The numbers are in, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Unlimited Love is the best-selling rock album of 2022 — and beyond.
With 97,500 equivalent album units earned, Chili Peppers’ 12th full-length debuted this week at the top of the Billboard 200 Albums chart. In doing so, Unlimited Love had the best selling week for any rock album in 16 months. The last rock album to move more copies was Paul McCartney’s McCartney III in January 2021.
Unlimited Love also marks Chili Peppers’ first No. 1 album since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium. The common theme between those two releases? The presence of guitarist John Frusciante; Unlimited Love is Frusciante’s first album with the band since Stadium Arcadium.
