Rock band Paramore nabs its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 this week, beating out Brad Paisley, who debuts at No. 2. The former’s self-titled set starts with 106,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while Paisley’s Wheelhouselaunches with 100,000.
For Paramore, it’s the trio’s first album since 2009’s Brand New Eyes, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 with a 175,000 start. The new album’s lead single, “Now,” slipped off the Alternative Songs chart this week, after peaking at No. 13 in March.
Paramore is the second chart-topper for its label, Fueled by Ramen. The company earlier hit the top with Fall Out Boy’s Infinity on High on Feb. 24, 2007.
