From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beatles ' greatest hits album
1 was the best-selling album of 2001.
Celebrity by
NSYNC had the biggest sales week of 2001, selling 1.8 million copies in its first week.
The
Billboard 200 , published in the
Billboard magazine, is a weekly chart that ranks the highest-selling
albums in the United States. The data is compiled by
Nielsen SoundScan based on each album's weekly physical and
digital sales.
[1] In 2001, 27 albums reached the top of the chart.
The first number-one album of the year was
1 by English rock band
the Beatles , which reached the top in December 2000 and continued its run until early February 2001 for a total of eight weeks.
Shaggy achieved his first number-one album with
Hot Shot . It topped the chart for a total of six weeks and sold more than 5.5 million copies within the year.
[2]
Staind 's
Break the Cycle topped the charts for three consecutive weeks in June and sold more than 4.2 million copies in 2001.
[2]
NSYNC achieved the best-selling album within the first week, selling more than 1.8 million copies with
Celebrity , 620,000 more than above earlier in the year. Furthermore, it was the tenth album to sell more than a million units in its first week sakes, since
Nielsen SoundScan started collecting data in 1991.
[3] Furthermore, it was the third best-selling album of the year and was certified 5-times platinum by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
[4] Following her
death , Aaliyah's reached the top for one week in September with her
eponymous studio album.
[5]
Jay-Z earned his fourth number-one album in the US with
The Blueprint . In its third week atop the chart, the record sold about 173,000 copies, the lowest for any number-one in the year.
Ja Rule eventually achieved his second and most recent chart-topping album with
Pain Is Love .,
[a] dethroning Jay-Z in mid-October and topping the chart for two consecutive weeks. The last album to top the chart in 2001 was
Weathered by American rock band
Creed . It peaked at number one for four consecutive weeks in 2001 and continued for four weeks in January 2002. The album, released in November, was the eighth best-selling record of the year, selling about 3.5 million copies; it is certified 6-times platinum by the RIAA.
[2]
[6] Unusually, the year's best-selling record,
Hybrid Theory by
Linkin Park , was not able to top the Billboard 200.
[7] Instead the Beatles' 1 was crowned the most successful album of the year.
[8]
Number-ones
Shaggy's (pictured in 2018 )
Hot Shot was the second-best-selling album in the United States, selling more than 5.5 million copies in 2001.
[2]
Creed 's
Weathered topped the charts for four weeks and sold more than 3.5 million copies.
