In conquering the Billboard 200, Twenty One Pilots' Blurryface has also debuted at number one on the Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts. Following Blurryface on both charts at number two is Faith No More's comeback album, Sol Invictus, while The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers' The Desired Effect comes in at number three.
With 31,000 albums sold, Sol Invictus, Faith No More's first album in 18 years, debuted at number one on Billboard's Hard Rock Albums chart. That mark was also good enough for Sol Invictus to grab the number 15 spot on the Billboard 200 -- Faith No More's highest spot on the chart since 1992's Angel Dust.
The Desired Effect, Flowers' second solo album, sold 29,000 copies in its first week. In addition to debuting at number three on Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums, The Desired Effect also comes in at number 17 on the Billboard 200.
