A six-year wait leads to a revamped Breaking Benjamin getting its first No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart this week.

Dark Before Dawn, the hard-rock group's fifth album and first since 2009's Dear Agony, outsold out the No. 2 album, pop singer Tori Kelly's Unbreakable Smile, by a factor of more than two to one. According to Nielsen Music, Dark Before Dawn sold 135,000 copies to Unbreakable Smile's 65,000.

Breaking Benjamin's best previous chart position came in 2006 for Phobia, which debuted at No. 2, according to Billboard.

The new incarnation of Breaking Benjamin features an almost entirely new lineup, with only frontman Benjamin Burnley remaining from the Dear Agony era. The group's single, Failure, also is No. 1 on USA TODAY's Active Rock airplay chart this week.

Country singer Kacey Musgraves debuts at No. 3 on main Billboard chart with Pageant Material. Her 55,000 units were enough to put her on top of the publication's country albums chart. Taylor Swift's 1989 falls from No. 2 to No. 4 this week, followed by last week's No. 1, James Taylor's Before This World, at No. 5 and throwback R&B singer Leon Bridges' Coming Home at No. 6. The Teen Beach 2 soundtrack debuts in the No. 10 slot.

Selena Gomez's Good for You featuring rapper A$AP Rocky debuts as the week's top-selling track, with 178,000 downloads.

Breaking Benjamin will begin a series of Southeastern acoustic concerts today in Asheville, N.C. The group's itinerary of acoustic shows follows:

July 1 - The Orange Peel, Asheville, N.C.

July 2 - Ziggys by the Sea, Wilmington, N.C.

July 3 - Georgia Theatre, Athens, Ga.

July 5 - The International, Knoxville, Tenn.
