Update:<\/strong> Fall Out Boy’s “American Beauty\/American Psycho” tops the weekly album sales chart on the strength of 192,000 sales. The weekly total is thus far 2015’s second best.<\/p>\n

With track equivalent album and streaming equivalent album data included, the album’s opening week consumption unit total is 218,000. That slots the album at the top of the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

This week’s Billboard 200 top ten:
\n1) Fall Out Boy – American Beauty\/American Psycho – 218K total units (192K were pure sales)
\n2) Taylor Swift – 1989 – 119K total units
\n3) Meghan Trainor – Title – 86K total units
\n4) Ed Sheeran – x – 76K total units
\n5) Joey Bada$$ – B4.Da.$$ – 58K total units (54K were pure sales)
\n6) Nicki Minaj – The Pinkprint – 54K total units
\n7) The Decemberists – What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World – 51K total units (49K were pure sales)
\n8) Marilyn Manson – The Pale Emperor – 51K total units (49K were pure sales)
\n9) Sam Smith – In the Lonely Hour – 50K total units
\n10) Mark Ronson – Uptown Special – 49K total units
\n===============<\/p>\n

Powered by what is thus far 2015’s strongest weekly sales figure, Fall Out Boy’s “American Beauty\/American Psycho” debuts at #1 on the weekly album sales chart.<\/p>\n

The album moved approximately 204,063 copies in its first week of release, says Hits Daily Double. Nearly 100,000 of those purchases were secured during the album’s pre-order phase.<\/p>\n

Billboard’s final data will differ slightly from that reported by Hits, but it will not convey a different result. Fall Out Boy’s “American Beauty\/American Psycho” was indeed last week’s best-selling album.<\/p>\n

It will also be the #1 album on the revamped Billboard 200, which represents total consumption. With sales, track equivalent albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and streaming equivalent albums (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) all included, “American Beauty\/American Psycho” claims a weekly total of roughly 227,348 total consumption units.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~81,471 pure sales, ~116,891 total consumption units) and Meghan Trainor’s “Title” (~53,326 pure sales, ~85,619 total consumption units) are likely to appear as the #2 and #3 albums, respectively, on Billboard’s Top Album Sales and 200 charts.<\/p>\n

Look for Joey Bada$$’ “B4.DA.$$,” (~50,956 pure sales), Marilyn Manson’s “The Pale Emperor” (~46,410 pure sales) and the Grammy nominees album (~46,365 pure sales) to fill the next three spots on the total album sales chart. “B4.DA.$$” (~54,956 total consumption units), Nicki Minaj’s “The Pinkprint” (~51,241 total consumption units) and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Special” (~49,894 total consumption units) will rank highly on the revamped Billboard 200.<\/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":[3447,3560,1174,74,3507,3509,3144,2474,288,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nFall Out Boy's "American Beauty\/American Psycho" Wins Sales Race with 192K (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Fall Out Boy's "American Beauty\/American Psycho" tops the weekly album sales chart on the strength of 192,000 sales.
