Alice Cooper, the iconic rocker with a career spanning over half a century, has once again made waves in the music industry. This week, his classic album Billion Dollar Babies has debuted on the Top Album Sales chart, coming in at No. 39. The album, originally released in 1973, has sold 2,035 copies in the past tracking period, earning it a well-deserved spot on the prestigious ranking.
Despite its age, Billion Dollar Babies had never before appeared on the Top Album Sales chart. This achievement can be attributed to a recent deluxe edition release that has reignited interest in Cooper's early works. The new edition, available digitally and in physical formats, has resonated with fans, leading to a surge in sales for the album.
Billion Dollar Babies was a pivotal album in Cooper's career, marking his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The success of this release propelled him to new heights in the music industry. While Cooper has made 19 appearances on the Top Album Sales chart, this is only the second time he has cracked the top 10, with his previous chart-topper being Detroit Stories in 2021.
Cooper's latest achievement adds to the list of 11 debuts on this week's chart. While it may rank lower compared to other entries, it is worth noting that Billion Dollar Babies has already been certified platinum for selling over one million units in the U.S. This feat underscores the enduring popularity and influence of Cooper's music, as it continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
