Projections are predictably rough due to the current marketplace climate, but one thing seems pretty clear: The Weeknd’s “After Hours” will be the week’s #1 album.<\/p>\n

Based on early data, Hits Daily Double expects the album to debut with over 400K in total first-week US consumption units. Upwards of 200K should come from album sales, with the remaining units attributable to units from track streams and sales (almost entirely streams).<\/p>\n

Should the 400K+ figure hold, “After Hours” will challenge BTS’ “Map Of The Soul: 7” for the biggest debut year-to-date. The BTS album debuted at #1 with 422K units in late February.<\/p>\n

In terms of studio LPs, “After Hours” is the follow-up to The Weeknd’s chart-topping 2016 release “Starboy.” In between, he hit #1 with his EP “My Dear Melancholy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“After Hours” will be the week’s #1 album.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":138820,"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":[183,1047,206],"tags":[13464,791],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nEarly US Projections Say The Weeknd's "After Hours" Is Pacing For 200K+ US Sales, 400K+ Total US Units<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Projections are predictably rough due to the current marketplace climate, but one thing seems pretty clear: The Weeknd's "After Hours" will be the week's\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/03\/21\/early-us-projections-say-the-weeknds-after-hours-is-pacing-for-200k-us-sales-400k-total-us-units\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Early US Projections Say The Weeknd's "After Hours" Is Pacing For 200K+ US Sales, 400K+ Total US Units\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Projections are predictably rough due to the current marketplace climate, but one thing seems pretty clear: The Weeknd's "After Hours" will be the week's\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/03\/21\/early-us-projections-say-the-weeknds-after-hours-is-pacing-for-200k-us-sales-400k-total-us-units\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-03-21T20:15:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The-Weeknd-After-Hours.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"646\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/03\/21\/early-us-projections-say-the-weeknds-after-hours-is-pacing-for-200k-us-sales-400k-total-us-units\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/03\/21\/early-us-projections-say-the-weeknds-after-hours-is-pacing-for-200k-us-sales-400k-total-us-units\/\",\"name\":\"Early US Projections Say The Weeknd's \\\"After Hours\\\" Is Pacing For 200K+ US Sales, 400K+ Total US Units\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-03-21T20:15:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-03-21T20:15:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Projections are predictably rough due to the current marketplace climate, but one thing seems pretty clear: The Weeknd's \\\"After Hours\\\" will be the week's\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/03\/21\/early-us-projections-say-the-weeknds-after-hours-is-pacing-for-200k-us-sales-400k-total-us-units\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
