The artist behind one of the year’s big rhythmic hits will open modestly on the album sales chart.
Based on opening day sales data, Hits Daily Double projects Tinashe’s “Aquarius” to move between 17,000 and 20,000 copies during its inaugural week of release.
If that estimate holds, the album will rank in the #7-#10 range among new releases this week.
Jason Aldean’s “Old Boots, New Dirt” (Hits forecasts 290-310K), Hozier’s “Hozier” (50-55,000), Weezer’s “Everything Will be Alright in the End” (30-35,000), Alex and Sierra’s “It’s About Us” (28-32,000), Stevie Nicks’ “24K Gold” (25-28,000) and Keyshia Cole’s “Point of No Return” (22-25,000) will all start higher on the Billboard 200.
Jackson Browne’s “Standing in the Breach” and New Found Glory’s “Resurrection” are pacing for the same 17-20,000, while Sixx:AM’s “Modern Vintage” will be in the mix with 15-18,000.
2014 has nonetheless been kind to Tinashe. “2 On (featuring ScHoolBoy Q),” her breakthrough solo single, reached the peak of rhythmic radio and a high of #24 on the Hot 100.
