The Billboard and Hits Daily Double album charts feature the same two albums in the top positions.<\/p>\n

Josh Groban’s new “Bridges” takes #1 for pure sales and #2 for total units\/ Brockhampton’s debuting “Iridescence” meanwhile earns #1 for total units and #2 for pure sales.<\/p>\n

Both Hits and Billboard say that “Bridges” sold 94K pure US copies during the September 21-27 tracking period. With TEA (units from track sales) and SEA (units from track streams) included, the album generated 96K in total consumption.<\/p>\n

Hits says that “Iridescence” generated 106K units, with 83K coming from pure sales. Billboard reports the numbers as 101K and 79K, respectively.<\/p>\n

Based on those tallies, “Bridges” earns #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales and Hits Daily Double pure sales charts. “Iridescence” meanwhile earns #2 on those charts.<\/p>\n

The Brockhampton album meanwhile earns #1 on the Billboard 200 and Hits Top 50 consumption charts; “Bridges” is the runner-up for consumption.<\/p>\n

Both albums benefited from promotional bundles. “Bridges” received a sales boost courtesy of a concert ticket\/album promotion (redeemed albums count as sales). “Iridescence” generated a considerable number of album sales via direct-to-consumer bundles on the group’s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have a split-chart scenario, as “Bridges” wins for pure sales but “Iridescence” leads for total units.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":118638,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[10176,4058],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nJosh Groban's "Bridges" Wins US Sales Race, But Brockhampton's "Iridescence" Takes #1 On Billboard 200<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Billboard and Hits Daily Double album charts feature the same two albums in the top positions.
