We argue that the relative yields of $\Upsilon$ states observed at the LHC can be understood as bottomonium states coming to early thermal equilibrium and then freezing out. The bottomonium freezeout temperature is approximately 250 MeV. We examine its systematics as a function of centrality. We remark on the interesting differences seen by the CMS and ALICE experiments in the charmonium sector.
