years after it first landed on the Top Rock Albums list. Chronicle Rises on Four Billboard Rankings The compilation lifts to No. 5 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, to No. 30 on the Top Album Sales tally, and to No. 31 on the Billboard 200 this week. Chronicle moved about 18,300 equivalent units in the past tracking period, up 12% from the frame prior, according to Luminate. Sales made up about 2,400 copies of that total. While that figure is actually down from the week before, competition is not nearly as fierce on the Top Album Sales list, which allows Creedence Clearwater Revival to grow. Chronicle Also Returns to the Streaming Ranking As Chronicle ascends on the aforementioned four rankings, the compilation also breaks back onto the Top Streaming Albums chart. John Fogerty, who is credited separately alongside Creedence Clearwater Revival in just one instance, reappears at No. 35 on Billboard's 50-spot ranking of the most successful projects on platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify. "Fortunate Son" Rocks Back As Well As Creedence Clearwater Revival finds its way back to the Top Streaming Albums chart, the group also reappears on another streaming list in America. "Fortunate Son" rises to No. 21 on the Rock Streaming Songs tally, earning its milestone seventieth stay on the roster.

Nickelback Hits A New Career High As America Can't Stop Listening
Nickelback's The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 hits new peaks on multiple Billboard charts, surging ... More on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Streaming Albums lists. TORONTO, ONTARIO - SEPTEMBER 08: (L-R) Mike Kroeger, Chad Kroeger, Daniel Adair and Ryan Peake of Nickelback attend the "Hate to Love: Nickelback" premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on September 08, 2023 in Toronto, Ontario. (Photo by Isaiah Trickey/FilmMagic) Nickelback gets teased a lot as a band, as the group's name has become synonymous with a past era in music — but that doesn't mean the rock outfit isn't still hugely successful. The group has produced enough massive rock hits that The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 continues to thrive on the Billboard charts frame after frame. This week, the compilation climbs on every tally on which it appears, and the rockers even reach new peaks on multiple lists at the same time. The Best of Nickelback hits a new lifetime high point on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts this week. It ascends from No. 9 to No. 6 on the former, which tracks the most consumed rock releases in the U.S. The project lands in that position 237 weeks into its tenure on the ranking, which is remarkable, as it's not common for a set to reach new highs after so many years on one list. The compilation is also gaining ground on platforms like Spotify, which fuels its jump into the top 40 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. On that tally, The Best of Nickelback pushes to No. 38, which also marks a new best placement. The collection has only spent nine weeks on Billboard's ranking of the most streamed albums in the U.S., regardless of genre. While Nickelback's compilation currently rises higher than ever before, it still stands as the band's lowest-peaking title on the Top Rock Albums chart. The group has scored four No. 1s, and two additional top fives. The Best of Nickelback does claim the honor of being the Canadian outfit's longest-running win, though, by 100 weeks. The group does score a new career-best placement on the Top Streaming Albums chart this frame, as The Best of Nickelback is the only project from the band to appear on that tally. The Best of Nickelback also returns to its previously-set high on both the Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts at the same time it reaches higher than ever on the previous two rosters. This frame, the collection ascends to Nos. 4 and 7 on those rankings, respectively. The same hit-packed project, which was released in 2013 and features smashes like "How You Remind Me," "Rockstar," and "Someday," nearly reconquers the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, but instead, it holds at No. 2. It also lifts one spot to No. 48 on the Billboard 200, as it approaches 250 weeks on that all-encompassing tally of the most consumed albums of any length, language, or style in the U.S.

Lana Del Rey's Album Is Truly In A League Of Its Own
As she readies her next album, Lana Del Rey's debut full-length just won't quit. Born to Die can still be found on a number of Billboard rankings, not only racking up a huge number of streams every frame, but also continuing to sell well more than a decade after its release. The continued and unending popularity of the full-length can be clearly seen by its performance on one ranking in particular this week. Born to Die climbs from No. 22 to No. 20 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Billboard's list of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in those styles in the United States. As of this frame, Del Rey's classic has now spent 550 weeks on that tally. That's an incredible length of time for any project to manage on any list, and Del Rey stands alone as she hits that figure. Born to Die is the only title on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart this week that has reached 500 weeks. It beats the next longest-running effort by almost 100 frames — and certainly well over a year. Hozier's self-titled release is up to 463 stays somewhere on the genre-specific ranking, and it's also holding on. The projects that are currently present on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart that have managed at least 400 weeks include Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle (434 weeks), Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (428), Journey's Greatest Hits (417), Metallica's self-titled effort (416), Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits (410), and both Tom Petty's Greatest Hits and AC/DC's Back in Black, which are tied with 402 frames apiece. Throughout her career, Del Rey has sent half a dozen releases to the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally. Born to Die is one of only two No. 1s, joining Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. It is far and away her most successful, and in fact, it's the only full-length from the singer-songwriter to manage triple-digit stays. Her Paradise EP, which arrived the same year Born to Die debuted, has thus far only collected 44 frames on the ranking.

The Eagles Soar On The Billboard Charts Once More
For months now, the Eagles have been performing a few concerts at a time at the hottest new venue in Las Vegas, the Sphere. The group is one of only a handful of acts to headline the massive and technologically impressive space, as the band continues its aptly named residency, Eagles: Live in Concert at the Sphere. As that run of shows continues to grow, fans in the United States keep pressing play on the songs and albums that made the outfit so hugely successful — and worthy of a residency in the first place. This week, the Eagles return to multiple Billboard rankings with classics and longtime favorites. The band mounts its momentary comeback with both an album and a song. Usually, with a legacy act, it's one or the other that performs well. There aren't many that can succeed with decades-old tunes and collections, but the Eagles are one of the few that can. The group's sole hit at the moment is "Hotel California," which is widely regarded as not just the most successful tune by the Eagles, but perhaps the group's best as well. That track is a worldwide sensation once more as it returns to the Billboard Global 200. That tally, which was introduced about half a decade ago, ranks the most-consumed songs throughout the world using a methodology that blends sales and streaming activity. This frame, the Eagles smash sits at No. 186 on the tally. It may currently rank fairly low on the 200-spot roster, but "Hotel California" has actually never cracked the upper half of the list in the 122 frames it has spent on the Billboard Global 200. The Eagles' classic has only flown as high as No. 132. Streams and sales of "Hotel California" are helping fuel the Eagles' compilation Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975. Already one of the most successful collections of all time, the title appears on a trio of Billboard rankings this frame. It reenters the Top Rock Albums roster at No. 24, while also rising several spots on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart (No. 30) and the Billboard 200 (No. 139). Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 has spent hundreds of weeks on each of those rankings, though the exact amount of time varies quite a bit from list to list. It's up to 259 frames on the Top Rock Albums chart and is nearing 500 on the Billboard 200. While the project has peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the most competitive albums ranking in America — it only climbed as high as No. 8 on the genre-specific tallies. One might assume the opposite would be true, as competition isn't as tough on style-focused rosters, though those weren't introduced until long after the Eagles released the collection. The Eagles are slated to finish the Las Vegas residency at the Sphere this coming November. The group began the run in September of last year and it has been marketed – rather intensely – as a farewell. Due to what must be incredible demand, multiple shows have been added several times. At some point, though, the band will finally have to end the show and walk away for good.
