Hector Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ed Sheeran’s global chart-topping Divide album debuts in its first week at the top of the Canadian chart with 75,000 total consumption units (CU) that combine sales with streams. Nielsen reports him having the highest one-week total since Drake’s Views tallied 110K CUs in its debut week in May 2016. Notable too is that Sheeran sold 60K albums in his first week, the highest total since Celine Dion’s Encore Un Soir sold about as many in September 2016. Sheeran also racked up 23M on-demand streams to claim the highest one-week total since The Weeknd generated 27M in November 2016 with the release of the Starboy album. The activity necessarily has triggered renewed interest in Sheeran’s back catalogue. Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” continues to lead the way on the Streaming and Songs charts for the ninth straight week. This is the longest consecutive run at No. 1 on the Songs chart since Omi’s “Cheerleader” spent nine at the top, in June 2015. Six more songs from Divide are in the song Streaming chart top 20 this week. http://www.fyimusicnews.ca/articles/2017/03/13/charts-week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbeatxx Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 as expected the difference between 25 and Divide first week was smaller in Canada. 25 opened with 306k in Canada so this is 25% of it, while 13% of 25 in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
