Tremonti Scores First Top 10 on Album Sales Chart With ‘The End Will Show Us How’

Rock band Tremonti notches its first top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart as The End Will Show Us How debuts at No. 10 on the chart dated Jan. 25. The project also bows at No. 14 on Top Hard Rock Albums and No. 34 on Independent Albums. Fronted by Mark Tremonti, the band has logged six charting efforts on Top Album Sales, stretching back to 2012’s All I Was.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, Taylor Swift’s reissued Lover: Live From Paris reenters at No. 1, Heidi Montag’s 2010 album Superficial debuts at No. 4 following an outpouring of fan support following the loss of her home in the Pacific Palisades fire, and Ringo Starr logs his first top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart with the No. 7 arrival of his new country set Look Up.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.

Tremonti’s The End Will Show Us How sold nearly 7,000 copies in its first week, landing the band its best sales week since 2018. The album was led by the radio single “Just Too Much,” which climbs 31-26 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated Jan. 25), making it the highest-charting hit ever on the chart for the band. The group has logged seven entries on the radio tally in total.

At No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Taylor Swift’s reissued Lover: Live From Paris reenters atop the list with 202,500 copies sold – largely from vinyl purchases. It’s the 15th No. 1 for Swift on the chart – the most in the chart’s 33-year history.

The Wicked film soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 2 with 12,000 (down 23%) and Chappell Roan’s chart-topping The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess moves 5-3 with 11,000 (up 28%).

Heidi Montag’s 2010 album Superficial surges onto the chart at No. 4 with 11,000 copies sold (up from a negligible sum the previous week). After Montag and husband Spencer Pratt lost their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles, the pair took to social media to encourage fans to purchase the album and stream its songs to help the family rebuild and generate income. The couple are best known for the appearances on reality TV programs, most famously on MTV’s The Hills.

Stray Kids’ former leader HOP falls 3-5 with 10,000 sold (down 24%) and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet slides 4-6 with 9,000 (down 5%).

Ringo Starr lands his first top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart with the No. 7 debut of Look Up, selling 8,000 copies. It also grants The Beatles’ drummer with his second top 40-charting effort (and highest yet) on Top Country Albums.

Rounding out the rest of the latest top 10 are Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, falling 6-8 in its second week with nearly 8,000 (down 3%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, slipping 7-9 with nearly 7,000 (down 5%).
