The sum would easily position &#8220;This Is What The Truth Feels Like&#8221; at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart, thus giving Stefani her first weekly album sales victory as a solo artist.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of pure sales, other notable new releases this week will include:  Jordan Smith&#8217;s &#8220;Something Beautiful&#8221; (projection: ~33-38,000), Kane Brown&#8217;s &#8220;Chapter 1 &#8211; EP&#8221; (projection: ~21-24,000), Jaheim&#8217;s &#8220;Struggle Love&#8221; (projection: ~12-14,000), and Niykee Heaton&#8217;s &#8220;The Bedroom Tour Playlist&#8221; (projection: ~6-8,000).<\/p>\n<p>Iggy Pop&#8217;s &#8220;Post Pop Depression&#8221; and Bobby Bones &#038; The Raging Idiots&#8217; &#8220;The Critics Give It 5 Stars&#8221; also represent on-the-radar new releases, but projections were not available at press time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Truth&#8221; is also expected to take #1 on the Billboard 200, which accounts for the combination of pure album sales, TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500).  This would mark the artist&#8217;s first #1 on the 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":[6040,2232,6034,6041,5275,5196,6039,6032],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gwen Stefani Pacing To Win US Album Sales Race With 68-73K; Jordan Smith On Track For 33-38K<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gwen Stefani&#039;s new &quot;This Is What The Truth Feels Like&quot; is set to comfortably win the weekly US album sales race.
