\n\tKISS<\/a> scores its highest-charted title on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Album Sales<\/a> chart in more than a decade, as KISS Destroys Anaheim \u201976<\/em> debuts at No. 8 on the list dated Sept. 5. The archival live project brings the band to its highest rank on the tally since 2012, with the group\u2019s final studio album, Monster<\/em>, debuted and peaked at No. 3 in October 2012.<\/p>\n

\n\tKISS Destroys Anaheim \u201976<\/em> commemorates the 50th anniversary of the group\u2019s Aug. 20, 1976 show at the Anaheim Stadium, where the band played to its largest audience at the time: 42,000. As part of KISS\u2019 The Spirit of \u201976 Tour (also known as the Destroyer Tour), the recording was newly mixed for its first official public release across an array of physical and digital formats.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album boasts recordings of KISS favorites like \u201cDetroit Rock City,\u201d \u201cStrutter,\u201d \u201cShout It Out Loud\u201d and \u201cRock and Roll All Nite.\u201d KISS Destroys Anaheim \u201976<\/em> also debuts on an array of other Billboard charts: Indie Store Album Sales (No. 8), Vinyl Albums (No. 16), Top Hard Rock Albums (No. 12), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 48) and the overall Billboard 200 (No. 173). On the latter, the set marks KISS\u2019 37th chart entry<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere on the Sept. 5-dated Top Album Sales<\/a> chart, ENHYPEN nabs its fifth No. 1 with THE SIN : BLISS<\/em>\u2019 chart-topping arrival, while Weezer and Twenty One Pilots see their latest projects make top 10 bows at Nos. 4 and 5. Check out the full chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard\u2019s <\/em>Top Album Sales<\/a><\/em><\/a> chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on pure album sales (physical and digital download purchases combined). The chart\u2019s history dates to May 25, 1991, the first week <\/em>Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the <\/em>Billboard 200<\/em><\/a> albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
