Update:<\/b> When it comes to sales for the week’s key albums, there was a greater-than-usual discrepancy between the Hits\/BuzzAngle data and the more authoritative Billboard data.<\/p>\n

The hierarchy atop the chart is the same, however. Metallica’s “Hardwired … To Self-Destruct” takes #1 on Top Album Sales and the Billboard 200. Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” debuts at #2 on both charts, while Miranda Lambert’s “The Weight Of These Wings” earns #3.<\/p>\n

According to Billboard<\/a>, “Hardwire” sold 282,000 pure US copies during the November 18-24 tracking week. The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) yields a first-week consumption total of 291,000 units.<\/p>\n

The former figure positions “Hardwired” at #1 on Top Album Sales, while the latter figure is enough for #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

“24K Magic” takes #2 on the Billboard 200 with 231,000 units (194K from pure sales), while “The Weight Of These Wings” grabs #3 with 133,000 units (122K from sales).
\n===<\/p>\n

Making good on projections, Metallica’s “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” easily won the weekly US album sales and consumption races.<\/p>\n

According to BuzzAngle\/Hits, “Hardwired” sold approximately 295,113 pure US copies during the November 18-24 tracking week. The count 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 a first-week consumption total of ~305,688 units. That figure easily ranks as the week’s best consumption sum.<\/p>\n

Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data will differ slightly from that reported by BuzzAngle. The discrepancy will not, however, change the outcomes: the sales figure will earn “Hardwired” #1 on Top Album Sales, while the latter will grab the album #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

This week’s other notable pure sales performers: Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” (~189,745 sales), Miranda Lambert’s “The Weight Of These Wings” (~134,415 sales), Pentatonix’s “A Pentatonix Christmas” (~79,858 sales), Garth Brooks’ “The Ultimate Collection” (~57,756 sales)<\/p>\n

This week’s other notable consumption performers: “24K Magic” (~224,413 units), “The Weight Of These Wings” (~146,413 units), “A Pentatonix Christmas” (~85,972 units), “The Ultimate Collection” (~57,756 units)<\/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":[1316,117,1142,7837],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nMetallica's "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct" Wins US Sales Race, Claims #1 On Billboard 200<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: When it comes to sales for the week's key albums, there was a greater-than-usual discrepancy between the Hits\/BuzzAngle data and the more\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/11\/25\/metallicas-hardwired-self-destruct-easily-wins-us-sales-race-will-claim-1-billboard-200\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Metallica's "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct" Wins US Sales Race, Claims #1 On Billboard 200\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: When it comes to sales for the week's key albums, there was a greater-than-usual discrepancy between the Hits\/BuzzAngle data and the more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/11\/25\/metallicas-hardwired-self-destruct-easily-wins-us-sales-race-will-claim-1-billboard-200\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-25T20:39:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-11-28T17:08:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Metallica-Tonight-Show-2-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"666\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/11\/25\/metallicas-hardwired-self-destruct-easily-wins-us-sales-race-will-claim-1-billboard-200\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/11\/25\/metallicas-hardwired-self-destruct-easily-wins-us-sales-race-will-claim-1-billboard-200\/\",\"name\":\"Metallica's \\\"Hardwired...To Self-Destruct\\\" Wins US Sales Race, Claims #1 On Billboard 200\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-11-25T20:39:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-28T17:08:32+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: When it comes to sales for the week's key albums, there was a greater-than-usual discrepancy between the Hits\/BuzzAngle data and the more\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/11\/25\/metallicas-hardwired-self-destruct-easily-wins-us-sales-race-will-claim-1-billboard-200\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
