7/6/19 Billboard 200:
The Raconteurs Land First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Help Us Stranger'
by Keith Caulfield 6/30/2019
Plus: Lil Nas X & Gucci Mane debut in top 10.
At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Lil Nas X arrives with his debut effort, 7. The eight-track effort boasts his phenomenally successful single “Old Town Road,” both in its original form and its Billy Ray Cyrus-assisted remix version.
7 starts with 77,000 equivalent album units earned, of which 4,000 were in album sales (all from digital downloads, as the set was not available in any physical format).
The release was driven largely by streaming activity, having collected 8,000 in TEA units and a sizable 66,000 SEA units. The latter sum equates to 90.4 million on-demand audio streams of its songs during the tracking frame, which makes the effort the most-streamed album of the week.
“Old Town Road” has spent the last 12 weeks at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart (as of the most recently published list, dated June 29). It’s just the 20th single to spend at least 12 weeks at No. 1 since the chart launched in 1958.

Great second week for the EP overall, though I have to admit I'm disappointed in the pure sales of "7"...

Chris Brown Earns Third No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Indigo'
7/8/2019 by Keith Caulfield
At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Lil Nas X’s 7 holds steady in the runner-up slot for a second week, as the set earned 62,000 equivalent album units (down 20%). Of that sum, it sold 2,000 copies (down 52%). The album is driven mostly by streaming activity, led by its ubiquitous smash single “Old Town Road.”

Calling it a viral fad when it's No.1 for 15 weeks. SureAnd I don't think his pure sales are surprising it is digital only and he has a fan base/listeners full of people who are too young to care about CDs or don't buy them anymore/never have. Pure copies is a thing a the past and is only still important for older acts with a different fan base and for soundtracks which also appeal to the older GP

the record was going to be broken sometime though record sales in general are down sharply for example Carrie Underwood's debut album some hearts is the bet selling in the history of American Idol 8x platinum in US and 9 million copies Worldwide while her 2015 album Storyteller sold 750 K in the US and 1 million worldwide while Taylor Swift's Best seller is 2008's Fearless shipping 10 million in the US and 12 million worldwide while for example her lowest seller is 2017's Reputation 3 million in the US and 4.5 million worldwide mind you Taylor's sold 43+ million albums worldwide while Carrie's sold about 20 million albums worldwide"the love of a mothers life is her child/children"
