Big Sean x Jhene Aiko’s “TWENTY88,” Lukas Graham’s “Lukas Graham,” and Weezer’s “Weezer (White Album)” all arrived Friday.<\/p>\n
Based on early sales data, all are expected to post first week US sales totals in the vicinity of 30-40,000.<\/p>\n
Hits Daily Double projects “TWENTY88” to land in the upper half of that range (35-40,000); “Lukas Graham” and “Weezer” are currently pacing for first week figures between 30-35,000.<\/p>\n
Given the success of single “7 Years,” the Lukas Graham album should nonetheless own an advantage in the consumption category (album sales + track sales\/10 + track streams\/1500). “7 Years” could provide an additional 10-15,000 units based on its track sales alone.<\/p>\n
— In terms of the overall market, one should keep an eye on Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller.” Stapleton will reportedly receive exposure during the CBS Sunday Morning show; he will then perform — and potentially win awards — during Sunday night’s ACM Awards broadcast<\/p>\n
Both should (perhaps significantly) boost an album that has already selling upwards of 20-25,000 US copies per week.<\/p>\n
She will not receive such a boost, but Adele’s “25” may also land in the same 30-40,000 territory as the new releases.<\/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":[726,4085,1209,5405,4119,6164,2585,6165],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
