Update:<\/b> With an additional day’s worth of sales data at their disposal, industry sources have slightly downgraded their projection for Fifth Harmony’s “Reflection.”<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Hits Daily Double, projections now say “Reflection” will have moved roughly 55-60,000 copies by the end of its first\u00a0tracking week. That total should net the album the #3 spot on the weekly Top Album Sales chart; “NOW 53” (~90-95,000) and Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~70-75,000) will land higher.<\/em><\/p>\n

Due to slightly better than expected track sales and streaming, the album’s overall consumption unit projection has not been reduced. With pure album sales, track equivalent albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and streaming equivalent albums (1500 single streams= 1 album sale) all included, “Reflection” is still set to post a consumption unit count in the 70-75,000 range.<\/em><\/p>\n

If that forecast holds, “Reflection” will\u00a0land at #4 or #5 on the revamped Billboard 200. Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~95-100,000 total units), “NOW 53” (~90-95,000 total units) and Ed Sheeran’s “x” (80-85,000 total units) will\u00a0all fare better. Depending on late Grammy movement, Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour” (~70-75,000 total units) might also pull ahead.<\/em>
\n===============<\/p>\n

The #1 album on iTunes will not win the overall weekly sales race, but it will get off to a respectable start.<\/p>\n

According to Hits Daily Double, Fifth Harmony’s “Reflection” is pacing to move 60-65,000 copies during its inaugural week of release.<\/p>\n

As far as newcomers go, the album will rank second behind the NOW 53 compilation (~90K first week sales). Taylor Swift’s holdover “1989” will also be in the mix at the top of the Billboard Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n

With track equivalent album (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and streaming equivalent album (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) data included, the “Reflection” consumption total will land in the ballpark of 70-75,000 units.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned “1989” and NOW 53 will claim higher weekly unit totals and thus land higher on the revamped Billboard 200. Ed Sheeran’s “x” also might do so.<\/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":[314,1018,3599,3195,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nFifth Harmony's "Reflection" Pacing for 55-60,000 First Week Sales (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: With an additional day's worth of sales data at their disposal, industry sources have slightly downgraded their projection for Fifth Harmony's\" \/>\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\/2015\/02\/04\/fifth-harmonys-reflection-pacing-60-65k-first-week-sales\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fifth Harmony's "Reflection" Pacing for 55-60,000 First Week Sales (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: With an additional day's worth of sales data at their disposal, industry sources have slightly downgraded their projection for Fifth Harmony's\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/02\/04\/fifth-harmonys-reflection-pacing-60-65k-first-week-sales\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-02-04T22:16:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-02-06T00:33:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Fifth-Harmony-New-Years-e1420215298744.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1168\" \/>\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\/2015\/02\/04\/fifth-harmonys-reflection-pacing-60-65k-first-week-sales\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/02\/04\/fifth-harmonys-reflection-pacing-60-65k-first-week-sales\/\",\"name\":\"Fifth Harmony's \\\"Reflection\\\" Pacing for 55-60,000 First Week Sales (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-02-04T22:16:48+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-02-06T00:33:36+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: With an additional day's worth of sales data at their disposal, industry sources have slightly downgraded their projection for Fifth Harmony's\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/02\/04\/fifth-harmonys-reflection-pacing-60-65k-first-week-sales\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & 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.
