Brian F. Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Cousin debuts at No. 65 on the Billboard 200 this week. The Billboard 200 measures sales and streaming. In terms of pure sales, Cousin was No. 5 for the week. I do not know the precise sales total, but it was between 9,632 and 15,484. Triangulating it a little more precisely suggests that it sold about 12,000 units. In vinyl sales, Cousin comes in at No. 7. There are a lot of variables that make it hard to do comparisons across recent releases. Star Wars was made available as a free download. Cruel Country had a digital-only release, followed by a limited Record Store Day CD release, followed by a physical release. The Yankee Hotel Foxtrot anniversary was available in numerous formats, some of which were quite expensive. With these variables in mind, note that Cruel Country had first-week sales of 7,000 and the YHF sets had first-week sales of 13,000. "Evicted" holds at No. 8 on the Adult Album Alternative chart (determined by radio airplay at "Triple-A" stations) in its eighth week on that chart. Wilco has hit number one on the Triple-A chart once, with "You Never Know." It is their only song to top any Billboard chart. "Evicted" also drops from a peak of No. 46 to No. 47 on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart in its third week on that chart. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian F. Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 As is typical in a rock album's second week of release, Cousin drops from No. 5 to No. 51 on Top Album Sales this week. The album also drops all the way off the Billboard 200 after spending a single week at No. 65. "Evicted," on the other hand, makes a big jump on the Triple-A chart from No. 8 to No. 3 (behind the Black Pumas' "More Than a Love Song" and the Revivalists' "Good Old Days"). "Evicted" holds at No. 47 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 "Evicted" slips a notch on the latest Triple-A chart in its tenth week, from its heretofore peak of No. 3 to No. 4. On the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, the song rebounds from No. 47 to a new peak of No. 42 in its fifth week. Ironically, because there are many more rock and alternative radio stations than Triple-A stations, being No. 42 at rock and alternative radio likely translates into more spins and a larger audience than being No. 4 at Triple-A radio. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, if so, do they all just ending up repeating "Paul is dead"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 "Evicted" holds at No. 4 in its eleventh week on the Triple-A chart behind the abovementioned Black Pumas and Revivalists songs as well as U2's "Atomic City," and one spot ahead of the Foo Fighters' "Under You." "Evicted" moves up from No. 42 to a new peak of No. 36 in its sixth week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart. ("Under You" is No. 1 on that chart.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 It''s not looking good for Wilco to score its second chart-topper, as "Evicted" drops from No. 4 to No. 7 in its twelfth week on the Billboard Adult Album Alternative (Triple-A) chart. "Evicted" also falls from its heretofore peak of No. 36 to No. 39 in its seventh week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian F. Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 As spelled out earlier in the thread, Triple-A is short for Adult Album Alternative. For more, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_album_alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
