Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” is not the only November 13 release pacing ahead of initial forecasts.
Per Hits Daily Double, Logic’s “The Incredible True Story” and Jeezy’s “Church In These Streets” will also outperform early week expectations.
Initially set at 85-90,000, the pure US sales projection for Logic’s album has been elevated to 100-110,000. The projection for Jeezy’s album, meanwhile, has been upgraded from 60-65,000 to 80-85,000.
With Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 unit) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 unit) included, Hits eyes a first-week consumption total of 105-115,000 units for “True Story” and 88-93,000 for “Church.”
Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” is expected to win the sales and consumption races with totals of 470-490,000 pure sales and 560-580,000 units, respectively. One Direction’s “Made In The AM” (410-430,000 | 460-480,000) will take #2.
