Update:<\/b> Billboard just made the news official – Greta Van Fleet’s “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army” debuts at #1 on Billboard Top Album Sales, but Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” soundtrack keeps #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
“Anthem Of The Peaceful Army” sold what Billboard reports as 81K pure US copies during the October 19-25 tracking period. That ranks as the week’s best pure sales total.<\/p>\n
With units from track sales and streams included, it generated 87K in first-week consumption units. That figure positions the Greta Van Fleet album at #3 on the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n
“A Star Is Born” spends a third week at #1 with 109K units (61K from sales), while Future & Juice WRLD’s “WRLD ON Drugs” debuts at #2 with 98K units (8K from sales).
\n====<\/p>\n
This week’s US album race has apparently produced a split-chart scenario.<\/p>\n
Greta Van Fleet’s “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army” reportedly ranks as the leader in pure sales, but Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” rules for total consumption.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle, “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army” sold about 75K pure US copies during its first week of release.<\/p>\n
With TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1250 for paid services + track streams\/3750 for free services) included, it generated about 82K in total consumption units.<\/p>\n
Although the pure sales total ranks as the week’s best, the consumption figure trails the ~106K generated by “A Star Is Born” and ~98K earned by Future & Juice WRLD’s “WRLD On Drugs.”<\/p>\n
Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data may differ slightly from that reported by Hits. The discrepancy should not, however, impact the pure sales chart — “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army” will almost certainly rank as the week’s best-selling album. “A Star Is Born” should, meanwhile, retain the crown on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
