TEA is the sum of digital sales divided by 10.

Obviously Make Me will get a huge boost, possibly #1 after the VMA and you'll have all the 16 other songs on the chart. Private Show, Clumsy, Liar, Better and company selling.

How does that not give her 300k?

So 

There is album sales, that's just ppl buying the collective body of songs

Tea = the sum of all individual sales of the songs, so Make Me's release week sales, + all other poossible songs that chart (Frank Ocean doesn't have any of his on itunes charts, just the album as a whole is selling)

Sea = album streams

Yup, 3 things. Not release week. Just 26th of August and up.

1. Reciepts?

2. They aren't counting towards the same week

She gave a gorgeous album, with great tracks...stop worrying abt charts and other artists. Quality over quantity.

Glory debuting at #2 is pretty good too! No?

[Nina Dobrev]

The people at fault here are the ******* mexicans who decided to push the album a week early before its debut around the world.

How was the Hive able to chart the album and singles at the same time

Are you able to buy the singles one by one from iTunes when they're all purchased from the album?

Frank Ocean is eyeing the number one spot.

Frank Ocean is eyeing the number one spot.

Ocean surprised fans when he shared a live-stream of him building a staircase and playing what fans thought was his new album. Half truth. What Ocean spun for fans was one of two releases, the first being a visual album titled Endless. A day later, Ocean plopped the second work onto the net, this time his much anticipated new album Blonde Boys Don't Cry.

It features collaborations from Beyonce, Kanye West, Andre 3000, Pharrell Williams and many more.

Billboard reports Ocean's label Def Jam spent more than a $1 million and as much as $2 million on crafting the album.

The investment was worth the pretty penny.

New reports from Hits Daily Double suggest Ocean will fly to No. 1 next week. The latest figures floating around claim Ocean will sell 250-350k albums, which would surely dominate any other planned releases.

It's not clear whether his first-week sales will tally up for this week or next because the album was released on a Saturday versus the standard Friday release format.

Ocean's brother took to Twitter over the weekend to reveal his older bro would spend crazy hours in the studio and was so focused on the project he forgot to feed his crew.

At the time of posting, Blonde was the No. 1 album on iTunes.

Frank Ocean's album

They know what the need to do to sell this album. She needs to promote like she use to. The Gp thinks she cant sing, dance, and is still crazy. She needs to kill the VMA's and release a killer video.

Who cares if she debuts at No. 1 or not tbh. We got some of her best work EVER with Glory. That speaks louder than any chart position.

This. The fanbase is way too obssesed with numbers nowadays. 

[Blackout Fan]

The album is good... It will still be good if it debuts at 2 or 3  ... or 4... on the floor

[Kiey]

What im more annoyed with isnt frank ocean

its barbra and that country group

what is this massive 20-30 demographic who are/were fans of britney spears doing?

do they not buy her music and just illegally download?

what we need to do is expose and shove Glory down everyones throats. This album REALLY deserves that no.1 spot

Yes, you can buy the tracks individually even though you have the album.

But the songs chart mainly because not everyone buys the whole album. They download just certain songs.

Some days ago people here were dragging someone for saying Frank Ocean was a threat.

So, what's good, Exhale?

Totally, plus her best performing since ITZ! Plus if anything we should try to keep the album on the charts instead of a big debut and fall. More videos and exposure if the album is still on the charts

I think you can buy the individual songs from the standard version no?

[Enigmatique]

I will always prefer universal acclaim over sales any day!
