Billboard confirms a split US albums chart scenario this week. A Day To Remember’s “Bad Vibrations” grabs #1 on Top Album Sales, while Travi$ Scott’s “Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight” earns the top spot on the Billboard 200.
“Bad Vibrations” wins the weekly US sales race thanks to what Billboard reports as 62K pure US sales.
The inclusion of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) yields a consumption total of 67K for the A Day To Remember album. That is enough for #2 on the Billboard 200.
Scott’s album leads with 88K total units, 53K of which come from pure sales (enough for #2 on Top Album Sales). Since only one album track was available for individual purchase, the majority of the extra units come from Apple Music SEA.
Drake’s “Views” (#3), “Suicide Squad: The Album” (#4), and Florida Georgia Line’s “Dig Your Roots” (#5) complete the Top 5 on this week’s Billboard 200.
