Benson Boone Misses No. 1 By Just One Space With His New Album

It was only a little more than a year ago that Benson Boone became a global pop superstar thanks to his single, “Beautiful Things.” That track is still a charting success to this day in a number of countries, even as his sophomore album American Heart debuts. His latest full-length arrives on half a dozen rankings in the United Kingdom, and as it lands, it brings the pop singer to a new high point on each and every tally on which it can be found.

American Heart Launches Inside the Top 10

The set opens highest on the Official Album Downloads chart. Boone earns his first top 10 win on half of those tallies and his second on the other half. In each instance, American Heart brings him to a new career peak.

Boone’s second full-length almost becomes his first No. 1 on one of those lists, but misses out by just one space. American Heart launches at No. 2 on the Official Album Downloads ranking, coming in behind only the latest release by homegrown rapper Aitch, 4.

The pop singer’s project kicks off its time in fourth place on four rankings, including the main list of the most consumed albums in the U.K., as well as the Official Album Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts.

American Heart launches lowest on the Official Albums Streaming chart, as it seems that sales were largely to thank for its success. On that tally, it opens at No. 7.

Three Songs From American Heart Chart

Three songs from American Heart are present on multiple rankings in the U.K. this frame. Pre-release singles “Mystical Magical” and “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” largely rise across a variety of tallies, while newly-selected fan favorite “Mr. Electric Blue” debuts. That tune opens on the Official Singles chart at No. 55 and in lower spots on two sales lists.

Benson Boone’s Previous Era Still Shows Strength

Boone’s debut album Fireworks and Rollerblades can still be found on five albums charts, while “Beautiful Things” remains a top 20 hit across four different rankings.
