Update:<\/b> Billboard has made the news official: The Killers’ “Wonderful Wonderful” debuts at #1 on this week’s Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts.<\/p>\n
It tops the former with what Billboard reports as 111K pure US sales. The inclusion of TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) yields a consumption tally of 118K, which is enough for #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
“Wonderful Wonderful” is the band’s first #1 album in the US.<\/p>\n
Macklemore’s “Gemini” debuts at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 51K units, while Lil Uzi Vert’s “Luv Is Rage 2” falls one place to #3 with 45K.<\/p>\n
Kevin Gates’ “By Any Means 2” debuts at #4 with 40K units, while Jhene Aiko’s “Trip” takes #5 on the strength of its 37K units.

The Killers’ “Wonderful Wonderful” convincingly won this week’s US album sales and consumption races.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle Music, “Wonderful Wonderful” sold approximately 103,475 pure US copies during the September 22-28 tracking week.<\/p>\n
With TEA (track sales\/10) and SEA (track streams\/1500) included, the album generated about 114,718 total first-week consumption units.<\/p>\n
Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data will differ slightly from that reported by Hits\/BuzzAngle. The discrepancies will not, however, affect the overall outcomes. The pure sales total will earn “Wonderful Wonderful” #1 on Top Album Sales, while the consumption figure will be enough for #1 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
“Wonderful Wonderful” will be the first Killers album to top those US-based charts.<\/p>\n
