Update:<\/b> New sales projections have emerged. Metallica’s album is tracking even better than initially expected, while Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” — not Miranda Lambert’s release — is now poised for #2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Metallica’s “Hardwired … To Self-Destruct” is on track to convincingly win the weekly US album sales race. It will also claim #1 on the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n

Based on early sales data, Hits Daily Double projects Metallica’s album to sell 250-270,000 pure US copies during the tracking week. The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) should result in an opening week consumption total of 260-280,000 units.<\/p>\n

Hits’ sales projections have not been as accurate as usual in recent weeks, but there is ultimately little doubt that Metallica will claim #1 on Top Album Sales (thanks to the sales figure) and Billboard 200 (thanks to the consumption tally).<\/p>\n

This week’s other notable releases include Miranda Lambert’s “The Weight Of These Wings” (projected for ~135-145K pure sales, 145-155K units) and Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” (~110-120K sales, 140-150K units). The Bruno Mars album could receive a lift following his performance at Sunday’s American Music Awards, but it will not threaten “Hardwired … To Self-Destruct.”<\/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":[7544,40,7836,912,117,7837],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nMetallica's "Hardwired To Self-Destruct" Pacing To Win US Sales Race; Miranda Lambert, Bruno Mars To Follow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: New sales projections have emerged.
