Jack Johnson logs fourth No. 1 on the Billboard 200
Singer/songwriter Jack Johnson claims his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as "From Here to Now to You" bows atop the list with 117,000 sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The new effort is his third consecutive studio set to debut at No. 1, following "Sleep Through the Static" (2008) and "To the Sea" (2010). (He also opened at No. 1 with his soundtrack to the film "Curious George" in 2006.)
"From Here to Now to You," however, starts with Johnson's lowest debut sales week since his first album, 2001's "Brushfire Fairytales." That set arrived in February of that year, selling fewer than 1,000 copies in its first week. Comparably, Johnson's last two albums started with more than twice the opening sum of "From Here." His last studio set, "To the Sea," sailed in with 243,000, and "Sleep Through the Static" bowed with 375,000.
