Hits Daily Double has slightly upgraded its opening week sales and consumption forecasts for The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “The Getaway.”<\/p>\n
The publication, which initially expected the album to sell 90-95,000 pure US copies and generate 100-105,000 in total consumption (pure album sales + track sales\/10 + track streams\/1500) this week, now projects 100-105,000 in pure sales and 110-115,000 in consumption.<\/p>\n
“The Getaway” was already considered a virtual lock to win the pure sales race, and the elevated figure serves as an exclamation point.<\/p>\n
The improved consumption figure, meanwhile, suggests “The Getaway” has a real chance of dethroning Drake’s “Views” on this week’s Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
“Views” generated 121,000 in consumption this past week, which marked a decline of 10% from the previous week’s total. A similar decline this week would put “Views” at around 109,000 in weekly units.<\/p>\n
There is, of course, no guarantee that “Views” will suffer precisely the same week-to-week decline, so it seems safe to project 105-115,000 in weekly consumption. That overlaps with the projected “Getaway” total and suggests Drake’s album will very much contend for an eighth straight week at #1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61353,"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":[54,1500,6569,6365],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
