In other news, we would not be disappointed to make $103m in four days, but that's just us.

I still hate that streaming is used for album “sales” charts. So stupid.

[Glove Slap]

It's not a sales chart and isn't defined as such, that's separate. The Billboard 200 is a consumption chart now.

[Gary]

the first number is Sales plus streaming. The second number is sales

Good for Shawn. These were the kinds of numbers I was expecting for him.

Terrible numbers for Rocky. Great numbers for Shawn and Pusha.

CHART STORY: MENDES MANIA

Friday, June 1, 2018

Shawn Mendes’ much-anticipated third studio album, Shawn Mendes, has officially debuted at #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart, moving more than 182k and making former Island topper David Massey’s swan song all the sweeter.

The next-biggest bow belongs to RCA’s A$AP Rocky, whose Testing enters at #3 with approximately 74k. Pusha T’s Kanye-produced (and Drake-dissing) Daytona (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) follows at #4, appearing with 72k. As for the remaining, noteworthy new releases, Juice WRLD’s Goodbye & Good Riddance (Grade A/Interscope) comes in at #9 with 40k, while CHVRCHES’ Love Is Dead (Glassnote) can be found at #11 with 27k.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 65%, SME follows with 16% and WMG is #3 with 15%, while the indies claim 4%. Streeting this week are albums by G.O.O.D./Def Jam’s Kanye West, Loma Vista’s Ghost, Owl City’s Owl City and Sub Pop’s Father John Misty, as well as a deluxe edition from River House/Columbia Nashville’s Luke Combs.

In other news, following Yeezy’s album release event in Jackson Hole, WY, wonderers are wondering if Drake will throw one in Saskatoon. And will there be poutine?

[Glove Slap]

Wow, A$AP Rocky barely outdid Playboi Carti. This is the most surprising underperformer so far this year for me.

[willapted33]

Push nearly outdid Rocky 

happy for him, the album was incredible, but Rocky seriously under performed, I was thinking he would get 120k with ease

[owenlovesmusic]

I was really disappointed in Testing as a huge Rocky fan. Definitely not near his best work.

[It's me, bitch.]

If it was a sales chart, you would only need 9,000-10,000 sales for a Top 10.

For me, I sort of don't like the terms "Sales Equivalent Units" or "Album Equivalent Units", because, as the original poster implied, streams are not album sales, so it's hard to conceptualize the former as the latter. Perhaps a better term would just be "album points?" Or how about "consumption units," or, "The Billboard 200 Album Consumption Numbers Chart"!!!

[ListenToItTwice]

This might be the first week that streaming accounted for more than 50% of the points total of a Taylor Swift album.






I'm probably wrong, though

[thelegends]

However, I still think that Pusha will get the edge over Rocky.

[think pink.]

I'm super shocked at A$ap's sales. Damn...

Super happy for Push though! His album is incredible and deserving of all it's critical praise.
