AceShowbiz - Tyler, The Creator's "Call Me If You Get Lost" reclaims No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 30). The album soars high from No. 120 to the top of the chart after earning 59,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending April 21, according to Luminate, formerly MRC Data.

The jump takes place following the release of its vinyl LP. Of the number, 51,000 are in traditional album sales. The vinyl edition of the album was sold exclusively through the artist's webstore and sold 49,500 copies. It marks the largest sales week for a hip-hop album on vinyl, or for a solo male album on vinyl, since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991. Meanwhile, SEA units comprise 8,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Back to the chart, the rest of the Top 10 is a bit sleepy as there is no new entry this week. No. 2 is occupied by Morgan Wallen's "Dangerous: The Double Album" with 50,500 equivalent album units. Trailing behind is Lil Durk's "7220" that descends from No. 1 to No. 3 after earning 43,000 units. "Encanto" soundtrack also falls from its position last week, moving down from No. 3 to No. 4 with 40,000 units earned.

Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo's "Sour" is stationary at No. 5 after earning 36,000 equivalent album units. Also staying steady is Drake's "Certified Lover Boy" that sits still at No. 6 with 30,000 units earned. As for Doja Cat's "Planet Her", it jumps up from No. 8 to No. 7 after earning 29,500 units.

The Weeknd's hits compilation "The Highlights" also makes a significant rise this week. It bounces from No. 60 to No. 8 with 27,000 equivalent album units earned. At No. 9 is Gunna's "DS4Ever" that jumps back to the Top 10 with 23,500 equivalent album units.
