The new Aug. 24-dated Vinyl Albums chart will be posted in full to Billboard ’s website on Aug. 20.

The 12-1 jump for Rise reflects the tracking week that contained a buzzy festival performance from Roan – her Aug. 11 gig at Outside Lands in San Francisco. The latter generated a quasi-viral moment where she chastised the VIP section for not singing along to the album’s “Hot to Go!” The Outside Lands gig came a little over week after another well-received festival performance from the singer, when she had a rousing reception at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 1.

In total, Rise has sold 80,000 copies on vinyl since its release in September 2023.

The good news keeps coming for Rise on the charts, as the set hits new peaks on three key album rankings: the Billboard 200 (moving 3-2), Top Streaming Albums (3-2) and Top Album Sales (7-3); all dated Aug. 24.

In the Aug. 9-15 tracking week, Rise earned 72,000 equivalent album units (its best week yet). Of that sum, a little more than 14,000 were in traditional album sales (the set’s second-largest sales week). Further, the album’s songs generated 75.42 million on-demand official streams during the week — equaling 57,000 streaming-equivalent album units; both figures are new one-week highs for the album.
