In a rare positional deviation from the preliminary Hits Daily Double data, Billboard reports that Adele’s “25” — not Future’s “EVOL” — takes #1 on this week’s Billboard Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n
The Future album, however, led the consumption-oriented Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
According to Nielsen Music, “25” sold 102,000 US copies during the February 5-11 tracking week. The new Future album sold 99,957 within that same window.<\/p>\n
Track Equivalent Albums (track sales\/10) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (track streams\/1500), however, thrust “EVOL” to #1 on the Billboard 200. With TEA and SEA added to its pure sales total, “EVOL” generated 134,000 units of first week consumption. “25” drove 121,000 weekly units.<\/p>\n
“EVOL” is Future’s third Billboard 200 #1 in seven months. In that span, he also topped the chart with his own “DS2” and with his Drake collaboration “What A Time To Be Alive.”<\/p>\n
