infrared Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Quote On next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart, Nicki Minaj’s new Queen and Travis Scott’s reigning champ Astroworld are vying for No. 1, according to industry forecasters. Those in the know suggest that the two sets could each earn around 160,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Aug. 16. Queen was released Aug. 10 via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records. Astroworld, which dropped on Aug. 3 through Cactus Jack/Grand Hustle/Epic Records, debuted atop the chart dated Aug. 18 with 2018’s second-largest week for an album: 537,000 units earned in the week ending Aug. 9, according to Nielsen Music. While the bulk of Queen’s units will be generated from streaming activity, the album will also benefit from sales generated by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with her upcoming tour, as well as a range of merchandise/album bundles sold through Minaj’s official online shop. As for Astroworld, the album will have a natural second-week decline, but will still reap handsome streaming figures, as well as sales supported by a bevy of merchandise/album bundles. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8470273/nicki-minaj-queen-travis-scott-astroworld-billboard-200-race-number-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
