How are her total sales less? Should it be 168,762...that would be quite some street date violaitons there??

Christian SoundScan sales aren't added to the overall SoundScan total, only to the weekly value. (Don't ask me why.)

That's probably what's happening here.

[HolidayGuy]

Yah- if you track weekly sales of acts that see sales at Christian outlets, the to-date tally that SoundScan shows never matches the total after you add up all the weekly sums. Never been a real explanation as to why it's like that with Christian outlets- I've inquired about it, though.

[Black Jesus]

Jenny will pass 200k next week! :)

[HolidayGuy]

^ Just smashing. American record-buyers are telling her, "I'm into you" in mass volumes.

[Honeymoon]

It will probably reach 350k in the end which is OK considering the single is going to easily pass 3 million. I wasn't expecting the album to do much more than that anyway after seeing Enrique and Nelly's comeback albums perform modestly with similar smash-sized lead singles.

YUP! Amazing that this is how it turned out after Katy debuted 192k last August and Mumford debuted 5k last February. I almost wonder if Katy will overtake them again with LFN just starting? Either way, amazing for Mumford & Sons.

It seems the days of ever having the top 200 album sales leak are long gone..

How is Jackie Evancho's This Week larger than the YTD?

[Cerbius]

^ Thanks. Looks like Taylor is 5/6 weeks or so away from passing Lady A in overall sales.

Sales at Christian outlets count in the weekly total but not in the YTD one. One of those inexplicable Soundscan quirks...

[Deleted]

^Thanks! I'm guessing that's why Owl City also has a higher TW than YTD.
