Update:<\/b> Billboard officially confirms that ScHoolboy Q’s “Blank Face LP” debuts at #1 on the Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n
Drake’s “Views,” however, earns a tenth non-consecutive week atop the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n
“Blank Face” sold what Billboard reports as 52,000 pure US copies during the July 8-14 tracking week. That easily ranks as the week’s best pure sales figure.<\/p>\n
The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) results in an opening week consumption total of 74,000 units. That is good enough for #2 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
Drake’s “Views,” which was #2 on last week’s chart, claims #1 on this week’s listing with 92,000 units.<\/p>\n
“Views” had spent its first nine weeks at #1 on the chart. It slipped to #2 last week to make way for Blink-182’s “California” but is now back to #1 for a tenth week.<\/p>\n
In the last 20 years, only nine other albums have spent ten weeks atop the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
“California” takes #3 on this week’s Billboard 200 with 37,000 units, while twenty one pilots’ “Blurryface” (#4, 36,000 units) and “Hamilton: An American Musical” (#5, 35,000 units) complete the Top 5.
\n============<\/p>\n
ScHoolboy Q’s “Blank Face LP” predictably cruised to victory in the weekly US album sales race.<\/p>\n
Drake’s “Views,” meanwhile, returns to #1 on the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double, “Blank Face LP” sold about 52,189 US copies during the July 8-14 tracking week. Billboard’s final data will differ slightly, but the discrepancy will not affect the ultimate conclusion: “Blank Face” will be the clear leader on this week’s Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n
With Track Equivalent Albums (track sales\/10) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (track streams\/1500) added to the pure sales total, “Blank Face” generated 77,143 in weekly consumption.<\/p>\n
The tally will position “Blank Face” at #2 on the consumption-oriented Billboard 200. Drake’s “Views,” which generated ~88,436 in weekly units, will earn a tenth, non-consecutive week on top.<\/p>\n
