what Billboard reports<\/a> as 63K pure US copies this week. That convincingly ranks as the week’s best pure sales total — and thus earns the new album the pinnacle position on Top Album Sales.<\/p>\nAs it only received a negligible amount of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500), it also debuts with 63K in overall consumption units. That figure is enough for #3 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
Far stronger from a TEA and SEA standpoint, “Bobby Tarantino II” takes #1 on the Billboard 200 with 119K total units (32K from album sales).<\/p>\n
Lil Yachty’s “Lil Boat 2” debuts at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 64K units, while “Black Panther: The Album” slips to #4 with 63K.<\/p>\n
Credited with 49K units, Judas Priest’s “Firepower” debuts at #5.
\n====
\nThis week’s US album race yields a split-chart scenario.<\/p>\n
David Byrne’s new “American Utopia” leads for pure sales, but Logic’s “Bobby Tarantino II” mixtape claims victory for overall consumption.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle, “American Utopia” sold approximately 58,075 pure US copies this week. The figure was boosted by an concert ticket-album bundle (albums redeemed as part of the promotion count toward sales).<\/p>\n
While “Bobby Tarantino II” only sold ~30,118 pure US copies, it received a far bigger lift from TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500). The summation of sales, TEA and SEA yields a first-week consumption total of ~116,895 total US units.<\/p>\n
Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data may differ slightly from that reported by Hits. The discrepancies should not, however, be enough to change the landscape atop either chart.<\/p>\n
The pure sales total should earn “American Utopia” #1 on Billboard Top Album Sales, while the consumption tally should position “Bobby Tarantino II” atop the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
