Poor numbers for Macklemore. He probably could've had a better era with stronger material (I think interest from the GP was still there).

Not surprised by The 1975. Same reason Halsey beat expectations too: appeal to Tumblr girls trying to be edgy or whatnot.

[Mezter]

Well, that what he gets for not releasing Growing Up instead of that tragic Downtown. And for pandering

[Jeiboy]

Releasing that song for free with Ed Sheeran was a POOR MOVE for Macklemore and RL

Go 1975! Anyone know how much their debut sold?

I read somewhere that it sold 1mil WW but that's probably really inflated. I think it's around 800k.

I think everyone knew Macklemore and Ryan Lewis would be one-hit wonders...

Mac had no hit singles, no promo, or any hype for this album so his number aren't bad at all. I doubt he cares about commercial success anyways. I haven't listened to the 1975 yet but congrats none the less.

MTV Video Music Awards
MTV Europe Music Awards
American Music Awards

What else do you need?

[accelgors]

aw, i wanted mack to do well. maybe he'll have a hit again eventually. oh well. still way better than iggy

also, the more i see the 1975's album title the more dumb it looks to me. it's so obvious they just want to be fall out boy. i hope the album itself doesn't sound like them too

ok good

[hellocory]

The 1975's sound for this album is 80s pop and glam rock and of course alt. pop and alt. rock. There's also some gospel and folk on the album

[One Nation]

Hopefully ANTI can remain in the 70-80k range

[Popboi.]

I'm sure The 1975 will overperform on SEA.

poor macklemore and ryan lewis

Really crossing my fingers for The 1975, I think they're way overestimating Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, that album's a clear flop.

Looks like I was right

[blackbeatxx]

Top 3 gonna be
1. 1975 108k (115k SPS)
2. Adele 78k (93k SPS)
3. Rihanna 30k (79k SPS)

[Starkboy]

Dirty Hit/Interscope's The 1975 will easily hit #1 on this week's HITS sales and SPS charts. The band's bow will double Macklemore’s numbers and beat chart champ Adele by at least 20k.

The 1975 (Dirty Hit/Interscope) 95-105k album, 105-115k SPS
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 40-45k, 50-55k
Bonnie Raitt (Redwing) 21-24k, 22-25k
Anthrax (Megaforce) 20-23k, 21-24k

Adele is probably selling 75k pure sales.
Macklemore decreasing.

[Temporal]

Where is their Kelly prediction?

I think she can outdo Macklemore with SPS.
