As well as landing in the Top 10 of the UK charts, twenty one pilots are celebrating a huge Number One album with Breach on the Billboard 200.
The duo – Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun – have gone straight in at the top for the first time since the colossal success of Blurryface in 2015, with following albums Trench hitting #2, and Scaled And Icy and Clancy both going in at #3. In its first week Breach sold 200,000 equivalent album units, with 169,000 of those being ‘traditional’ album sales.
What’s more, it’s the biggest week for a rock album in the U.S. in six years – the last record to have this kind of Billboard chart success was Tool’s Fear Inoculum.
Taking to X to share his excitement about this latest milestone, Tyler says, “welp. Breach went #1. Why did this make me so happy I teared up a little? NOT A LOT. a little. 10 years ago I didn’t even really understand what a #1 album meant, but then ever since Blurryface I kind of really wanted it again, but never got it.
“Then I stopped wanting it and just wrote an album for you. for us. and that’s when you guys showed up bigger than ever. you did this. buying vinyl, or a box set, or going to listening events, or streaming and telling other people. thank you so much.
“This is the most proud I’ve ever been to be a part of this band. if you only knew how many industry people are confused right now. wait, what? yeah. we did.”
