The full version of John Mayer’s “The Search For Everything” is pacing for a six-figure opening week sales total.
Based on opening day sales data, Hits Daily Double projects that “Search” will sell 105-110,000 pure US copies during its first week of release.
The inclusion of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) should yield an opening week consumption total of 110-120,000 units.
With Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN” posting dominant numbers, “The Search For Everything” has no shot at #1 on the Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts. It should still land high on both listings.
Mayer previewed the complete “The Search For Everything” by releasing two standalone EPs that contained tracks from the album. As each contained four tracks, they collectively comprised two-thirds of the album.
“The Search For Everything – Wave One” sold 38,000 pure US copies; “Wave Two” sold 26,000.
