This week’s US album race ends in a split-chart scenario.<\/p>\n

Brett Eldredge’s new, self-titled album debuts at #1 on Top Album Sales, while Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN.” tops the Billboard 200 consumption chart.<\/p>\n

“Brett Eldredge” sold what Billboard reports as 36K in pure US sales. The figure ranks as the week’s best pure sales mark.<\/p>\n

With TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) included, it generated 45K in total consumption. The figure is enough for #2 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

“DAMN.,” which generated 47K tracking week consumption units, returns to #1 for a fourth, non-consecutive week.<\/p>\n

DJ Khaled’s “Grateful” takes #3 on the Billboard 200 with 31K units, while Meek Mill’s “Wins & Losses” grabs #4 with a similar amount.<\/p>\n

“NOW 63,” which also shifted roughly 31K units, follows at #5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Brett Eldredge” debuts at #1 on Top Album Sales, while “DAMN.” returns to #1 on the Billboard 200.","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],"tags":[1914,1027,700,4476,9522],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nBrett Eldredge's Album Wins US Sales Race, But Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN."
