She's a teen sensation from the 2000s who has never really been a massive pop star, and is a complete non-factor in music.

The fact that her legacy alone even allowed her to sell +70k pure is pretty impressive.

Also the deluxe she confirmed last night will obviously push this right back top 10.

No, that record belongs to Celine Dione. 1-OUT

maybe someone has already corrected you, but if this is in reference to Courage, it fell 77 fewer positions than Hilary's album.

She won. Peaks live forever

I mean...this isn't weird. This is what happens to every star that gets pure sales and has no streams. Madonna, Mariah, Celine, Kylie and it's now happening to "older" stars without streaming hits.

… I was honestly thrilled that she was top 3 given her music history. Hilary hasn't ever really been a charts darling so this isn't exactly a shock.

Different demographic. I was one of the ones who bought it and who has been listening to it. Just not streaming it.

Congrats to her, however the album is awful

at least BIBO had My Kind and the title track.

This is literally one of her best albums like what

what are people laughing at, 83k and top 3 is huge success for her, she proved to have a loyal fanbase that drove her pure sales up. dumb as rocks

they were using her first-week sales to make comparisons with other people's, and now…

Only dummies care about dumb **** like that

There's literally nothing to drag here. She's a legacy artist who hasn't released a new album in 10+ years, and without a streaming hit this was always gonna happen. The fact that she was able to almost triple BIBO's first week sales and debut in the top 3 makes this is massive success for Hilary. Cry harder about it.

84k first week and charting a second week is way better than everyone expected

at least at #22 (-20) billboard pure sales

I guess her luck ran out..

This is what happens when you inflate your sales with 30 variants.

She didn't go 1 OUT. She went 1 - 111.

i love hilary but i truly doubt anyone is shocked that the album fell she hasn't been on the public eye for over a decade in this way and hasn't consistently pursued a music career since 2003-07. her sales were massive all things considered and if the album has a madame x trajectory (top 3, barely charting, out by week 3) i still think this album is a major success for her

Her sales were due to the same people buying her many many variants.

So she charted for a second week?

This is absolutely a success. A ten-year break, and she smashed first week sales in every major market and charts for a second week in the USA and sells out a world tour?

No need for any real hit single. No award shows/performances. Only a few major interviews and podcasts and she will effortlessly beak 100K locally in two weeks?

Atlantic is definitely smiling at their new _{cash cow} financial feline the legendary Hilary Duff.

I would hate to be @on the line right now, the mental gymnastics that user must be doing to swing this into a bad thing.

She did multiple performances.

And she wont be breaking 100k ever.

Music not the bling.

quite frankly, the fact that she has any commercial viability after basically retiring from music at 20 years old is astonishing

Multiple performances where? She did exactly one televised performance, and that one aired only just now, in the album's third tracking week.

She will easily break 100k in the US. She sold 84k in the first week, and over 10k in the second week. So she's already at 94k+.
