Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” Wins Third US Sales Race, Will Remain #1 On Billboard 200

“reputation” spends a third week as the #1 album in America.

Taylor Swift’s “reputation” predictably continues its reign as the best-selling and most-consumed album in America.

According to Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle, “reputation” sold approximately 140,714 pure US copies during the November 24-30 tracking period (its third week of release).

With TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500, for the four available tracks) included, “reputation” generated about 157,527 in tracking week consumption units.

Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data may differ from that reported by Hits and BuzzAngle. The discrepancies should not, however, be enough to affect the overall outcomes.

The pure sales figure will earn “reputation” a third consecutive week atop the Billboard Top Album Sales chart, while the consumption figure will be enough for #1 on the Billboard 200.

This week’s pure sales leaders (via Hits/Buzzangle):
Taylor Swift – reputation (140,714 pure US sales)
Garth Brooks – Anthology Part 1 (57,376)
Pentatonix – A Pentatonix Christmas (55,272)
