Sleep Token has reached a defining milestone in its enigmatic rise to stardom. The UK-based masked collective scored its first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Even in Arcadia, a genre-blending, emotionally charged album that marks both a commercial and artistic high point for the band.
Released via RCA Records, Even in Arcadia debuted with 127,000 equivalent album units—Sleep Token’s biggest week ever. The album not only topped the Billboard 200 but also landed at No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums charts. It now holds the title for the largest streaming debut ever for a hard rock album, with nearly 69 million on-demand streams in its first week.
The band’s leap from indie favorite to chart powerhouse follows their major-label signing earlier this year and builds on the momentum from 2023’s Take Me Back to Eden. With hit singles like “Caramel” and “Damocles” already making waves, Even in Arcadia confirms the band’s breakout into mainstream consciousness.
Mysterious yet magnetic, Sleep Token’s genre-defying sound continues to resonate—and now, they’ve got the numbers to prove it.
