Will end up with at least 620k by yearend.

[Mr. Duff]

Most of the albums released this year are very frontloaded, as well as albums like reputation and Revival.

 

Cry Pretty, Man of the Woods and Sweetener have big opening weeks and just sold that much throughout the year? I can forgive Cry Pretty as it's released pretty recently.
