A battle for #1 appears to be shaping up on this week?s Top 50 chart, with the surprise drop by The Carters (aka Beyonc? and Jay-Z) giving the new album from Capitol?s 5 Seconds of Summer a run for its money. Both The Carters (a Roc Nation/UMG-Parkwood/Columbia co-release) and 5SOS are currently on track to do about 120k.
But there?s a wild-card factor to consider: XXXtentacion, whose death in a 6/18 shooting has caused a rush of support at both streaming services and digital retail. The late rapper has returned to the Top 10 at Spotify and has four of the Top 5 songs at Apple Music?will this activity be sufficiently intense and sustained to make XXX a force on the chart as well?
Another lingering question mark is the impact of Tidal, which had The Carters as an exclusive over their opening weekend?they seem to have some juice over there?and which has been the subject of no small amount of controversy regarding its reported numbers. Then there?s Spotify, which appears to have kept Jay and Bey off its most trafficked real estate as a consequence of the Tidal exclusive. How seriously will these two streameries affect their total?
Here's how the week's top debuts are looking.
The Carters (Roc Nation/UMG-Parkwood/Columbia) 115-125k, 72-77k album
5 Seconds of Summer (Capitol) 113-118k, 92-97k
Nas (Mass Appeal/Def Jam) 70-80k, 40-50k
Christina Aguilera (RCA) 68-73k, 62-67k
Jay Rock (TDE/Interscope) 24-27k, 6-7k
:stressed:
Christina did decent
Wow Christina sold the fuck out of them physical albums her streaming numbers suck tho.
Great for Nas and amazing for King Ye!
Xtina almost sold as much as Bey & Jay with physical copies. I think her label should try and work this damn album I am the fuck shocked

I'm sure it'll be 300k once the Tidal streams are added

So does HDD and billboard count tidals numbers ?

:ummwhat:
Xtina's going to do just about the same as Lotus (give or take), not bad.

These numbers are terrible. People really don't want this duet mess.
Didn't Xtina have a tour bundle?
Guys, Tidal isn?t factored in yet..

Luckily this is credited as The Carters so it wont ruin her streak of #1 albums whenever she decides to release another solo one.

yes. but they don't do a daily tracking total like the others do.
so their numbers are always a mystery

Boy..those fake streams
No problem though. Her solo album will triple these numbers with the proper rollout.
:uhh: :uhh: :uhh:
Tidal will over inflate them per normal lol. My timeline hasn't really be raving about the album like I thought they would . I like the project though it's nothing to write home about . Can't always give a blockbuster mess !

True.
Sounds like Spotify is being petty :dead:
And these numbers are fine. Christina?s numbers are surprising
I hope she doesn?t disappear and keeps pushing. in 2018? not awful at all
They DEF? should?ve released on a Friday. IDK why they thought doing the same rollout she does for her projects would work for them as a Duo when the general public hates Jay :dead:

Yeah I don't know if that's good or not but werk.
Ugh I'm kinda pissed
The numbers will obviously rise throughout the week but still...eek!
Hope they can at least crank out 200K pure sales.
Damn the most shocking about this is Christina numbers. Those are good numbers.
yeah xtina booked.
and I was hearing people say they didn't even know she had an album out.
just imagine if they had a proper roll out for her
I love Christina's "Fall in line" it makes me feel so powerful. I'm happy she at least made a dent in the too 5.

I swear to god if she does a Tidal exclusive and delays her solo album from being put out everywhere else dffgggg

:hmph: you know she is
Between this and that fag nonviolently "dying" during their album release week I just ugh
But maybe HDD is lowballing their numbers on purpose and then come Thursday we'll gag?

Yeah the #s don?t make sense
Jay?s last mess did 200K
The biggest ki of them all is that Jay Z and Beyonce couldn't outsell Kid Cudi & Kanye West especially all that damn shade thrown at him on the album
I think there comes a point in a career where sales aren't the driving force.
this seems like a project they been wanted to do, and has a therapeutic marriage thing, the time was right.
their tour is way more impactful that some album sales. All of the people yall are comparing their album sales to, couldn't sell half as much as them in touring.
Hits retracted their mess and y?all still carrying :plzstop:
