An initial sales projection has emerged for Lea Michele’s “Places.”
Based on data from its first few days in the market, Hits Daily Double expects the album to reach 13-15,000 sales by the end of the April 28-May 4 tracking period.
The inclusion of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) should yield a first-week consumption figure in the 14-16,000 range.
“Places” is the follow-up to “Louder,” which sold 62,000 pure US copies in its first week. The count was enough for #4 on the then-sales-only Billboard 200.
Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN.” is expected to retain the #1 position on this week’s Billboard 200 (which now measures overall consumption). Gorillaz’ new “Humanz” should lead the pure sales chart.
