HITS 9/10: Ariana #1 135k, Tamar #2 117k, NIN #3 105k

[bunifah]

I think iTunes must have casted all their sales already cause it seems way too frontloaded for a 30% only
I'm sure digitals are already in and now we are only going to see the physical amount from here and there

I dont have hopes that TAMAR will snatch the #1 cause Ariana was ahead of her all week on iTunes. Physicals is where I think Tamar's strength is at

[DJ General]

Hopefully Ariana takes it!

[Wavey✨️]

Usually the R&B fans go for the physical rather than the digital, good for Tamar. May the best artist win.

I know Tamar secretly wants to rub the possible number 1 in K.Michelle's face.

Wow, it really is going to be neck and neck!

[Tony]

Aww, I really want Tamar to get #1. She deserves it. I mean, so does Ariana... but she's got time. Tamar's almost 40 now, lol, it's now or never.

It really is neck-a-neck between Ariana and Tamar, though I think the lead is wide enough for her to take #1 for good. Still, I can't at how far behind NIN is right now. I like how people said that Ariana is a frontloaded album seller, yet NIN fell much harder as the week went on.

In other news, I had a crazy dream last night where Billboard added pre-orders to the Billboard 200, and One Direction debuted at #1 two months before the album was released.

I hope Tamar sells more in the long run.

[josh]

Awesome for Ariana, well above predictions! Tamar above as well!

[Deleted]

Glad to see that Tamar exceeded her prediction! Oh and lovely increase for Sara Bareilles!

[areyoureadytojump]

Busy week. 11 albums debuted. Glad to see 3 100k+ debuts!

Taylor Swift and The Lumineers re-entered.

13 albums could enter the Top 50 next week.

[Deleted]

THRILLED for Ariana Grande's #1. Very deserving!

It's just that for YEARS here at Pulse, whoever makes the first post about the HITS Final chart usually posts the entire 50 position chart.
