Top Album Sales

This article is about the music chart in the United States. For Top Albums Sales in Japan, see Billboard Japan ยง Albums.

The Top Album Sales is a music chart released weekly by Billboard magazine listing each week's top-selling albums in the United States. The chart has been published since December 13, 2014, although the magazine also retrospectively recognizes the Billboard 200 charts from May 25, 1991, through December 6, 2014, as part of the history of the Top Album Sales listing. Sales figures for the chart are tabulated by Billboard with electronically monitored piece count information from Nielsen SoundScan, now Luminate.

The first number-one album actually published under the Top Album Sales banner was 1989 by Taylor Swift. However, since Billboard also recognizes the history of the Billboard 200 chart since 1991 as part of this chart, the magazine recognizes the first chart-topper as Time, Love & Tenderness by Michael Bolton.

As of the Billboard issue dated March 21, 2026, the current best-selling record in the United States is Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, the fourth solo studio album by Harry Styles. This is the English singer's fourth record to appear at the top of this chart, the last being his 2022 album Harry's House.
