Top 5 Albums on the Billboard 200 This Week (11/09): Olivia Rodrigo, Michael Jackson & Morgan Wallen

Olivia Rodrigo earns her fourth week at No. 1 while “Thriller” finishes just 2,000 units behind.


5. Noah Kahan – The Great Divide (40K Units)

Noah Kahan holds steady at No. 5 as The Great Divide earns another 40,000 units.

The album has now accumulated 2,143,000 units after spending three weeks at No. 1. Noah adds a little more to his weekly total while keeping his place in the top five. Listeners clearly aren’t ready to take this one out of rotation.

4. Ella Langley – Dandelion (45K Units)

Ella Langley remains at No. 4 as Dandelion adds another 45,000 units.

The album has now generated 2,349,000 units since its release, following three weeks at No. 1. Between this project’s consistency and the run of “Choosin’ Texas,” Ella keeps strengthening her case for 2026 MVP. At this point, tell me why she shouldn’t be.

3. Morgan Wallen – I’m The Problem (49K Units)

Morgan Wallen holds at No. 3 as I’m The Problem earns another 49,000 units.

The album’s total now stands at 7,501,000 units, officially crossing the 7.5-million mark after spending 14 weeks at No. 1. Morgan finally dips below 50,000 for the week, but I’m not about to act like 49,000 is a struggle. That longevity remains ridiculous.

2. Michael Jackson – Thriller (55K Units)

Michael Jackson’s Thriller rises to No. 2 with 55,000 units, up 89% from the previous week.

The climb gives the album its highest Billboard 200 position this century. We’ve already established that Thriller returning to the conversation around Halloween is tradition, but reaching No. 2 is another level. This album apparently has unfinished business.

1. Olivia Rodrigo – you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (57K Units)

Olivia Rodrigo climbs one position to reclaim No. 1 as you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love earns another 57,000 units.

The album has now generated 2,080,000 units, securing its fourth week atop the Billboard 200. That ties it for the longest No. 1 run among albums released in 2026. Olivia takes the crown back with just 2,000 units separating her from Thriller. That’s a close call when the competition has been around since 1982.
