Charli XCX Scores First No. 1 on Billboard Top Album Sales Chart with 'Music, Fashion, Film'

Charli XCX has landed her first No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with Music, Fashion, Film, which opened with 57,000 copies sold in the US in the week ending July 30, according to Luminate — her best sales week ever. Billboard
The album, announced on June 1 and released on July 24, debuts atop the Aug. 8-dated chart. It is her sixth top 10 on the Top Album Sales tally, a chart that ranks titles purely by traditional sales — physical copies and digital downloads — rather than streaming activity. Previously, Charli XCX peaked at No. 2 twice: with BRAT in 2024 and Crash in 2022.
The 57,000 first-week figure combined physical and digital download purchases across a wide retail footprint. The album was issued in 15 vinyl variants (including three signed editions), four CD variants (including two signed editions), four digital download editions (one of which carried three additional B-sides), and one cassette. It also topped the Vinyl Albums and Indie Store Album Sales charts, and landed at No. 2 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts. The release was preceded by the Billboard Hot 100-charting single "Rock Music."
On the Billboard 200 — the broader album chart that folds in streaming equivalent album units, the measure that converts plays into album sales — Music, Fashion, Film entered at No. 3 with 78,000 equivalent units. Billboard It marks her fourth top 10 on that chart.
The record's reach extends beyond the US. It debuted at No. 1 on the UK's Official Albums Chart dated July 31, becoming Charli XCX's fourth UK chart-topping album. Billboard
Several other acts entered the Top Album Sales top 10 on the same Aug. 8 chart. The Strokes bowed at No. 2 with Reality Awaits, their sixth top 10 on the tally. Shania Twain started at No. 6 with Little Miss Twain, her seventh. Waterparks arrived at No. 7 with JINX, their fourth. Tyler, The Creator's former No. 1 Don't Tap the Glass re-entered at No. 9 following a one-year anniversary vinyl pressing.
For Charli XCX, the chart position closes a gap that had been narrowing across three albums. Two No. 2 peaks on the sales chart had made the ceiling visible; Music, Fashion, Film broke through it with a sales total that outpaced her previous best. The vinyl-heavy release strategy — 15 pressings in a single week — aligned with a format that has grown steadily across genre lines, and the signed editions gave the direct-to-fan channel a clear lift.
