The 50-position Top Streaming Albums chart ranks the most-streamed albums of the week in the U.S., as compiled by Luminate. Titles are ranked by streaming equivalent album (SEA) units, where each SEA unit equals 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. If an artist has multiple albums containing the same song, SEA units for that song are generally assigned to whichever album sells the most by traditional album sales in a given week.

Last Lap debuts at No. 1 with 125,000 SEA units earned. That sum equates to 173.35 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, marking the third-biggest debut streaming week for a rap album in 2024. The two largest debut rap frames were logged by Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative set We Don’t Trust You (324.31 million) and Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shade (Coup de Grace) (220.08 million).

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet falls a spot to No. 2 (70,000 SEA units; down 11%) after six nonconsecutive weeks atop the list.

Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 17-3, a new peak, with 57,000 SEA units (up 144%) after the album was reissued twice in during the week ending Oct. 17.

On Oct. 11, the original album’s tracklist was joined by 16 remixes of its songs in a deluxe edition (dubbed Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat), and those remixes included such guests as The 1975 and Ariana Grande. Then, on Oct. 14, the deluxe was plussed-up with one more remix, a redux of “Spring Breakers” featuring Kesha. All versions of Brat, new and old, are combined for tracking and charting purposes. Brat’s 57,000 SEA units equate to 73.63 million on-demand official streams of its songs – the album’s best week yet, and Charli XCX’s biggest streaming week for any album.

GloRilla’s new Glorious debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums with 56,000 SEA units (equaling 77.98 million on-demand official streams of its songs). Both figures represent career-highs for the artist, and the biggest weeks for any rap album by a female artist in 2024. Glorious is also the highest charting rap album by a woman on Top Streaming Albums this year.

BigXthaPlug’s Take Care starts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums with 47,000 SEA units (equaling 62.77 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs). It’s the rapper’s biggest streaming week ever. Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time falls 2-6 with 46,000 SEA units (down 5%). Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken arrives at No. 7 with 44,000 SEA units (58.86 million on-demand official streams) – his biggest streaming week yet.

Rounding out the top 10 are Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft (3-8 with 42,000 SEA units; down 2%), Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (4-9 with 40,000; down 4%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department (5-10 with 39,000; down 3%).
