Early sales projections have emerged for Tinashe’s “Joyride.”

Based on opening day sales data, Hits Daily Double expects the new album to sell 5-7K pure US copies this week. With TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) included, the album should generate 15-20,000 in total first-week consumption units.

Initial sales projections have been a bit rough as of late; readers are advised to check back later in the week for updated numbers.

With 2016’s “Nightride” formally classified as a mixtape, “Joyride” represents Tinashe’s sophomore album. It is the follow-up to 2014’s “Aquarius,” which sold 19K copies in its first week. It debuted at #19 on the then-sales-only Billboard 200.
