The Billboard Chart 200 Album Chart estimates its ranking by multi-metric consumption, which includes album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums. An update will be posted on Billboard’s website by August 8.

Arcade Fire previously topped the Billboard 200 charts with Reflektor in 2013 and The Suburbs in 2010. Everything Now is Arcade Fire’s third number-one album.

Furthermore, Arcade Fire is now the second band with three number-one albums, following Linkin Park with six.

Everything Now‘s sales chart of 94,000 traditional album sales was aided by a concert ticket and album bundle sale promotion with the upcoming tour.
