Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based solely on traditional album sales. The chart started on May 25, 1991, when Billboard began using electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole metric used by the Billboard 200 charts until Dec. 6, 2014, when the methodology expanded to include album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums.

Of the nearly 9,000 copies sold of This Is How Tomorrow Moves in its first week, vinyl sales constituted the majority with 5,000 sold. The album was available in six different editions, including color variants and a picture disc. The set also debuts at No. 5 on the Vinyl Albums sales chart.

This Is How Tomorrow Moves enters the top 10 on several other Billboard album charts as well, including Indie Store Album Sales (No. 2), Top Alternative Albums (No. 5), Independent Albums (No. 6), Top Rock Albums (No. 7), and Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 10). It also debuts at No. 34 on the overall Billboard 200, marking her first appearance in the top 40 on that chart.

These charts rank the week’s most popular albums across various metrics. Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums rank the most popular rock and alternative albums by equivalent album units. Indie Store Album Sales ranks top-selling titles at independent and small chain record stores, while Independent Albums ranks the most popular independently released albums of the week by units.
