Pretty sure they will surpass Mylo Xyloto's debut, hopefully AHFOD gets knocked down too

Wasn't there just a thread of someone calling this album a flop?  

someone? 99% of that thread called them:

 

a) a flop

b) embarrassing

c) Maroon 5

d) bad

e) irrelevant

f) old

 

And here they are... achieving smashing success - as always! ATRL has a problem with male artists. 

 

My advice: yass, queens, talk about the latest pop-gurl and fake clutch your pearls. 

 

Male excellence keeps on winning, meanwhile.

Oh.. tickets bundle?  .

 

I believe Billboard forbid those.

There are no tickets bundle for this. In Europe the law forces everyone to skip the purchase of any album and just register for the presale. In the US there wasn't even a bundle like that during presale. The numbers are coming after the demand that this tour made for them. Check their catalogue numbers on Spotify and you will see the aftermath. It's like that 3 years now that their touring with these great shows

"The prime minister has accepted almost 40 sets of free tickets during his time as Labour leader, mostly to football matches but also £4,000 of hospitality at a Taylor Swift concert and £698 of Coldplay tickets in Manchester". — The Guardian

'The pre-order now for exclusive first access' e-mails sent by them still definitely had a large impact on the sales and could be the major driver of this massive success. Would be interesting to look at markets which did not have a pre-sale & they also toured this year (so basically the rest of Europe). Going by the streams of MM, I'd say pure sales would be close to non-existent.

 

Not saying all of this as a drag, this was the smartest choice for them to follow! And I applaud them that they pulled through in two of the biggest markets.

The rest of Europe so far:

 

#1. Italy (MOTS went #4)

#1. Ireland (MOTS went #1)

#1. Germany (MOTS went #2)

#1. Netherlands (MOTS went #1)

#1. Norway (MOTS went #2)

#1. Sweden (MOTS went #3)

#2. Finland (MOTS went #4)

#3. France (MOTS went #1)*

#7. Lithuania (MOTS went #8)

 

* Despite not going #1 in France, Moon Music sold 19k units, which is more than what MOTS did on its two-week stay at the top (15k and 9k).
