Tears For Fears’ Top 10 Return

As the Encanto soundtrack holds court at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for an eighth nonconsecutive week, a trio of albums debut in the top 10, including Tears for Fears’ The Tipping Point. It’s the duo’s first trip to the upper part of the chart in over 30 years.

Tears for Fears was last in the top 10 with 1989’s The Seeds of Love, which peaked at No. 8, though The Tipping Point still marks the act’s highest career debut. The album, the duo’s first new studio release since 2004, enters with 31,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States during the week ending March 3, according to MRC Data. Of that sum, 29,000 were in album sales — the best sales week for the act since MRC Data began tracking sales in 1991.

Meanwhile, Kodak Black’s Back for Everything enters at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (his fourth top five on the list) and Avril Lavigne’s Love Sux starts at No. 9 (her sixth top 10).
