Alex Warren hit it big on the Billboard charts a little more than a year ago with his debut album, You’ll Be All Right, Kid. The set, which followed an EP titled You’ll Be All Right, Kid (Chapter One), brought him to new peaks on many of the company’s album rankings and showed that he was more than a one-hit wonder.
Just over 12 months later, Warren returned with Wildchild, his sophomore set. The project debuts in lofty positions on every Billboard roster where it can be found, and in most cases, the singer-songwriter hits career peaks with his latest studio LP.
Alex Warren Earns His First No. 1s on Several Charts
Wildchild launches on a quartet of Billboard charts this week, and it leads half of them. The set opens at No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums rankings.
According to Luminate, the music industry organization that feeds sales and streaming data to Billboard, Wildchild sold 54,500 copies in the United States last week. That figure includes purchases on digital download, CD and vinyl.
Wildchild Brings Alex Warren to New Career Highs
Warren reaches No. 1 on both rankings where Wildchild leads for the first time. On the Vinyl Albums chart, You’ll Be All Right, Kid opened and peaked at No. 5 last summer. That same set stalled in seventh place on the Top Album Sales ranking.
Alex Warren Nearly Conquers the Billboard 200
Warren almost rules the Billboard 200 with Wildchild, but misses out on doing so by just one space. The album debuts at No. 2 on the ranking of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the U.S., which is compiled using both traditional sales and streaming activity.

The Grammy nominee has only placed a pair of projects on the 200-space roster, and both have reached not only the top 10, but the top five. You’ll Be All Right, Kid, which has spent nearly 100 weeks on the tally thanks in large part to its massive single “Ordinary,” peaked at No. 5.
Wildchild Misses Alex Warren’s Previous Streaming Peak
It is only on the Top Streaming Albums chart where Warren does not manage to at least equal his previous career best. You’ll Be All Right, Kid surged all the way to No. 4, while Wildchild gets off to a No. 25 start.
That showing is slightly disappointing compared with Warren’s success elsewhere, though Wildchild did not have a huge single bolstering its streaming numbers in the same way that “Ordinary” helped its predecessor.
Both Alex Warren Albums Chart Together
Speaking of You’ll Be All Right, Kid – that set continues to live on two tallies, where it is now joined by Wildchild. This frame, the older full-length climbs two spaces to No. 26 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. You’ll Be All Right, Kid moves in the opposite direction on the Billboard 200, dipping three rungs to No. 37.
Alex Warren Scores Another Billboard Hot 100 Smash
Of the three Warren tunes that appear on any Billboard roster at the moment, “Ordinary” remains his biggest win. The cut holds at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and remains a top 20 success on the Streaming Songs ranking and the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
“Fever Dream,” featured on Wildchild, climbs several dozen spots on both worldwide tallies, rising to No. 143 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 147 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
Warren also barely manages to collect a new Billboard Hot 100 smash with “Emerald Eyes.” The song kicks off its time in second-to-last place, at No. 99, earning the musician his ninth career placement on the competitive roster.
