Decades into his career, Alice Cooper is still making noise, and his fans are still listening. Over the years, he’s released music both as a soloist and as the leader of a band that shares his name. Now, that original group is back together for The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which opens inside the top 10 on multiple Billboard charts and brings the rock icon to a new all-time peak.

Alice Cooper’s First Top 10 Vinyl Album

The Revenge of Alice Cooper launches at No. 6 on the Vinyl Albums chart this week. As the set debuts, it becomes Cooper’s first top 10 on the tally. His previous high point was No. 16, which he reached with Paranormal in August 2017.

So far, Cooper has sent six titles to the Vinyl Albums ranking throughout his lengthy career. All but one of those sets have reached the top 20, and each has only managed a single frame on the list.

Fifth-Highest Vinyl Album Debut of the Week

This frame, The Revenge of Alice Cooper earns the fifth-highest debut on the Vinyl Albums chart, coming in behind Snipe Hunter by Tyler Childers (No. 1), Alfredo II by Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist (No. 2), Vanisher, Horizon Scraper by Quadeca (No. 4), and She Hangs Brightly by Mazzy Star (No. 5). It also finishes ahead of other new releases from Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer and Beck.

Alice Cooper Lands on Six Billboard Charts

The Revenge of Alice Cooper appears on six Billboard tallies in its opening week, landing inside the top 10 on half of them. Alongside its showing on Vinyl Albums, the title also debuts at No. 6 on the Top Album Sales list and No. 5 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. It arrives at No. 14 on the Top Rock Albums ranking, No. 16 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally, and No. 72 on the all-genre Billboard 200 — its lowest position of the bunch.

According to Luminate, The Revenge of Alice Cooper starts with 13,650 equivalent units, with nearly all coming from pure sales.
