Thania Garcia Ariana Grande keeps a strong hold over the Billboard 200 with a second week at No. 1 for her latest LP, “Eternal Sunshine,” which came almost within sight of Kacey Musgraves’ new “Deeper Well” album.

Grande extends her run at No. 1 with 100,500 equivalent album units in the United States, and Musgraves debuts at No. 2 with 97,000 equivalent album units earned — her biggest week, by units, to date.

Of Musgraves’ first-week units, traditional album sales comprise 66,000 of that sum thanks to its availability across nine vinyl variants, including eight different-colored versions and limited editions for Amazon, Spotify and Target. “Deeper Well” is also the top-selling vinyl of the year so far (37,000 copies) and the fourth-largest week for a country album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

Also new on the Billboard 200 is Justin Timberlake‘s sixth album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” which enters at No. 4 with 67,000 units earned. “Everything I Thought It Was” debuted with 41,000 traditional album sales and 31.13 million official streams of the set’s songs, as measured by Luminate and reported by Billboard.
