Yes.

143K for #1. Absolute tragedy.

Yes

Okay thanks!

If the commercial for Hozier is counted, would he get the #1?

RIP Shake It Off.

Country Music Association boycott on Taylor.

Welcome To New York.

What?

So there really WERE that many people who were too lazy to pre-order but chose to Complete My Album at the last second instead? Boo to them.

Will the amount sold this week still count towards overall sales for SIO?

[Gee]

When someone hits the Complete My Album feature on iTunes anything already purchased counts as a return.

So it's like negative sales pretty much.

the commercial is 10 million which is equivalent to 200k in sales. Plus he has the streaming for the official music video and other miscellaneous videos. We might be looking at nearly 20 million from streaming alone?

In addition, I think he's in the top 5 on spotify this week. Can someone confirm that?

My take is that it will be a 3-way battle for #1

AATB
SIO
and Hozier.

You buy a track from a particular album on Itunes then the sale gets counted but when the album is released and you decide to buy entire album. The sale of the track is deducted from the total sale. CMA = Complete My Album

The pre orders, the cma thing. They should fix it

Not even close. He will be lucky to be Top 10 tbh, so don't worry about Hozier

I think RIAA counts it but not Soundscan
