Justin Timberlake is back on the Billboard charts this week with his new album Everything I Thought It Was. The set arrives on a number of rankings, and while it doesn’t reach the same heights as his past projects, the title does help him land on a tally he’s never appeared on before.

Everything I Thought It Was is new to the Top Streaming Albums chart, where it launches at No. 18. The title marks the first appearance on the list of the most-streamed full-lengths in the country for Timberlake.

While he may be one of the biggest male pop solo stars in the world, Timberlake spaces his releases out across several years. In between his last effort, 2018’s Man of the Woods, and Everything I Thought It WasBillboard introduced the Top Streaming Albums chart. The former NSYNC singer is not the only well-known figure who is just now reaching the tally–far from it, in fact. Many famous artists and bands have recently collected their first wins on this relatively new roster.

Everything I Thought It Was scores the third-highest debut of the week on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Kacey Musgraves earns the loftiest entrance, as Deeper Well starts at No. 10. Hip-hop musician BossMan Dlow’s Mr. Beat the Road is new at No. 17 on this week’s list.

Two other titles come in behind Everything I Thought It Was, which means that 10% of the spaces on the 50-spot Top Streaming Albums chart this frame are claimed by arrivals. Flo Milli’s Fine Ho, Stay debuts at No. 45, while Djo’s Decide barely breaks onto the tally, settling at No. 50.

At the same time that it starts inside the top 20 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, Everything I Thought It Was performs much better on a number of other lists. The title is new at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, the most important ranking of the most-consumed projects in the country.

Everything I Thought It Was also launches in the runner-up rung on two other competitive tallies. Timberlake’s studio LP is new at No. 2 on both the Vinyl Albums and Top Album Sales rankings.
