GHOST 👻: By The Numbers

Plus: First-Week Sales & Top Spotify Songs This Week

GHOST debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with the single largest sales week of any album in 2022.¹ 

Impera gave the Swedish band their highest chart position and biggest single sales week in both equivalent album units and traditional album sales in the United States, and new chart highs in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, France, Ireland, and Italy. 

It’s the highest-charting Hard Rock Album in the US since AC/DC’s Power Up arrived in 2020 and the biggest Hard Rock Album, in units, since Foo Fighters’ Medicine at Midnight in February 2021. 

An in-depth breakdown of Ghost data follows, plus new first-week numbers from Drug Church, Wolves At The Gate, Set It Off, Angelmaker, HO99OR and more; weekly sales updates on dozens of albums; and the week’s top Hard Rock, Metal, and Punk(ish) songs on Spotify, including new entries from Motionless In White, Rammstein, Fame On Fire, Palisades, and Our Last Night.
