American Music Consumers Preferably Purchase Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem' Over the Top 10 Highest-Selling Albums as a Bundle
Lady Gaga's Album Mayhem Creates A Stir
Who would've thought Lady Gaga's latest album would be making waves like this? Her fresh release, Mayhem, has taken the music world by storm and landed at the top spot on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, dazzling many with its impressive sales figure.
Mayhem Breaks Records with 136,000 Copies Sold
You guessed it! Mayhem debuted at number one on the Top Album Sales chart with a whopping 136,000 copies sold - a noteworthy accomplishment in an era where purchasing physical copies or digital downloads seem to take a back seat to streaming. Notably, this opening sales figure ranks among the largest of 2025.
Gaga Outclasses Competition
Not only does Mayhem lead the pack, but it also dominates the remaining contenders. The competition doesn't come close. The album outsells the top 10 combined next best-selling albums, including big names such as Blackpink's Jennie, Jason Isbell, Spiritbox, and TobyMac.
Jennie's Ruby Struggles to Compare
Jennie of Blackpink's Ruby is the closest competitor for Mayhem this week. Released as her first solo project, Ruby lands at number 2 on the Top Album Sales chart with 26,500 copies sold. Impressive, but it's just a sliver of what Gaga snagged. Truth be told, Mayhem outsold Ruby more than five times over.
More than just the number of copies sold, the success of Mayhem expands when factoring in streaming and track-equivalent album units. The album's overall first-week performance amounts to a staggering 219,000 equivalent units, making Mayhem one of the biggest overall debuts of 2025.
Gaga Ascends to the Top Again
With Mayhem's splash, Lady Gaga bags another number 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, now counting seven chart-topping albums to her name. The superstar has now sent a dozen different projects into the top 10, and she has placed a staggering 17 albums on the ranking - from soundtracks to collaborative efforts to solo releases.
