Five chart-topping releases and counting. Greta Van Fleet continues its successful run on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart as Palace for the People arrives at No. 1, adding another achievement to the band’s growing catalog.

The new release earned 30,000 equivalent album units in the United States during its opening week, including 26,000 traditional album sales, according to the latest chart figures.

The album also debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, with 17,000 copies sold on vinyl.

The achievement gives Greta Van Fleet its fifth consecutive No. 1 release on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, continuing a run that began with the band’s 2017 EP, From the Fires.

Several tracks from Palace for the People also appeared on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, including Heya, Tear It Down, and Saw You Stand.

The results highlight the band’s continued commercial presence in rock music, particularly through physical album sales. Vinyl purchases accounted for a substantial share of the album’s first-week performance.
