Noah Kahan has achieved his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with "The Great Divide," earning 389,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 30.

The album also had the largest vinyl sales week for an album in the modern era since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991. The Great Divide is Kahan’s fifth charted effort on Billboard 200 and his second top 10. The Billboard 200 charts ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, compiled by Luminate.
