Here Are The 50 Best Selling Albums of 2023

It’s that time of the year when we look at the best selling albums of 2023 in terms of overall consumption.

Country star Morgan Wallen’s third album, One Thing at a Time leads the Top 50 YTD Albums chart with more than 5m total streams since its March release. SZA’s SOS (TDE/RCA) and Taylor Swift’s Midnights (Republic) follow at #2 and #3, respectively.

Interestingly, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift occupy 4 of the top 5 spots on the chart. Moreover, Taylor has two more albums in the top 10 — Lover at #6 and Speak Now (Taylor’s version) at #8. Travis Scott and Metro Boomin are the only two rap albums in the top 10 this year.

There are a couple of old but highly consumed releases from the hip hop world here as well — Eminem’s Curtain Call at #38 and Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid m.A.A.d City at #43. Take a look at the full chart below (via HDD).
