Frozen would've had some SPS help from Let It Go (both versions), Do You Want To Build A Snowman, and maybe some of the other smaller songs. Frozen surprised everyone, as it was the biggest selling Soundtrack in over a decade. Actually it sold a bit less, 4.22 million copies:

Thankfully it will never happen. I have proposed a 50% several times before, so this is not something I just "plucked" out of my head. I do understand that Urban and Rap music streams better than it sells, so naturally, "stans" of those genres want things to stay the same. On the other hand, Country and Rock sells better than it streams, so "stans" would rather have album charts based on sales only. By using my proposal, the stans can meet in the middle.

Fruity Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 3 minutes ago, ChartsFan said: No more arbitrary than arriving at 1500 streams is a song, it used to be less, but they want sales to still mean something, so they randomly change the amount of streams per song to enforce that. it is all arbitrary. So one proposal over any other or that already in use isn't ridiculous. I agree that the 1500 is to some extent arbitrary. But they needed to choose a threshold number for streaming equivalences in order for SPS to have any meaning. Once that equivalence was created (now at 1500 for an album), there's no longer any reason to cap streams contribution to SPS at 100% of sales, that's illogical. It's basically like saying "I dont like streaming artists doing better on the charts, therefore I'll allow streaming to contribute to SPS, but only up to the amount sales does, and no more." It's completely biased and backward. Once you set the numbers for SPS equivalence you can't randomly cap them.
IVY Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 I've just noticed that iHype didn't even bother to include TWIL chart position at #2 in the OP.

Agenor Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Logic Scores His First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Everybody' Rapper Logic notches his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Everybody bows atop the list. The set, which was released on May 5 through Visionary/Def Jam Recordings, earned 247,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 11, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 196,000 were in traditional album sales. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new May 27-dated chart (where Everybody launches at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, May 16. Everybody is Logic’s third top 10 album, and fourth entry overall on the list. It follows Bobby Tarantino (No. 12 in 2016), The Incredible True Story (No. 3, 2015) and Under Pressure (No. 4, 2014). Everybody also grants Logic his best sales week ever, surpassing his previous high of 118,000 sold by The Incredible True Story in its first week. Through the week ending May 4, his combined pre-Everybody albums had sold 614,000 copies and generated 1.2 billion on-demand audio streams for their songs. Everybody launches with a robust 196,000 in album sales, but also 4,000 in TEA and 47,000 in SEA. The latter figure translates to 70.2 million on-demand audio streams for the songs on the album (1,500 streams equals one SEA unit). At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Chris Stapleton scores his best sales week yet, as his second solo studio effort, From A Room: Volume 1, debuts with 219,000 units (and 202,000 in traditional album sales). His previous biggest sales frame was logged when his first album, Traveller, re-entered the chart at No. 1 with 153,000 sold following his big night at the 2015 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards. From A Room: Volume 1, released through Mercury Nashville Records, also starts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the best-selling albums of the week. (Everybody is No. 2 on that list.) Stapleton’s sales start is the largest sales week for a country album in more than a year-and-a-half. The last country set to sell more in a week was Luke Bryan’s Kill the Lights, which sold 320,000 copies in its first week (chart dated Aug. 29, 2015, reflecting the sales week ending Aug 13, 2015).Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. (on Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope Records) falls from No. 1 to No. 3 (134,000 units; down 22 percent) on the new Billboard 200, after three weeks atop the list. The Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 soundtrack (Marvel/Hollywood Records) hits a new high, rising 8-4 (87,000 units – nearly all from album sales; up 120 percent). The surge comes following the movie’s bow in U.S. theaters on May 5.Drake’s More Life (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records) rounds out the top five, slipping one rung to No. 5 with 62,000 units (down 10 percent). Universal Music Group has a clean sweep of the top five albums on the Billboard 200, the first time any music company as monopolized the top five since Universal did it on the Nov. 28, 2015-dated list. That week, Stapleton was No. 1 with Traveller (on Mercury Nashville Records), while Nos. 2-5 were Eric Church’s Mr. Misunderstood (EMI Nashville), Ellie Goulding’s Delirium (Cherrytree/Interscope Records), The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness (Republic Records) and Tim McGraw’s Damn Country Music (McGraw/Big Machine Records).Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) descends one position to No. 6 with 50,000 units (up less than 1 percent). Rapper Russ sees his debut album There’s Really a Wolf open at No. 7 with 49,000 units (24,000 in traditional album sales). Streams played a significant role in the set’s opening frame, as SEA units account for nearly 23,000 units of its total debut sum. (TEA units are a little more than 2,000.) Closing out the top 10 are Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic (7-8 with 42,000 units; up 1 percent), Gorillaz’s Humanz (2-9 in its second week with 40,000 units; down 71 percent) and the Epic AF compilation (6-10 with 37,000 units; down 23 percent).

Radio is fine and also not exactly that important for a first full week. If you want to be concerned about something it would be Spotify.
simmnfierzig Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Very surprised that Despacito is #1. Wow. And the song is so bad
