Jimmy Buffett Scores Important Posthumous Win


The passing of Jimmy Buffett in September of this year left his worldwide fanbase in mourning. Few were aware that the legendary singer-songwriter had been privately battling cancer, as he chose not to share the sad news publicly. Now, fans have paid tribute to the late artist by driving his new music back onto the charts in a touching display of support.

Forbes reports Buffett's posthumous album Equal Strain on All Parts debuts on the Billboard charts this week, following its first full tracking frame concluding. The title enters the Billboard 200, which ranks the most-consumed albums in the United States, at a noteworthy No. 6.

Equal Strain on All Parts arrives on the Billboard 200 with a total of just over 53,000 equivalent units, as reported by Billboard. An overwhelming majority of these units are pure purchases, with devoted Buffett fans enthusiastically acquiring 51,000 copies of the album.

This latest chart placement adds to Buffett's impressive history of top 10 entries on the Billboard 200. Equal Strain on All Parts marks the fourteenth project by the late artist to reach the highest tier of the Billboard 200. He last appeared higher on the tally in 2020, when his album Life on the Flip Side debuted at an even loftier No. 2 on the chart.
