HDD final numbers: 'Midnights' vs. 'SOS' for #1 – only separated by 200 (!) units

[mael]

Waiting for BB numbers.

SZA lost 

[PopFan1996]

SOS can still pull through and keep the #1

200 units is nothing. Just  300k streams can make this difference

Hopefully

It's very close so I wouldn't be surprised if SZA ends up going #1. However, I'm pretty sure Taylor actually sold more than that

Swift's late-week surge in digital sales was enough to end SZA's three-week run atop the chart. As always with a race so tight—this one is separated by only 200 units—expect a greater margin of error. We have Midnights at 124.6k and SOS finishing with 124.4k.

SZA can still take it!!

[FightDragonsWithMe]

Talent won 

[terrorblade]

talent lost either way

[mypaintoyou]

How is it so close?

did Taylor not sell enough? 
she usually sells a lot or are they underestimating her 

[EnoughSaid]

Only a 200 difference with all the versions and scamming Taylor ran? SOS the peoples choice of the week could still pull it with official billboard numbers. 

[Brodie]

Oh wow, Taylor having 5 albums predicted to still be in the top 40 after Christmas, including an 8 year old album  

[Smarticle]

Evil won

When’s the last time HDD and Billboard had the #1 and 2 off?

I don’t know but I remember this one

 

 

[Zoomer]

Talent won. OTHs can now look for someone else to success-stan 💀

[Green]

Wow I thought Taylor's lead would be bigger  

 

That means SZA sold her digital copies too   But ATRL told me no one would buy SZA's digital albums

 

It could go either way on the Billboard 200

If anything last week they overestimated her sales. Her Billboard numbers were lower than what HDD predicted

 

But you never know

[family.guy123]

Ew can badbunny fall faster please. 

[Kev]

Billboard should know which side to butter the bread on If they ever want Taylor to perform at their shows or events again

It's a great start to the year, which has two female chart-toppers leading the market—hopefully a sign of a changing tide after male-dominated 2022 chart activity. Swift and SZA's critically acclaimed albums have held #1 or #2 for the past four weeks and are maintaining activity above 100k well past their release date.

Sza will finish #1 on billboard 200 year end charts (2023). Her SEA units are incredible.

Yes. Midnights selling 100k+ every week since release despite selling 1.6 million in 1st week.  Just WOW

[Literature]

I think SZA will take it tbh
