BLONDE'S BOMBSHELL OF A DEBUT
Quote:
Frank Ocean (Boys Don't Cry) 265-290k SPS, 225-240k album
First week sales of Blonde will likely double the first week sales of Channel Orange, which opened with 131k in July 2012. Since the tracks are currently album-only at iTunes, presumably just for the first week, Blonde’s SPS additions will come solely from streams. In Blonde’s exclusive, abbreviated first week at Apple Music, streams from the album could exceed 50 million.

NEW RELEASES: INSIDE LANEZ
Quote:
Based on the earliest data, here's what the week's two key releases are looking like. We may also be factoring a proper Frank Ocean album into the mix at some point, but for now signs are murky.
Tory Lanez (Mad Love/Interscope) 35-40k SPS, 25-30k album
Dolly Parton (Dolly/RCA Nashville) 20-25k, 20-25k
|
Unless SQ Soundtrack which sold 48K last week drops less than -35% or Frank Ocean releases, 30K~ for the top seller. 
Drake vs. Suicide Squad for #1 on SPS this week.  Drake battling for #1 in his 17th week.

So with SPS, these albums are still not hitting 100k+ equivalent sales weekly?
Streaming is compensation for how weak sales are, but it's not really proving that the industry is in strong standing.
Even with streaming growing, sales will continue to falter. Thus we will still have these relatively weak weekly numbers.

Tory Lanez was straight begging people to buy his album.
Tragic tbh, but at least he got #1.

Why can't anyone but Adele, Beyoncé, and Drake sell albums anymore? I guess the people are only willing to pay for something that they know will be of quality.

For most of this year, the #1 has been doing over 100K. July and August are the quietest times of the year for the industry, so we've had some 70/80/90k #1s, but overall album consumption is increasing per Nielsen.

Not when it's bringing the US music industry's revenue up for the first time in years, despite album and single sales dropping.
Quote:
It's the worst year (so far) for music sales since the 1991 debut of SoundScan (now Nielsen Music). Album sales, including track-equivalent albums (TEA, whereby 10 track sales equal one album unit) are down 16.9 percent in the first half of this year. But sales figures no longer tell the whole story of the record business.
First, let's bottom-line those disappearing sales. Album units overall fell 13.6 percent, with 100.3 million total sales. The compact disc continued to crumble, losing 11.6 percent and moving 50 million. Digital album sales fell to 43.8 million, from 53.7 million in the first half of last year. Vinyl sales continued to move up and to the right, growing 11.4 percent, to 6.2 million. New album releases have been most affected by the continued contraction, falling 20.2 percent overall, to 44.1 million units. Catalog albums fell "just" 7.7 percent, to 56.2 million.
Track sales fall to 404.3 million units from 531.6 million units. Current track sales are leading the descent; songs released in the last 18 months saw sales fall nearly 40 percent. Catalog, again, saw a much smaller dip, down 6.4 percent to 236.6 million units.
Listeners streamed 208.9 billion songs (which translates to 139.2 million album units) between January and now (July 6), an increase of 58.7 percent. Of that 208.9 billion, 113.6 billion were audio-only, versus 95.3 billion video streams (defined as a music video view on YouTube, Vevo, Tidal and Apple Music -- of which the latter two contribute a very small piece). It's the first time audio has surpassed lower-paying video streams.
What's that all mean?
Billboard estimates total U.S. revenue at $1.98 billion so far this year, versus $1.82 billion last year, an corresponding 8.9 percent increase. However, the rate that Billboard uses to estimate the revenue generated by streaming ($0.0063 per song), which is clearly a central part of the revenue estimate, has been disputed as too high by some indie labels.
