Zach Bryan’s new self-titled album will make a major splash this week, yielding the artist his first #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double, the buzzy release should close the August 25-31 tracking period with about 185K US units. Without physical editions yet available, album sales will make up a modest ~16K of that unit total. Most of the balance will come from the album’s stellar streaming activity.<\/p>\n
Travis Scott’s “Utopia,” which has spent the past four weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200, will likely fall to #2 this week. Hits projects a unit total in the 97K range.<\/p>\n
The album may, however, win for album sales — it is projected to move 35K copies. Fueled by a new vinyl round, Tyler, The Creator’s “Call Me If You Get Lost” will likely be the closest challenger on the sales front; Hits eyes 30K tracking period copies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A look at this week’s US album race.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":162392,"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":[6666,4002,15513],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
