Report: Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Dedicated” Debuts With 13K US Sales, 21K Total US Units

How well did “Dedicated” sell during its first week of release?

Opening week US sales and consumption numbers are now available for Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Dedicated.”

According to Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle, the album sold about 13K pure US copies during the May 17-23 tracking period. With units from track sales and streams included, it generated 21K in total first-week consumption.

Billboard’s numbers, which are due next week, should be in the same ballpark.

“Dedicated” is the follow-up to Jepsen’s critically acclaimed “E-MO-TION” album. That release, which debuted at #16 for overall consumption, debuted with fewer total units but more pure sales.

The “Dedicated” release-week campaign included a performance on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”
