Japanese Breakfast Hits #1 in Two Weeks on NACC 200
This week’s climb to #1 on the NACC 200 is full of notable feats, and it comes from last week’s most-added album and highest debut. Philly-based quartet Japanese Breakfast were most recently on our chart in 2021 and spent five weeks at #1 with their third studio album, Jubilee. The Dead Oceans follow-up, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), has quickly become their second chart-topper. How quickly? It ties the record for the fastest climb to #1 (two weeks). And by jumping from 14-1, the album enjoys the most significant climb to the top since The Beths jumped 24-1 in 2022. No other album has climbed from outside the Top 10 to #1 since then! One last noteworthy NACC 200 accomplishment is that the album accumulates more points this week than any other album in 2025. Finally, Japanese Breakfast isn’t just #1 on the NACC 200. They also debut at #1 on the NACC Non-Comm Chart (the second album to do so this year).
