Consistent with early forecasts, the sum blows away that achieved by any other release.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Frozen&#8221; soundtrack, which Hits says landed in second place, moved approximately 35,991 weekly copies.  Weird Al Yankovic&#8217;s &#8220;Mandatory Fun&#8221; and Sam Smith&#8217;s &#8220;In the Lonely Hour&#8221; followed with tentative sums of 32,613 and 31,146, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Common&#8217;s &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s Smiling&#8221; and Crown the Empire&#8217;s &#8220;The Resistance: Rise of the Runaways,&#8221; which debuted alongside the 5SOS album last week, scored estimated sales tallies of 23,118 and 18,727, respectively.  Both are expected to land in the top ten of Billboard&#8217;s 200 chart.<\/p>\n<p>Anberlin&#8217;s &#8220;Lowborn&#8221; debuted in the Top 20 with approximately 13,645 sales, while La Roux&#8217;s &#8220;Trouble in Paradise&#8221; presumably went Top 30 with 9,866.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"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],"tags":[1810,2604,2607,2608,2605],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>5 Seconds of Summer Wins Album Sales Race with ~259K<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Billboard&#039;s official weekly sales report is available, and it reveals the 5 Seconds of Summer album debuted at #1 with sales of 259,000. ========\" \/>\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\/2014\/07\/29\/5-seconds-summer-wins-album-sales-race-253k\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 Seconds of Summer Wins Album Sales Race with ~259K\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: Billboard&#039;s official weekly sales report is available, and it reveals the 5 Seconds of Summer album debuted at #1 with sales of 259,000. ========\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/07\/29\/5-seconds-summer-wins-album-sales-race-253k\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-07-29T21:09:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-07-30T15:56:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5-Seconds-of-Summer-Album.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"565\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\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\/2014\/07\/29\/5-seconds-summer-wins-album-sales-race-253k\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/07\/29\/5-seconds-summer-wins-album-sales-race-253k\/\",\"name\":\"5 Seconds of Summer Wins Album Sales Race with ~259K\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-07-29T21:09:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-07-30T15:56:32+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: Billboard's official weekly sales report is available, and it reveals the 5 Seconds of Summer album debuted at #1 with sales of 259,000. ========\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/07\/29\/5-seconds-summer-wins-album-sales-race-253k\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; 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.
