Traditional album sales logged just under 8,000 of the album\u2019s activity for the week.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite the opposite story for Swift whose album was exclusively available only to purchase as either a vinyl LP or download. Swift\u2019s vinyl copies almost instantly sold out, propelling \u201cLover (Live From Paris)\u201d to easily surpass its previous peak of No. 58 on the Billboard 200 chart.<\/p>\n<p>Upon that initial \u2014 and very limited \u2014 drop in February 2023, the \u201cLive From Paris\u201d edition went on to sell for well over $1,000 on second-hand retail shops and webstores.<\/p>\n<p><em>It is the top-selling album of the week and the highest-charting live album on the Billboard 200 in over five years (also the single-largest sales week for a live album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991). Not since Lionel Richie\u2019s 2019 release, \u201cHello From Las Vegas,\u201d has a live album charted this high.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Outside of Swift and Bad Bunny, there are no new releases in the the Top 10 this week: SZA\u2019s \u201cSOS\u201d holds at No. 3, followed by Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cGNX\u201d at No. 4, Lil Baby\u2019s \u201cWham\u201d slips to no. 5 after a week at No. 1 and Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201cShort n\u2019 Sweet\u201d is at No. 6. Billie Eilish\u2019s \u201cHit Me Hard and Soft\u201d keeps at No. 7; Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cOne Thing at a Time\u201d is at No. 9; and Gracie Abrams\u2019 \u201cThe Secret of Us\u201d rounds out the top at No. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Bunny\u2018s \u201cDeb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos\u201d ascends to No. 1 after its first full tracking week, becoming the reggaeton star\u2019s fourth album to hit the peak.
