\n=======<\/p>\n

While Lecrae’s “Anomaly” did not dominate the weekly album sales race, it claimed first place by a wider than anticipated margin.<\/p>\n

According to Hits Daily Double’s weekly sales listing, which typically differs only slightly from that officially reported by Billboard, “Anomaly” topped expectations–and the chart–with opening week sales of approximately 88,299.<\/p>\n

Maroon 5’s “V,” last week’s leader, followed in the #2 position with sales of approximately 78,650.<\/p>\n

Jhene Aiko’s new release “Souled Out,” which initially appeared capable of a #1 debut, settled for #3. Its estimated opening week total of 71,230 fell within the projected 70-75,000, but its failure to top that expectation kept it away from the weekly throne.<\/p>\n

Ryan Adams’ “Ryan Adams” and Lee Brice’s “I Don’t Dance” closed out Hits Daily Double’s top five with inaugural sales frames of about 40,478 and 39,280, respectively.<\/p>\n

Billboard will begin revealing its more authoritative sales data Wednesday morning.<\/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":[183,1047,206],"tags":[2887,176,2586,1209,2871,1602,2429,2710,2888,2841],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nLecrae's "Anomaly" Wins Sales Race; Tops Maroon 5, Jhene Aiko (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Billboard has confirmed that Lecrae's "Anomaly" was last week's best-selling album.
