Twenty One Pilots Score Biggest Rock Debut in Six Years on Albums Chart In a dominating performance, Twenty One Pilots made history by scoring the biggest rock debut in six years on the albums chart. According to Billboard, their new record "Breach" topped the chart at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, earning 200,000 equivalent album units in the United States. The band's second chart-topper marked a milestone for Twenty One Pilots, with their biggest week ever and the largest for a rock album since Tool's "Fear Inoculum" in 2019.

With "Breach," Twenty One Pilots has proven themselves as one of the most consistent and successful rock bands in recent years. Ed Sheeran also made a strong showing on the chart with his eighth top-10 album, "Play," debuting at No. 5. The K-Pop soundtrack for "Demon Hunters" dropped from No. 1 to 2, while Morgan Wallen's "One Thing at a Time" held steady at No. 3. The success of "Breach" marks a significant milestone for Twenty One Pilots, who have been making waves in the music industry since their formation in 2009. With their unique blend of rock and pop, the band has built a loyal fan base and established themselves as one of the most innovative and exciting acts in contemporary music. As "Breach" continues to dominate the charts, fans can expect Twenty One Pilots to embark on a new tour or promotional campaign soon. The band's management team has not yet announced any official plans, but sources close to the group suggest that they are considering a major world tour in support of their latest release. In the meantime, music enthusiasts can enjoy "Breach" and experience the band's signature sound for themselves. With this achievement, Twenty One Pilots solidifies their position as one of the most successful rock bands of the past decade, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's next from this talented group. *Reporting by Variety.*
