Harry Styles Strengthens Billboard 200 Lead with ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’ for Second Week
Harry Styles’ latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., has secured its position at the top of the Billboard 200 chart for a second consecutive week, according to data released for the week ending March 19. The album, which debuted at No. 1 the previous week, has garnered 99,000 equivalent album units in the United States, as reported by Luminate. This figure represents a significant decline of 77% from its initial opening week total of 430,000 units.
Historic Chart Performance
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. is notable for being the first album to achieve two consecutive weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl on October 18 and 25, 2025. The album’s performance highlights its popularity, despite the steep drop in unit sales.
In addition to Styles’ success, the latest Billboard 200 chart also sees new entries from Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds with Mutiny After Midnight and P1Harmony with UNIQUE, both making their debut in the top 10.
Understanding the Billboard 200 Metrics
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each equivalent album unit is calculated as one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from the album. The complete chart for the week dated March 28, 2026, will be available on Billboard’s website on March 24.
Breakdown of Album Units
Of the 99,000 equivalent album units for Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., streaming accounted for 74,000 units, which reflects a 47% decrease and translates to approximately 75.10 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. The album also ranked No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week. Album sales contributed 24,500 units, a steep drop of 92%, resulting in a fall from No. 1 to No. 3 on the Top Album Sales chart. Track equivalent album units accounted for 500, down 33%.
Recent Chart Dynamics
The current Billboard 200 has seen a variety of artists vying for the top position. I’m the Problem by Morgan Wallen has risen from No. 3 to No. 2, earning 74,000 equivalent album units, a slight decrease of 3%. Johnny Blue Skies (formerly known as Sturgill Simpson) & the Dark Clouds’ Mutiny After Midnight has debuted at No. 3 with 59,000 equivalent album units, all from physical album sales. This marks the artist’s best week in terms of units earned and album sales, following his previous top 10 project, A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, which peaked at No. 3 in 2016.
Physical Album Sales and Chart Trends
Mutiny After Midnight is significant as it is the first album exclusively available in physical formats to reach the top 10 in nearly three years. The last such album was Taylor Swift’s Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, which debuted at No. 3 in May 2023, selling 75,000 copies in its first week.
The first-week sales of Mutiny After Midnight were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants and a cassette edition sold exclusively through the artist’s webstore. The album’s CD version is widely available, but no streaming or digital download release date has been announced.

P1Harmony has achieved its highest-charting album with UNIQUE, debuting at No. 4 with 58,000 equivalent album units. This includes 56,000 in album sales, marking the group’s best sales week and a No. 2 debut on the Top Album Sales chart. The album’s first-week sales were enhanced by its availability in 24 CD variants and five vinyl variants, which included collectible items.
Following P1Harmony, Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS has dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 with 57,000 units, while Don Toliver’s OCTANE has fallen from No. 5 to No. 6 with 56,000 units.
