Thania Garcia NewJeans’s latest release, the six-song EP “Get Up,” becomes the Korean all-female group’s first No. 1 and first-ever entry on the albums chart with the equivalent of 126,500 albums sold in the United States.
With 500 more units, the soundtrack to Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” blockbuster would’ve logged a tie for the top slot. “Barbie the Album” — fueled by the success of singles including Nicki Minaj’s and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World,” featuring original “Barbie Girl”-makers Aqua, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” — opened with 126,000 units as the biggest opening week (in units sold) for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack in more than four years, according to a report by Billboard.
The last soundtrack to score a higher tally was Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born,” which landed at No. 1 with 129,000 units in 2019.
It also earned 93.81 million streams — the highest opening numbers for a soundtrack in over five years, since “Black Panther” launched with 139 million in 2018. “Barbie” mania also translated in vinyl sales as the album opened with the biggest numbers for a theatrical film soundtrack (33,000) since Luminate, the data company behind Billboard’s charts, began electronically tracking these numbers in 1991.
