    \n\tMartinez previously reigned on Top Rock & Alternative Albums with Portals<\/em>, which led for two weeks in 2023.<\/p>\n

    \n\tAdditionally, Hades<\/em> debuts at No. 1 on Top Alternative Albums, Martinez\u2019s fourth No. 1, following reigns for Cry Baby <\/em>(2015) and K-12 <\/em>(2019) in addition to the aforementioned Portals<\/em> and Hades<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    \n\tMartinez moves into a four-way tie alongside Billie Eilish, Lorde and Paramore for the most No. 1s on Top Alternative Albums by women or women-led acts since the chart\u2019s 2007 inception. Only two such acts have more: Lana Del Rey (seven, also the top mark among any act) and Florence + The Machine (five).<\/p>\n

    Hades<\/em> concurrently starts at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200, her third time in the chart\u2019s top three; Portals<\/em> remains her best via its No. 2 bow.<\/p>\n

    \n\tEight songs from Hades<\/em> appear on the April 11-dated Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, led by \u201cPossession,\u201d which re-enters at No. 33 (after premiering at No. 11 in February). It earned 1.8 million official U.S. streams. The album\u2019s top debut of the week, meanwhile, belongs to \u201cUncanny Valley\u201d (No. 37; 1.6 million streams).<\/p>\n
