Consistent with mid-week projections, Bruce Springsteen and Luke Combs split top honors in this week’s US album race.<\/p>\n

Springsteen takes #1 for US album sales with “Letter To You.” Combs’ “What You See Is What You Get,” however, rules for overall consumption.<\/p>\n

According to Hits Daily Double, “Letter To You” sold 79K US copies during the October 23-29 tracking week. The total more than triples that achieved by any other album.<\/p>\n

With units from track sales and streams included, the Bruce album generated 84K in total first-week US consumption. The figure positions “Letter To You” at #2 overall.<\/p>\n

Combs’ “What You See Is What You Get,” powered by the release of the deluxe edition (“What You See Ain’t Always What You Get”), soars back to #1 overall with 107K in total consumption. According to Hits, the album received about 24K units from album sales, nearly 11K units from track sales, and 72K units from track streams.<\/p>\n

The track sales and streaming numbers by far rank as the best achieved by any album project this week. The track sales figure earns that distinction by many multiples – Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours,” its closest competitor, did about 1.5K in track equivalent album units this week.<\/p>\n

“What You See” previously hit #1 in conjunction with the original edition’s release this past fall.<\/p>\n

Due Sunday, Billboard’s numbers may differ slightly from those reported by Hits. The discrepancies should not, however, be nearly enough to change the overall chart breakdown: “Letter To You” will take #1 for sales, and “What You See” will take #1 for overall activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Letter To You” and “What You See Is What You Get” split top honors.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":144031,"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":[1495,14177,7657,14182,13094],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nBruce Springsteen's "Letter To You" Rules US Sales Race, But Luke Combs' "What You See" Claims #1 Overall<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Consistent with mid-week projections, Bruce Springsteen and Luke Combs split top honors in this week's US album race.
