The current Billboard album race has apparently produced a split-chart scenario.
Based on data reported by Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle, The 1975’s “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships” won the pure album sales race. Meek Mill’s “Championships,” however, as an overwhelmingly led the week in total consumption.
“A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships” said to have sold about 44,000 pure US copies during the November 30-December 6 tracking period. That ranks as the week’s best pure sales tally.
“Championships” sold 34,000 copies (enough for #2 for pure sales) but received a far bigger lift from track sales and streams. Hits says the album generated 206,000 in first-week consumption.
“A Brief Inquiry” did about 61K in first-week consumption, which rank as the week’s fourth-best tally (after “Championships,” 6ix9ine’s “DUMMY BOY,” and Lil Baby’s “Street Gossip”).
Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data may differ slightly from that reported by Hits. The discrepancies should not, however, impact the overall outcome. “A Brief Inquiry” should take #1 on Top Album Sales, while “Championships” will be #1 on the Billboard 200.
