AC/DC :: Charts & Sales History

[theMathematician]

So the album's total is higher in Germany than in the US or UK thus far? How unusual for an international release.

Wait, I only just read now that "Power Up" is #1 on the German Year-End Charts - with just three weeks of sales

[theMathematician]

The album reached platinum for 200k+ shipped copies in Germany.

Germany:
1 (1) Power Up 4 weeks (No. 1 for 4 weeks) *re-peak*

It should be eligible for 3x gold now. It's the highest amount of consecutive weeks at No. 1 since 'Divide' in 2017/2018.

Too bad that the album hasn't been certified in Switzerland yet - it surely is eligible for platinum by now there, isn't it?

This is totally inaccurate, according to them its first week is just 348K, but even from the sales we know is more

Austria, Germany and Switzerland 180K
France 36,509
UK 62K
US 117K
Australia 21,535
Japan 2,7K
420K

They are at least 520-540K in its first week.

The album is behind Helene Fischer's live album, who is the biggest local act.
My estimations:
1. 160k
1. 50k
1. 35k
1. 30k
2. 30k

(total so far: ~ 305k)

New sales peak last week in France, it looks like another multi-platinum album for them.
This is rare for international acts these days in France.

@floria: Week 2 would be a normal drop in other circumstances. Considering the extreme stability in the other weeks, what's the reason for the big-ish drop in week 2?

The White Stripes' 'Greatest Hits' Goes Top 10 on Album Sales Chart
By Keith Caulfield

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The Album Sales chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Pure album sales were the measurement solely utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow Billboard and Billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

AC/DC’s former No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Power Up, is stationary at No. 5 on the latest chart, with 18,000 sold (down 12%)

There was a huge drop in the second week because non-essential businesses were closed at that time in France.
After their reopening, sales of the album resumed.

Good to know, Hologan, thanks!
