Reneé Rapp’s sophomore album “Bite Me” enjoyed a strong opening week in the United States, ranking as the leader in pure sales and a Top 3 performer in overall activity.
According to Hits Daily Double, the new album sold 46K pure US copies during the August 1-7 tracking period. With units from track sales and streams included, it generated 65K in total first-week consumption.
The pure sales figure ranks as the week’s best, and will earn the album a #1 debut on Billboard Top Album Sales. The consumption figure should be good enough for a #3 debut on the Billboard 200, beneath Morgan Wallen’s “I’m The Problem” and the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack.
Credited with another 136K tracking period units, “I’m The Problem” will earn a 10th non-consecutive week at #1.
