Rock group Fall Out Boy topped the weekly Billboard 200 album chart for the third time, holding off pop star Taylor Swift’s mega-selling “1989,” Billboard said on Wednesday.
“American Beauty/American Psycho,” the group’s sixth studio album, tallied 218,000 total sales units, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan for the week ended Jan. 25.
The reformulated Billboard 200 considers album sales, song downloads and online streaming to compile an album’s total sales units.
The album sold 192,000 copies, 204,000 individual songs and was streamed nearly 9 million times online. Billboard said it was the second-biggest sales week for a rock album in the past two years.
