"The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The top 10 of the new Nov. 12-dated Billboard 200 chart -- where Lady Gaga may bow at No. 1 -- is scheduled to be revealed on Billboard’s websites on Sunday, Oct. 30. (As for the Nov. 5-dated chart, where Kings of Leon are expected to debut atop the list, its top 10 is due to be announced in the afternoon of Oct. 23.)"
