Sarah McLach­lan’s new stu­dio album, Bet­ter Bro­ken, takes a bow at No. 8 on Bill­board’s Top Album Sales chart, mark­ing the singer-songwriter’s sev­enth top 10 on the tal­ly. The new project, which is her first album of orig­i­nal mate­r­i­al since 2014, also arrives in the top 10 on Top Cur­rent Album Sales(No. 7) and Americana/Folk Albums(No. 7).

Here’s McLachlan’s col­lec­tion of top 10s on the Top Album Sales chart: Bet­ter Bro­ken, Shine On (No. 4, 2014), Laws of Illu­sion (No. 3, 2010), Win­ter­song (No. 7, 2006), After­glow (No. 2, 2003), Mir­ror­ball (No. 3, 1999) and Sur­fac­ing(No. 2, 1997).

Bet­ter Bro­ken sold 10,500 copies in the Unit­ed States in the track­ing week end­ing Sept. 25, accord­ing to Lumi­nate.

Bill­board’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-sell­ing albums of the week based only on tra­di­tion­al album sales. The chart’s his­to­ry dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Bill­board began tab­u­lat­ing charts with elec­tron­i­cal­ly mon­i­tored piece count infor­ma­tion from Sound­Scan, now Lumi­nate. Pure album sales were the sole mea­sure­ment uti­lized by the Bill­board 200 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.

As for the rest of the top 10 on the lat­est Top Album Sales chart, Car­di B’s AM I THE DRAMA? opens at No. 1, while Nine Inch Nails’ sound­track to TRON: Aresenters at No. 2 and Buck­ing­ham Nicks’ long out-of-print (but now reis­sued) self-titled set from 1973 debuts at No. 3. Stray Kids’ for­mer No. 1 KARMA is steady at No. 4, Twen­ty One Pilots’ chart-top­ping Breach falls 1–5 in its sec­ond week, Sab­ri­na Carpenter’s for­mer leader Man’s Best Friend dips 5–6, the KPop Demon Hunters sound­track is a non-mover at No. 7, Sleep Token’s chart-top­ping Even in Arca­dia reen­ters at No. 9 after new vinyl vari­ants were released for the set, and CORTIS’ Col­or Out­side the Linesfalls 3–10 in its sec­ond week
