Selena Gomez is a woman on top…

The 27-year-old Mexican American singer/actress has earned her third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as Rare debuts at the summit. 

The set, which was released January 10 via Interscope Records, starts with 112,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending January 16, according to Nielsen Music.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). 

In total, Rare’s start of 112,000 units was powered by nearly 56,000 in SEA units (equating to 79.3 million on-demand streams for album’s tracks), just under 53,000 in album sales, and a little over 3,000 in TEA units. (All numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand.)

Notably, unlike many releases, Rare’s bow was not enhanced by album sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer. However, it did get an assist from sales of many merchandise/album bundles sold via Gomez’s official website, as well as a deluxe CD with bonus tracks available only at Target.

Rare is Gomez’s sixth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 in total — the entirety of her studio efforts (both as a proper solo artist, and those with former backing band The Scene).

Here’s a rundown of Gomez’s top 10s: Rare(No. 1), Revival(in 2015, No. 1), Stars Dance(2013, No. 1); and then her three projects with The Scene, When the Sun Goes Down(2011, No. 3), A Year Without Rain(2010, No. 4) and Kiss and Tell(2009, No. 9). The only Gomez album to miss the top 10 is the greatest hits package For You, which peaked at No. 24 in 2014.Rarewas led by the songs “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look at Her Now.” The former became her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, vaulting 15-1 on the list dated November 9, 2019.
