For K-12
Melanie Martinez earns
her second top 10 album
and highest-charting set
yet on the Billboard 200
as K-12 debuts at No. 3
with 57,000 equivalent
album units earned
in the week ending
Sept. 12, according to
Nielsen Music. (Of that
sum, 30,000 were in
album sales.)
K-12 is Martinez’s sec-
ond full-length studio
set following 2015’s Cry
Baby, which debuted
and peaked at No. 6
on Sept. 5, 2015, with
40,000 units in its first
week (32,000 in album
sales). Cry Baby has
earned 1.4 million units
and collected 1.1 bil-
lion on-demand audio
streams for its tracks.
K-12 also serves as
the soundtrack to the
feature-length film of
the same name starring
Martinez. The movie
(written and directed by
the artist) was released
for one night in theaters
(Sept. 5). It arrived on
YouTube the same day,
and bowed Sept. 6 in a
deluxe package with the
album. The K-12 LP also
launches at No. 1 on the
Soundtracks chart.

Davis’
Lost
Album
Arrives
Miles Davis’ lost album
Rubberband debuts at
No. 37 on Top Album
Sales (3,000 sold in the
week ending Sept. 12,
according to Nielsen
Music) and at No. 1 on
both Contemporary
Jazz Albums and the
overall Jazz Albums
tallies. The set’s original
recording sessions date
back to 1985, when the
album was intended
to be Davis’ debut for
Warner Bros. Records,
though the album was
ultimately shelved. The
completed tracks were
augmented with new
musical accompaniment
and vocalists.
In other jazz news,
Vince Guaraldi’s TV
soundtrack It’s the Great
Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
scares up a 23-6 move
on Kid Albums (1,000
sold; up 110%). The
boost is mostly owed to
sales of recent vinyl re-
leases: a direct-to-con-
sumer exclusive on
glow-in-the-dark vinyl,
a yellow moon-colored
set at Barnes & Noble
and an orange-colored
version at Cracker
Barrel. —K.C.
