His numbers are good considering he's never had huge first week sales. He's never reached #1 so I don't see why you all were aiming at it. He still has a promo spot this week so let's see how he responds to that. As of now, he's responding great to his last night performance in the American Music Awards. Fact is, you all counted the eggs before they hashed and you're coming with new excuses now.
I never mentioned #1. #1s are random most of the time so I dont care about that.
And again I know all that
And I'm not making excuses. 120K would have been horrible and 200k would be okay. Lets see. Maybe he can get into the good range.
After the first two days of the new week (beginning 11/18/16), Metallica's Hardwired...to Selfdestruct and 24K Magic from Bruno Mars are currently leading the pack.
1. Metallica 157,557
2. Bruno Mars - 140,638
3. Miranda Lambert - 71,897
4. A Tribe Called Quest - 25,023
5. Garth Brooks - 20,144
6. Pentatonix - 15,854
7. Dnce - 12,653
8. Rae Sremmurd - 12,030
9. Highly Suspect - 11,942
10. Hamilton - 10,457
From BuzzAngle. Bruno's #s seems way too high and too close to Metallica

Yap. 110/140 at first was DISASTER. 200K+/- is good. I like him a lot and Adores his last album but the new one is so 5/10. Really disappointing for me.
MARS LANDING: Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, released 11/18, is projected to debut with 175-185k in sales. That’s a respectable number, but the pop superstar is coming off 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox, which had a 192k first-week on the way to 4m+ RTD—and his brand has grown dramatically in the last four years. Bruno’s TV appearances, which have included 60 Minutes, “Carpool Karaoke” and the AMAs, have boosted the new album’s number, despite the fact that the AMAs don’t typically move the needle, but not by enough to threaten what will be this week's runaway chart-topper. Metallica’s self-released Hardwired… to Self-Destruct, the band’s first LP since 2008’s 2m-selling Death Magnetic, is expected to finish in the 300k range. Miranda Lambert’s The Weight of These Wings (RCA Nashville) will bow with 130-150k, nipping at Bruno's heels. If his brand is bigger than ever, why isn’t his sales- and-streaming forecast commensurate with this growth? Could it have to do with Bruno’s decision in May to end his longtime association with manager Brandon Creed, who’d guided the artist to superstardom? Bruno no longer has to pay a commission, but at what cost in big-picture terms? This appears to be yet another example of manager-less artists doing less well in the absence of professional artist management.
Metallica will debut on both our SPS and Sales chart at #1. Meanwhile, Pentatonix will see both their new holiday album and their previous seasonal set in the Album Sales Top 10 as tinsel time edges closer. Due to early pre Black Friday promotions, please expect a greater than usual margin of error.
