BILLBOARD 200

Quote:

Further, of its 42,000 start, just 30,000 were pure album sales. (It also enters at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.) That's the lowest sales figure for a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, or Top Album Sales, since Nielsen Music began powering the charts' rankings in 1991. It falls below the previous low, when Amos Lee's Mission Bell debuted at No. 1 with just over 40,000 sold (week ending Jan. 30, 2011).

1. Various Artists - "Descendants (Original TV Movie Soundtrack)" 42,000
2. Future - "DS2" 37,000
3. Taylor Swift - "1989" 35,000
4. Ed Sheeran - "x" 30,000
5. Jill Scott - "Woman" 27,000
6. Sam Hunt - "Montevallo" 27,000
7. Lil Dicky - "Professional Rapper" 26,000
8. Twenty One Pilots - "Blurryface" 25,000
9. Led Zeppelin - "In Through the Out Door" 24,000
10. Drake - "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" 23,000

Sales on EEK

MANUELF

I really wanted Taylor Swift at number one

Crescendolls.

So Future defeated her

fridayteenage

what kind of dumb numbers.

here for another correction tomorrow. That 25% drop for 1989 looks shady.

Notable differences from HDD:
Descendants -4k
Future +2k
Taylor -4k
Jill +4k
Twenty One +6k

A year from now it'll be 20k then 15k then 10k , streaming is the only hope.

Redstreak

How did Taylor have such a huge drop in streaming?

holdongomez

Why is that movie so hyped up?

That's sad.

simmnfierzig

-25% for 1989 makes 0 sense. HDD has album sales down 13%, kworb has track sales down ~15%. Not possible that it's Apple Music streams have collapsed like that.

But the 42k number for Descendants seems very realistic and they have that #1. Good for them.

I mean, 6.6 million people watched the first airing alone. 30,000 is less than half a percent of that.

shelven

The fact that some people still try to claim that it's fair to compare album sales in 2012 and 2013 to album sales in 2015

IBeMe

I was right after all! I was probably the ONLY person who said Descendants would win both Future and Taylor.
anyways Taylor will get a revival once Wildest Dreams gains traction. especially with no august or September major releases planned out

Dr. Dre and Luke Bryan this week who will be ahead of 1989 for numerous weeks
Bon Jovi in 2 weeks
The Weeknd in 3 weeks

This was the last really good shot for 1989 for quite a while probably forever, but I said that before a couple of months back. But it will not hang around that top 5 forever. I don't expect too much of a push from Wildest Dreams.

fridayteenage

Lol, any right-ness ibeme may have been about descendants is more than cancelled by claiming that August has no major releases.

But I also disagree with simm that Her days of T5 are nearing a close.
September isn't looking as strong.

Idontcareaboutyou

Those sales.

They should really put platinum at 500k and diamond at 5 million now.

MardinBeksloy

There is only 5000 different between X and 1989. Bently is coming @@

The number is surely off :/
HDD predicted Taylor above Future, and she also has AM.
