Chart Check [Billboard 200]: Lady Gaga’s ‘Joker’-Inspired ‘Harlequin’ Makes Streaming History & Is the Week’s Highest-Charting New Album

Published: Tuesday 8th Oct 2024 by Rashad

Just a day after finding out her film, ‘Joker: Folie a Deux,’ laughed its way to the top of American box offices, Lady Gaga‘s learned her latest musical body of work inspired by the movie has done the same on a number of Billboard charts.

Details inside.

Gaga’s ‘Harlequin’ debuted at #20 on the refreshed Billboard 200. Here are the numbers that powered the placement.

Lady Gaga’s ‘Harlequin’ 

First-Week Sales (SPS):  25,000 units

First-Week Sales (Pure): 16,000 units

Billboard 200 Debut:  #20

Despite slightly falling short of industry analysts’ predictions for its first-week sales, ‘Harlequin’ not only managed to make the highest streaming debut of any jazz album ever but also opened as the week’s top-selling new album among women (pure sales).

Among all last week’s new releases, only Billy Strings‘ ‘Highway Prayer‘ sold more (19,000 pure sales).

Debuting as the 11th Billboard 200 top 20 hit of her career, ‘Harlequin’ – the week’s highest-charting new effort overall – also boasts being Gaga’s third #1 hit on Billboard Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums respectively following the triumphs of ‘Love for Sale’ and ‘Cheek to Cheek.’

  4. Aunty Joanne is crying inside her grave 😂😂😂 October 8, 2024

    People are shocked 😲 that apparently Joker 2 is set to be a embarrassment flop but they’ve forgotten one thing – the vast majority of people in the US can’t stand Lady Gaga’s voice and have no interest in spending 90 minutes to watch her. Trying hard much?!

  5. KATY PERRY STAN October 8, 2024

    FLOP

  6. Lol October 8, 2024

    Her music is bad to begin with!

    Needless to say, the sequel won’t be getting anywhere near the $1 billion mark — not by a long shot.
