P!nk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Did my eyes read right that he did 650K with Divide in the UK in his first week?? The hell? No way! I never knew his actual power here when many number 1 albums struggle to reach 100K on opening week. Edited July 11, 2019 by P!nk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBJT2786 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 That doesn’t necessarily make for a massive week one, but it’s got three tracks in the Top 10 at the moment. Those tracks are already streaming extremely well.” and ATRL acts like no one will care about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew his actual power here when many number 1 albums struggle to reach 100K on opening week. It’s not many albums that struggle to do 100k first week, that number is pretty much limited to just Adele, Ed and Take That (and maybe 1D’s next album if it happens in the next couple years).

I never knew his actual power here when many number 1 albums struggle to reach 100K on opening week. 300k = 1 platinum in the UK. 650K = 2M first week in the US. That's crazier than Taylor in the US proportion wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because of the higher volume of sales in the weeks leading up to Christmas (or Adele 21’s was dominating). Rihanna Loud was #3 in its 6th week (Christmas week) on the chart with 307k sales.

Or is it just global sales (also very amazing of course)? They did 2.1 Million in Korea & 2.7Million ww. But to be fair, a lot of the Korean sale are sold as imports in other Asian countries. That's why the average Kpop album are sold $25 vs Us albums $12. They are mostly fabricated & sold to foreigners on line in Korea (Hanteo) then shipped overseas AFTER online purchase.
