Tracy Chapman’s Debut Album Hits Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart After Vinyl Reissue


Tracy Chapman's 1988 debut album comes charging back onto Billboard’s album charts, following its vinyl reissue.

The Billboard 200 chart-topper and Grammy Award-winning effort had been out-of-print on vinyl in the United States since at least the early 1990s. The new vinyl reissue was prepared for release by Chapman and the album’s original producer, David Kershenbaum and sourced from an analogue master. 8 (nearly 8,000), Sabrina Carpenter’s former leader Short n’ Sweet slips 6-9 (a little over 7,500; down 16%) and Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX falls 5-10 (about 7,500; down 19%).
