Def Jam’s Justin Bieber is this week’s sales champ, prevailing over SYCO/Columbia’s One Direction, as his Purpose tops the HITS Album Sales Chart with 504k and the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart with 620k. FYI, those numbers signify the biggest debut of 2015 (in both categories)—until next week—as well as the biggest sales-plus-streaming number ever.
1D landed at #2 with 414k in sales and 470k at SPS.
