Better Broken sold 10,500 copies in the United States in the tracking week ending Sept. 25, according to Luminate.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.

As for the rest of the top 10 on the latest Top Album Sales chart, Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? opens at No. 1, while Nine Inch Nails’ soundtrack to TRON: Ares enters at No. 2 and Buckingham Nicks’ long out-of-print (but now reissued) self-titled set from 1973 debuts at No. 3. Stray Kids’ former No. 1 KARMA is steady at No. 4, Twenty One Pilots’ chart-topping Breach falls 1-5 in its second week, Sabrina Carpenter’s former leader Man’s Best Friend dips 5-6, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 7, Sleep Token’s chart-topping Even in Arcadia reenters at No. 9 after new vinyl variants were released for the set, and CORTIS’ Color Outside the Lines falls 3-10 in its second week.
