Shawn’s new album, Wonder, has also managed to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Shawn becomes the youngest male artist to top the chart with a total of four (regular) studio albums.  As Billboard notes, “A regular studio album is artists’ bread-and-butter releases — full-length collections of new songs. It excludes such ancillary releases as live albums, greatest hits sets, Christmas albums, and remix albums.”
