The soundtrack blocks All Time Low's 'Future Hearts' from the chart's top spot after rising from last week's No. 2 with 111,000 equivalent units.

AceShowbiz - With "Furious 7" still staying strong at No. 1 at the Box Office, its soundtrack album has just landed atop Billboard 200. After spending last week at No. 2, the compilation set jumps to this week's top slot with 111,000 equivalent units, thanks in large part to its hit single, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again", which sold around 464,000 downloads in the tracking week ending on April 12.

"Furious 7" is the fourth soundtrack to have topped the all-genre albums chart in the past 12 months. It follows the soundtracks of "Empire", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Frozen (2013)". The latter ruled the list for 13 non-consecutive weeks between January 18 to May 17, 2014.

Next on this week's Billboard 200 is All Time Low who becomes the highest-charting newcomer as their "Future Hearts" arrives at No. 2 with 80,000 including 75,000 pure album sales. The band logs their best sales week yet as the number beats the 63,000 start of their 2009 effort "Nothing Personal".

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack rises six rungs to No. 3 with 47,000. At No. 4, Maroon 5's "V" jumps from last week's No. 11 with 44,000. Taylor Swift's "1989" is having its fifth week at No. 5 on the list. It's also the record's 24th consecutive week inside the top 5.

Behind the country-turned-pop singer's latest album is Sam Smith's "In the Lonely Hour" that also manages to keep its position steady at No. 6 with 43,000. Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" slips three rungs to No. 7 with 41,000 while Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" soars from No. 14 to No. 8 with 40,000.

Also returning to the top 10 are Ed Sheeran's "X" and Meghan Trainor's "Title" which climb three rungs to No. 9 and No. 10 with 39,000 and 34,000, respectively.
