Since its release in November, “30” has had the equivalent of 1.8 million sales in the United States, including 448 million streams and nearly 1.5 million copies sold as complete albums.

Michael Bublé’s “Christmas” is No. 2, Taylor Swift’s “Red (Taylor’s Version)” holds at No. 3 and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour” is No. 4.

Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” rises seven spots to No. 5. Now in its 51st week on the chart, “Dangerous” had the longest run at No. 1 in 2021, with 10 weeks at the top, and remained in the Top 10 every week except on last week’s chart, when it dipped to No. 12.

Also on this week’s album chart, Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” is No. 6 and the soundtrack to the new Disney animated film “Encanto” is No. 7.
