This is a list of the albums ranked number one in the United States during 2023. The top-performing albums and EPs in the U.S. are ranked on the Billboard 200 chart, which is published by Billboard magazine. The data is compiled by Luminate Data based on multi-metric consumption as measured in album-equivalent units, which comprise album sales, track sales, and streams on digital music platforms. Each unit equals one album sold or 10 individual digital tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.
1989 (Taylor's Version), the fourth re-recorded album by Taylor Swift, surpassed her own Speak Now (Taylor's Version) to garner the largest opening week of 2023, with over 1.65 million album-equivalent units, including 1.35 million album sales. It became the best-selling album of the year, with over 1.9 million copies sold within 2023. Mañana Será Bonito, the fourth studio album by Colombian singer Karol G, became the first-ever Spanish-language album by a female artist to reach the number-one spot, and only the third Spanish-language album to top the chart in its 78-year history.
One Thing at a Time, the third studio album by American country singer Morgan Wallen, is the longest-running number-one album of the year, topping the chart for 16 non-consecutive weeks. It also became the most consumed album of 2023. The second studio album of SZA, SOS (2022), is 2023's longest reigning number-one on the Billboard 200 by a female artist, topping the chart for eight weeks within the year.
