The Chainsmokers have been making an impact on the Billboard charts for a couple of years now, including a historic run on the Hot 100 with their single “Closer” featuring Halsey. But after putting out two five-track EPs — “Bouquet” in 2015, “Collage” in 2016 — they have finally released their first full-length studio album, “Memories…Do Not Open,” which dropped on April 7 and has now debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Memories is the first album to simultaneously lead both the Billboard 200 and the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart in nearly three-and-a-half years. The last to do so was Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP, when it debuted at No. 1 on both tallies dated Nov. 30, 2013 (with 258,000 copies sold in its first week).
