Update: Nielsen Music confirms that Little Mix’s “Get Weird” sold 21,853 US copies during the November 6-12 tracking week. It was the week’s ninth-best-selling album.
News on its Billboard 200 ranking, which will account for the sum of the aforementioned sales total, Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 unit) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 unit), will be available by Tuesday.
===================
Little Mix’s “Get Weird” officially launched on November 6.
By the end of its week of availability, it had sold roughly 22,000 pure copies in the United States.
Hits Daily Double, which offers a preliminary sales report each week, credits “Get Weird” with approximately 22,008 copies during the November 6-12 tracking week.
Billboard’s more authoritative sales figure, due by early next week, will not precisely match that reported by Hits. The disparity between the two numbers will, however, be of the slight variety.
With Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 unit) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 unit) added to the mix, Hits estimates that “Get Weird” generated approximately 27,453 first week consumption units.
The consumption total will inform the album’s Billboard 200 position. Based on Hits’ calculation, that position should fall in the #10-15 range.
“Get Weird” is the follow-up to “Salute,” which sold 43,000 first-week copies in the US. The group’s debut album “DNA” moved 50,000.
