HITS 2/12: Future #1 145-150k SPS

[Adam (UTR)]

NEW RELEASES: THE FUTURE OF FUTURE

Epic's Future, whose voice you may have noticed in a cool Beats by Dre Super Bowl spot, leads the pack of new releases and looks headed for #1 on Friday's HITS album sales and SPS charts. It's a nice look for L.A. Reid and team going into Grammy week. Here's the state of play.

Future (Epic) 110-115k albums, 145-150k SPS
Elton John (Island) 58-63k, 60-65k
Now 57 (NOW/Legacy) 58-63k
Wiz Khalifa (WMG) 45-50k, 55-60k
Elevation Worship (Essential) 20-23k, 21-24k
Young Thug (WMG) 14-16k, 17-20k
Charles Kelley (Capitol Nashville) 12-14k, 13-15k
Now Power Ballads (NOW/Legacy) 9-11k

Rihanna, who debuted digitally last week, has delivered physical product, and looks to move some 40-45k albums and 65-70k SPS.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Kevin Gates might double Wiz's sales wow & lol

[damita34]

I wonder what the sales of SWV will be...

[areyoureadytojump]

^460. lol

[DJ General]

Good sales for Rihanna with the physical copies. Great for Future. Kinda shocked that Wiz isn't even doing 100k.

Not really...That's still a 70% drop.

Even though it's up for sale, Wiz has long been advertising this album as a kind-of appetizer to his next album, so I'm not surprised at the low sales.

Doesn't matter. Over a million people have it for free. This is an experimental album. the sales are good for the "third" week of release after 1 million were given away for free. I would probably have purchased the album, but I was one of the lucky people who got it for free so I probably won't purchase it until (or if) it goes very cheap. Plus the price is much higher than your standard CD. so I'm considering it very good

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

I question this un-auditable assertion that they gave away a million copies for free. Samsung BOUGHT a million copies of the album. But there is no paper trail to see if those albums were ever actually downloaded, just tweets by Rihanna that picked up by other sources.

[Wave.]

She did the same thing as Jay, what's so hard to believe?

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

There's also no proof that Magna Carta Holy Grail moved a million free downloads either, and in all liklihood it didn't because of the way that it was distributed. He was certified based on the pre-sales to Samsung, not actual downloads, the same way Rihanna was. There's a reason Soundscan doesn't count their sales.

[DJ General]

Then why could people not get the album anymore? you really think it is that shocking that 1 million people downloaded the album? Rihanna has nearly 56 million Twitter followers alone.. You think its shocking to find about 2% of her followers downloaded the album? Please.

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

Do you think all 56 million of those people live in the United states? Was the download code even US exclusive? If not, there is absolutely no way all million alleged copied were downloaded in the US.

The additional 400k reported was the worldwide overflow to reserve the million copies to US users to gain RIAA certification. Tidal, like most service companies, utilize IP location tracking. It's hardly that wild of a number anyway.

[Enigma.]

Awesome for Elton John.... 1546243 years in the business and still debuting so well with NEW music

Those numbers for Rihanna.. dunno, could be better but maybe worse too.

[Glove Slap]

I was hoping for around 60k for Rihanna after it trended upward last week, but it could have been around 30k too. I'm curious as to how her SPS will go now that it's finally on Spotify. She was their top female artist globally last year.

TOP 15: EVOL WAYS

Future will land at #1 on both our sales and SPS charts when finalized on Friday. Adele starts to build leading into Grammy weekend, as wonderers are wondering how high she’ll soar next week. Coldplay gets a big boost post-Super Bowl and thanks to sale pricing at Google Play (99 cents) and iTunes ($6.99). Here’s how the chart looks at midweek.

*Future (Epic) 105-110k Sales, 145-150k SPS
Adele (XL/Columbia) 90-95k, 105-110k
Coldplay (Parlophone) 87-93k, 95-100k
*Elton John (Island) 58-63k, 60-65k
*Now 57 (NOW/Legacy) 55-60k, 55-60k
*Wiz Khalifa (WMG) 45-50k, 60-65k
Rihanna (Westbury Road/Roc Nation) 38-43k 67-72k
Chris Stapleton (Mercury Nashville) 30-35k, 35-40k
Justin Bieber (Def Jam) 25-30k, 65-70k
*Elevation Worship (Essential) 18-23k, 19-24k
Kevin Gates (Bread Winner’s Association) 16-20k, 29-33k
Twenty One Pilots (Fueled by Ramen) 15-19k, 39-43k
Panic! At the Disco (DCD2/Fueled by Ramen) 14-18k, 22-26k
*Young Thug (WMG) 15-18k, 18-22k
The Weeknd (XO/Republic) 14-16k, 30-34k

*Debuts

[ddlz]

Nice numbers for Future. Gates did good, too!!

[DJ General]

Good stuff for everyone! Rihanna's CD is only being carried in DELUXE format at Target right now for 16.99 so this is not a "reasonable" priced disc. she is doing great numbers considering the steep price and limited retailers carrying it. It isn't even officially on planogram at targets until March. So stores are removing Adele's discs and putting her in one of her spots for the time being, if they even chose to.

[areyoureadytojump]

Good numbers for Coldplay.

[Envoirment]

Great to see Adele staying really stable. I think it'll do 150k+ next week with the grammy slot.

[H.]

Why isn't Wiz's album selling much?

Charts were updated with new numbers.

Adele did much better!
