Music Charts: Budding Vine king Shawn Mendes debuts at No. 1, seasoned boss Bruce Springsteen enters at No. 5
The three top 10 debut albums on this week's Billboard Top 200 album chart involve a trio of dudes who've earned their success three different ways. Social media star Shawn Mendes roared to No. 1 with "Illuminate," his second straight record to hit the top. The singer, who built the foundations of his fanbase through quickie posts on Vine, has jumped platforms to become the rare artist with back-to-back No. 1 albums. Mendes accomplished the feat through an impressive volume of streams. "Illuminate" accrued more than 24 million spins, which, combined with 120,000 downloads and physical sales, resulted in a total of 145,000 album equivalent units, according to Nielsen Music.
