Rock group Breaking Benjamin scored their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 album chart with their new release, Dark Before Dawn. They’ve had to wait awhile to be chart champs, although certainly not as long as last week’s champ, James Taylor.
The album, which is their first since 2009’s Dear Agony, moved 141,000 total units, with 135,000 of that from actual album sales, reports Billboard. Their previous best sales week came for Dear Agony’s first week, when that album started with 134,000 copies. Their previous high mark on the chart was 2006’s Phobia, which started at No. 2 with 125,000 copies sold.
Tori Kelly’s Unbreakable, her first full-length album, debuted at No. 2 with 75,000 units. The album has been propelled by the hits “Nobody Love” and “Should’ve Been Us.”
Kacey Musgraves’ Pageant Material started at No. 3 with just 60,000 units.
The other debuts on the chart were Leon Bridges’ Coming Home at No. 6 with 42,000 units and Disney’s Teen Beach Movie 2 at No. 10 with 24,000 units. Last week’s No. 1, James Taylor’s Before This World, fell to No. 5.
