The soundtrack to The Greatest Showman becomes the first album to sell a million copies in 2018 in the U.S., as the set sold another 26,000 copies in the week ending June 7. Its sales in 2018 now stand at 1.001 million. The title’s overall sales -- as it was released in December of 2017 -- total 1.081 million.

2018’s second-biggest-selling album is Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods, with 399,000 copies sold, followed by Jason Aldean’s Rearview Town, with 282,000.

Through the same point a year ago (week ending June 8, 2017), no album had sold 1 million in 2017. The industry had to wait until the week ending Nov. 16, when Taylor Swift’s reputation. swooped in, selling 1.2 million copies in its first week.

2017 would end with only two million-selling albums: reputation. (with 1.9 million sold that year) and Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) with 1.1 million.

The Greatest Showman is the first soundtrack to sell a million copies in a calendar year since 2014, when the Frozen soundtrack sold a mighty 3.5 million copies (of its overall 4.2 million total).

Hugh Jackman new king of pop?

Considering how ATRL loves to talk about pure sales being the most important thing, I'd expect him to have a lot of stans on here.

 

Possible Grammy AOTY nomination coming, especially since there are 8 nominations now.

Adele will likely do 2 million+ her next first week. Doubt she’ll do 3 million again since 25 was not as well received as 21. Also Taylor, although she may not be able to do it in her first week again

It's really tragic that a soundtrack is the only album to reach 1M pure sales, it truly shows how dead pure album sales are now :rip:

 

But slay I guess...? I've never heard the album before, is it any good?
