This House Is Not for Sale debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 with 129,000 album-equivalent units, of which 128,000 were pure album sales

so...might be bigger than debut week

[iHype.]

JT's album out the top 10? A month after release? With the Super Bowl and multiple Top 10 singles.

 

Wow. @TattooedDreams needs to buy more copies!

You can use ticket bundles for old albums?

I believe it counts but the number is of course variable. Massive kii if it ends up at #2 instead though.

I'm not against the idea of Tour Bundles but this feels wrong somehow

I won't lie, I totally agree with you, but pure sales are dead. This is the way they found to sell albums (even when their album is from 2016).

Metallica kinda did this with Hardwired... To Self-Destruct. The album came out in like November 2016 at #1 and the North American tour was announced in February 2017 with bundles to stadium shows and it hit #2 with another 80k copies only blocked by Ed Sheeran and they’ve just announced like 20 more US arena shows so probably another bundle.
