How Did Sleep Token Score the Second Hard Rock No. 1 Album in Three Weeks?

  • Sleep Token, a UK rock band, scored their first No. 1 album with Even in Arcadia on the May 25 Billboard 200 chart.
  • The album’s success follows a low number of major rock releases this year, while similar timing led to Ghost’s recent No. 1 album.
  • Even in Arcadia sold 127,000 equivalent units, including 73,500 pure sales and set a hard rock record with 47,000 vinyl copies sold.
  • Critics highlight the record’s broad streaming popularity beyond core fans and praise its balance of niche appeal with some mainstream-ready songs.
  • Sleep Token’s No. 1 debut indicates ongoing appetite for hard rock today and signals the band’s commercial rise alongside a robust arena tour this fall.
