The former is projected to sell 72-77,000 pure US copies this week, while the latter should move 71-76,000.<\/p>\n<p>As it will benefit from stronger track sales (thanks to hit single &#8220;Setting The World On Fire&#8221;), the Chesney album is tracking slightly ahead in terms of total consumption.  Consumption, based on album sales + track sales\/10 + track streams\/1500, defines placement on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n<p>They will not be the only albums vying for #1 on the Billboard 200, however.  While projections are not yet available, Jeezy&#8217;s &#8220;Trap or Die 3&#8221; could very well be in the mix for #1 in the consumption race.<\/p>\n<p>Updated projections should be available soon.<\/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":[725,7682,7704,2458,4476,7703],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Avenged Sevenfold&#039;s &quot;The Stage,&quot; Kenny Chesney&#039;s &quot;Cosmic Hallelujah&quot; Pacing For 70K+ US Sales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A tight race is developing for #1 on this week&#039;s US album sales chart.
