After a tighter-than-tight battle, RCA’s Pentatonix eked out a win on the Bible’s “consumption” chart, scoring a first-week total of 98.4k, edging past the 98.1.k for Safehouse/Island/Hollywood’s Demi Lovato. That’s a difference of fewer than 300 units—less than 3/10 of 1%. It’s believed that the 2.6k generated by PTX sales through the Cracker Barrel chain made the difference.
Here’s the Bible breakdown: PTX reportedly sold 87.7k albums and 54.8k songs and saw 7.8 million streams in their first week, while Demi moved 76.6k albums, 136.1k songs and 11.9m streams. Pass the syrup.
