According to Billboard<\/a>, “folklore” had surpassed 500K in total consumption units by the end of Sunday, July 26 — its third day in the market.<\/p>\nThe consumption figure accounts for album sales, as well as equivalent units from track sales and track streams. Although “folklore” is performing very well on the streaming front, the majority of its units are coming from album sales. “Folklore,” accordingly, has also already set a new 2020 high mark for album sales.<\/p>\n
Credited with 497K units, Juice WRLD’s “Legends Never Die” recently set the standard for biggest opening week consumption total in 2020. BTS’ February 2020 album “Map Of The Soul: 7” held the previous album sales high with 347K.<\/p>\n
“Folklore” is obviously a lock to debut at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 (consumption) and Top Album Sales (just album sales) charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Folklore” already boasts the year’s biggest opening week sales and consumption totals.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142268,"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":[13939,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
