The #1 for a third week thing though is a kind of weak stat to use considering it's only going to be #1 due to Work's success, not for album sales, and since this is a relatively new rule, that stat unfairly equates it to other previous albums that didn't have the benefit of a hit song boosting it's album position, achieving feats like multiple weeks at #1. It's likely that in the future, an album going #1 again months after release from single-streaming will be normalized but right now it's odd.
Considering the lack of promo, the current sales climate, the Samsung giveaway, and the fact that it was released in Q1, it's doing well so far. It's selling effortlessly right now, it'll end up selling 2M+ WW.
Also weren't the Navy the same ones that dragged and discredited Drunk In Love after it went number 2 after the Grammy performance? Funny how the tables turned .....
The album has sold 300k in 3 months that's a flop and The Navy really need to accept it and stop living in denial.
355k* after 1M+ copies were given away....it's the 2nd best selling album released in 2016 so far (after Blackstar)....also has the 2nd largest first week sales of 2016 after Kendrick...
