This is definitely THIRD week sales for Beyonce (week of 12/23-12/29).
I can't imagine Duck Dynasty and Kelly Clarkson are selling 40k-50k Christmas albums for the week of 12/30 - 1/5.

No trolling but that's the only reason I thought the same  Kelly's album on the other hand makes me doubt it'd be this week.

Plus won't they still release the articles tomorrow?

I really don't know. It seems they'll update on Thursday.
I just wish they had a twitter and someone could just ask them.

Agree with this post.

Crap. I guess all we can do is wait.
4th or 3rd week though, we can agree that the numbers are good either way.

Ok so apparently this is the 31/12 HITS chart meaning it indeed corresponds to the 3rd week. You know how HITS usually have their building chart on monday and tuesday with final numbers for the top 50, well this week instead of a top 50 they're just giving this.

Note that an iTunes $6.99-$7.99 sale applies to Frozen, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Now 48, Lady Gaga and several others listed below, as the download emporium calls its gift cards home.
1. Beyoncé (Columbia) 275-290k
2. One Direction (SYCO/Columbia) 130-145k
3. Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 125-140k
4. Frozen (Walt Disney) 120-135k
5. Katy Perry (Capitol) 90-100k
6. Garth Brooks (Pearl) 90-100k
7. Lorde (Lava/Republic) 75-85k
8. Imagine Dragons (KidinaKorner/Interscope) 65-75k
9. Now 48 (UMe) 55-65k
10. The Robertsons (EMI Nashville) 50-60k

Could that be due to the fact Billboard put their prediction for Kelly before Xmas, so assumed it would sell this much at this rate, but obviously half way through the week it would drop like a rock and stop selling, and HDD are offering their pure estimation for that week, and since they made the prediction later they would be more informed how Kelly's albun would drop after Xmas. Ugh I dunno but I hope this is Bey's 4th week.

This part is still confusing. Was there an iTunes sale last week or they made a mistake

I only noticed those albums on sale this morning... That's why I will wait until official numbers are released for this week.

Frozen wasn't discounted, and I think a few others weren't either. That's part of the reason why it rose to #1.

I know that but BEYONCÉ costs more than 2.5x than Frozen and US sales are based only on sales, right? So Frozen could pass Bey next week but I hope it doesn't.
