Harry Styles’ latest musical offering, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.," has maintained its powerful grip on the Billboard 200 chart, securing the coveted No. 1 position for a second consecutive week. The album, which debuted atop the prestigious list, continues to resonate with audiences, earning 99,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week ending March 19. This achievement marks a significant moment, as it’s the first album to hold the top spot for its initial two weeks since Taylor Swift’s "The Life of a Showgirl" accomplished the feat in October 2025.
While the current week’s performance represents a 77% decrease from its monumental debut of 430,000 units, this dip is a natural progression for a highly anticipated release. The sustained popularity of "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally." underscores Styles’ enduring appeal and his ability to connect with a broad spectrum of music consumers. The album’s success is a testament to its multifaceted appeal, blending genres and themes that have captivated listeners.
A Glimpse into the Latest Billboard 200 Top 10
The March 28, 2026-dated Billboard 200 chart, which ranks the most popular albums in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, also welcomes two notable debuts into its upper echelons. Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds’ "Mutiny After Midnight" and P1Harmony’s "UNIQUE" have both made significant entries, signaling fresh talent and established artists making their mark.
The Billboard 200’s methodology, compiled by Luminate, considers album sales, track equivalent albums (TEAs), and streaming equivalent albums (SEAs). Each equivalent album unit is derived from one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams from an album’s songs. The full chart, reflecting these metrics, is set to be published on Billboard’s website on March 24.

Deconstructing "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally." Unit Breakdown
Delving deeper into the 99,000 equivalent album units for "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.," streaming equivalent album (SEA) units constitute the largest portion, accounting for 74,000. This figure, while down 47% from the previous week, still represents a substantial 75.10 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks. This dominance in streaming solidifies the album’s No. 1 position on the Top Streaming Albums chart for the second consecutive week.
Album sales contributed 24,500 units, a notable decrease of 92% from its initial surge, causing it to fall to No. 3 on the Top Album Sales chart. Track equivalent album (TEA) units made up 500, showing a 33% decline. The shift in unit composition is a common trend for albums after their initial release week, as physical sales and immediate streaming interest tend to stabilize.
A Rare Feat: Consecutive Weeks at No. 1
The achievement of holding the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks is a rarity in today’s music landscape. "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally." joins an exclusive club, with "The Life of a Showgirl" by Taylor Swift being the most recent to achieve this feat on the charts dated October 18 and 25, 2025. Following Swift’s success, the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 has seen a rapid turnover, with seven No. 1 debuts and two instances of former chart-toppers reclaiming the top spot for a single week. These latter instances include Morgan Wallen’s "I’m the Problem" on the January 17 chart and Bad Bunny’s "DeBà TiRAR MáS FOToS" on the February 28 chart. This pattern highlights the dynamic nature of album popularity and the diverse range of artists capturing audience attention.
Notable Movements and Debuts in the Top 10
Beyond Styles’ continued reign, other artists are making significant waves. Morgan Wallen’s "I’m the Problem" climbs one position to No. 2, earning 74,000 equivalent album units, a modest 3% decrease from the prior week. This sustained performance demonstrates the enduring popularity of Wallen’s work.
Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds’ "Mutiny After Midnight" Makes a Striking Debut
Johnny Blue Skies (formerly known by his given name, Sturgill Simpson) and his band, the Dark Clouds, have made a powerful entry onto the Billboard 200 at No. 3 with their album "Mutiny After Midnight." The album garnered 59,000 equivalent album units, an impressive figure driven entirely by physical album sales. This debut represents the most successful week to date for the artist in terms of units earned and album sales. "Mutiny After Midnight" marks Simpson’s second top 10-charting project on the Billboard 200, following the success of "A Sailor’s Guide to Earth," which peaked at No. 3 in 2016.
A significant aspect of "Mutiny After Midnight’s" chart performance is its exclusive availability on physical formats: CD, vinyl, and cassette. No release date has been announced for digital download or streaming. This deliberate choice to forgo digital distribution for its initial release makes it the first album to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 in nearly three years solely on physical media.
The last album to achieve this distinction was Taylor Swift’s Record Store Day-exclusive vinyl release, "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions." That set, available only at independent record stores, debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the May 6, 2023-dated chart, selling 75,000 copies in its first week, representing its entire production run.
The strong first-week sales for "Mutiny After Midnight" were amplified by a strategic release across multiple physical variants. The album was offered in six distinct vinyl editions, including a standard black LP, an indie store-exclusive red color variant, and four additional limited editions available through the artist’s webstore. The cassette edition was also exclusive to the artist’s webstore, while the CD was more widely distributed.
It’s worth noting the rarity of physical-only albums achieving top 10 status in the current era. The last widely available physical-only album to break into the top 10 of the Billboard 200 was Garth Brooks’ five-CD box set, "The Anthology: Part I, The First Five Years." This collection debuted at No. 4 on the December 9, 2017 chart and spent three nonconsecutive weeks within the top 10. The success of "Mutiny After Midnight" highlights a resurgence of interest in physical music formats, particularly among dedicated fan bases willing to invest in tangible products.
P1Harmony’s "UNIQUE" Achieves New Chart Heights
South Korean boy band P1Harmony has also made a significant impact on the Billboard 200 with their latest album, "UNIQUE." The album debuts at No. 4, marking the group’s highest-charting album to date and their second top 10 appearance on the chart. "UNIQUE" earned 58,000 equivalent album units in its first week, representing the group’s best sales week by units earned.
Of this total, album sales comprised a substantial 56,000 units, propelling the album to No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart and setting a new personal best for the act’s sales figures. Streaming equivalent album (SEA) units contributed 2,000, translating to 2.22 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs, while track equivalent album (TEA) units were negligible.
P1Harmony previously reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 in 2025 with their album "EX," which debuted and peaked at No. 9. The success of "UNIQUE" indicates a growing global fanbase and increasing recognition for the group’s musical output.
The first-week sales for "UNIQUE" were significantly boosted by an extensive range of physical offerings. The album was made available in 24 different CD variants and five vinyl variants. These editions were designed to appeal to collectors, featuring collectible items such as photocards, stickers, and posters, with some items being randomized to encourage multiple purchases. This strategy is a common practice within the K-Pop industry, aimed at maximizing sales and fan engagement.
Other Notable Albums in the Top 10
Following the strong debuts, a pair of former chart-toppers are holding their ground. Bad Bunny’s "DeBà TiRAR MáS FOToS" moves down one spot to No. 5 with 57,000 equivalent album units, a 14% decrease. Don Toliver’s "OCTANE" descends from No. 5 to No. 6, accumulating 56,000 units, a 7% decline.
Olivia Dean’s "The Art of Loving" dips from No. 6 to No. 7, earning 55,000 units, a 6% decrease. Bruno Mars’ chart-topping album "The Romantic" experiences a more significant drop, moving from No. 2 to No. 8 with 54,000 units, a 32% decrease.
Tate McRae’s "So Close to What," a former leader on the chart, makes a substantial surge, climbing from No. 20 to No. 9 with 43,000 equivalent album units, an impressive 61% increase. This resurgence is attributed to the recent release of the album’s deluxe edition, which became available on vinyl and CD, re-engaging her fanbase.
Rounding out the top 10 is the soundtrack for the popular animated film "KPop Demon Hunters." The soundtrack climbs from No. 11 to No. 10, earning 38,000 equivalent album units, a 9% increase. This marks the soundtrack’s first gain in six weeks and follows the film’s significant success at the Academy Awards on March 15, where it secured wins for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for "Golden." This exemplifies how cinematic success can translate into sustained popularity for associated music releases.
