Further solidifying their status as superstars, the members of KATSEYE will secure an impressive #1 debut on this week’s US album charts.
According to Hits Daily Double, the group’s “WILD” EP will start with 145K US album sales. With units from track sales and streams included, it will close the August 14-20 tracking period with 169K in total first-week US consumption.
The former figure will position “WILD” as the clear #1 on Billboard Top Album Sales, while the latter will result in a first-place finish on the Billboard 200.
— Phoebe Bridgers’ “Lost Weekend,” another high-profile new release, will start at #2 on both charts. Hits forecasts a debut album sales total of 70K; the unit figure should clock in at around 111K.
