The combination of units from pure album sales, track sales, and track streams, the count will earn &#8220;I&#8217;m The Problem&#8221; a seventh consecutive week as America&#8217;s #1 overall album.<\/p>\n<p>Lorde&#8217;s &#8220;Virgin&#8221; looks headed for the runner-up spot on the Billboard 200. Hits has the album debuting with 63K total US units.<\/p>\n<p>Expected to account for 35K units, the pure sales figure should make &#8220;Virgin&#8221; the week&#8217;s <em>best-selling<\/em> album and yield a #1 bow on Billboard top Album Sales. The Wallen album, however, will ride its major edge in streaming to another week at #1 overall.<\/p>\n<p>Two other noteworthy debuts will come from Katseye (&#8220;Beautiful Chaos,&#8221; projected for 40K units) and Russ (&#8220;Wild,&#8221; projected for 31K units). Solid sellers in their own rights, both will generate more than half their opening-week activity from pure album sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;I&#8217;m The Problem&#8221; extends its dominant reign atop the Billboard 200.
