Update:<\/b> Billboard has made the news official: Pentatonix’s “A Pentatonix Christmas” spends a second week at #1 on Top Album Sales and the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
It tops the former with what Billboard reports as 82K pure US sales. Its victory on the latter comes thanks to a consumption total (pure album sales + track sales\/10 + track streams\/1500) of 101K.<\/p>\n
The Weeknd’s “Starboy” is #2 on the BB200 with 94K in weekly consumption units. Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” takes #3 with 81K, while J. Cole’s “4 Your Eyez Only” (#4, 75K) and the “Hamilton” cast recording (#5, 54K) complete the Top 5.
\n===<\/p>\n
Pentatonix’s “A Pentatonix Christmas” was the USA’s best-selling album during the week leading up to Christmas.<\/p>\n
It was also the best-selling album during the week that included Christmas.<\/p>\n
According to BuzzAngle\/Hits, “A Pentatonix Christmas” sold approximately 81,458 pure US copies during the December 23-29 tracking week. The count comfortably ranks as the week’s best.<\/p>\n
With TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) included, “A Pentatonix Christmas” generated ~100,621 total weekly consumption units. That count is also the week’s best, although its margin of victory is not quite as significant.<\/p>\n
Due Monday, Billboard’s more authoritative data will differ slightly from that reported by BuzzAngle. The discrepancy should not, however, be enough to change the pure sales outcome: “A Pentatonix Christmas” will retain its #1 position on Top Album Sales.<\/p>\n
The album’s consumption (Billboard 200) victory should also hold, although fans should wait until the Billboard data arrives before officially commencing celebration.<\/p>\n
