Alison Wonderland debuts at #1 on Billboard’s Dance Chart
Sydney DJ and producer Alison Wonderland achieved career-best sales this week as her second album Awake debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
She becomes the first solo female act to hit the top spot in over a year, dating back to February 25, 2017 when Lady Gaga‘s The Fame ended its reign.
“AWAKE DEBUTS AT NUMBER 1,” she tweeted. “THANK U GUYS. From the bottom of my heart.”

Nielsen Music reports that 4,000 of the album’s 7,000 equivalent units have been from traditional album sales.
Awake also currently has two tracks on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, with ‘Church’ and ‘No’ sitting at #35 and #44 respectively.
The news comes off the back of Alison Wonderland’s Coachella set last week, a performance that saw her become the highest-billed DJ in the history of the festival.
The muso will perform at Coachella again this coming weekend before heading back to Australia for album launch parties.
