From the onset of the week, it seemed clear DJ Khaled’s “Major Key” was headed for a #1 debut on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n
Drake’s enduring “Views,” however, seemed set to retain its #1 position on the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n
New data paints a more favorable picture of “Major Key.” Not simply set for a convincing win in the pure sales race, DJ Khaled’s new studio album is also the frontrunner to win the consumption battle.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double, “Major Key” is now expected to sell 60-65,000 pure US copies during the July 29-August 4 tracking week. The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) should result in a consumption tally of 90-100,000.<\/p>\n
With “Views” expected to generate 75-85,000 in weekly consumption, “Major Key” appears poised for a #1 bow on the Billboard 200. This would mark only the second time — in fourteen weeks of release — that “Views” missed #1.<\/p>\n
Save for the album’s official singles — one of which, “For Free,” features Drake — “Major Key” is presently exclusive to Apple Music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62116,"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":[1027,54,6973,6365],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
