## Back on top, again
Ella Langley's Dandelion climbs two spots to No. 1 on the Sept. 19 Billboard 200, its third nonconsecutive week at the summit.
## A very small No. 1
The album earned 67,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Sept. 10, down less than 1%. That's the smallest No. 1 total since SZA's SOS won a week with 52,000 in May 2025.
## It never left the top five
Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the April 25, 2026 chart, held the crown for two weeks, and has not fallen out of the top five since.
## Streams carry it, sales spike
Streaming made up 57,000 of the 67,000 units, from 60.21 million on-demand plays. Pure album sales jumped 43% to 9,000, pushing it 21-11 on Top Album Sales.
## Two ex-champions right behind
Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love moves 4-2 with 64,000 units, and Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem rises 5-3 with 60,000.
## ADÉLA arrives at No. 4
The 22-year-old Slovakian singer's debut album PRIMA opens with 56,000 units, 31,000 of them physical and digital sales, enough for No. 1 on Top Album Sales.
## Variants built that debut
PRIMA shipped in six vinyl versions, four CDs, three download editions and a cassette, several of them signed. A Dream Academy castoff turned Capitol signing now has a top-five album.
## Beyoncé's B'Day comes back
A 20th anniversary reissue returns the 2006 album to the chart at No. 8, its first appearance since 2008, with 38,000 units, up 385%.
## The rest of the ten
Noah Kahan's The Great Divide is No. 5, Ariana Grande's petal jumps 15-6 on a deluxe edition, Rod Wave's week-old No. 1 drops 57% to No. 7, and Drake and Olivia Dean close it out.
## Key takeaway

Dandelion is winning on staying power, not big weeks: 67,000 units was enough to retake No. 1 because the chart's top tier is soft right now.
