The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) should yield a first-week consumption total of 200-225,000.<\/p>\n<p>Early projections have been less accurate since the switch to a Friday-Thursday tracking week, and the extent to which the Hits projections account for the ticket\/album bundles is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it seems very safe to conclude that &#8220;Witness&#8221; will be #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales (pure sales) and Billboard 200 (consumption) charts.  No other album is expected to come close to a six-figure total this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Witness&#8221; is the follow-up to Perry&#8217;s 2013 &#8220;PRISM,&#8221; which debuted at #1 on the then-sales-only Billboard 200.
