Lil Durk’s “Remember My Name” debuts at #14<\/a>)<\/p>\nBilly Currington’s “Summer Forever” debuted with a pure sales total of 21,000.
\n=============<\/p>\n
Thanks to a total more than three times as great as that posted by its nearest competitor, Florence + The Machine’s “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” cruises to victory in the weekly album sales race.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double, the new Florence album moved ~127,995 copies in its first week of release. While Billboard’s final, more authoritative data may differ slightly, its overall conclusion will be the same: “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” ranks as the week’s #1 album. It will debut atop 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 Florence + The Machine album boasts a first-week consumption total of ~138,139 units. That mark will earn it the #1 spot on the revamped Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
Other top albums from a pure sales standpoint include Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~34,280 sales), A$AP Rocky’s “At. Long. Last. A$AP” (~30,717), Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard’s “Django and Jimmie” (~30,017), Billy Currington’s “Summer Forever” (~23,540), Lil Durk’s “Remember My Name” (~23,469) and Jason Derulo’s “Everything is 4” (~22,605).<\/p>\n
