'Glory' can still be #1! Receipts and update!

[Billy Boi]

Because I didn't see any posts updating Glory's first week sales I decided to do research myself, please let me know if I'm wrong on any of this:

There hasn't been any update for iTunes and physical copy sales for Glory so lets say it stays at the projected 100k sales.

According to Kworb, Glory individual track sales will be much than previously expected (thanks to Make Me...)
Adding up all the track estimated sales for the first week, should give Glory at least 15K.

Onto streaming, VMAs Make Me is slaying on Youtube with 4M+ views (probably at least 6M by Thursday) giving an additional 4K sales.
Spotify streams should be at least 3.6M by Thursday, bringing in another 2400? I don't know about Apple Music or other streaming services.

As a total, Glory should have at least 125K first week adjusted sales, probably a little more.


If you detect any mistakes here please say something and give me your own projection!

I really, really hope so! The album freakin deserve it!! Big time

Yeh but frank ocean and Florida Georgia may sell over 140k and Barbara who ehows, but it's predicted for more than 120k. If Britney does 120k she can still land at #4. Also I think I've seen mentioned that the YouTube video won't count towards album sales.

Not all streams on YT are from US.

Today Show might help.It is like our last chance.

[DANNl]

only streams from the US count, so for example if the VMA performance were to get 6M views, on average only 2M of those views are from the US and therefore taken into account.

EDIT: yeah Billboard does not count YT streams only RIAA

But it's coming so late in the week :/

[austsilva]

When exactly do they stop count sales and streams for the week?

[crash1009]

Everyone lets spread the word. Do a word of mouth promotion for Glory but as always, Stream (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Youtube Vevo) and purchase the album everywhere its available.

[SamanthaBailey]

Today show MASSIVE promo too.  It the most watched morning show in US.  When she perform she gonna get big boost.  You'll see hos. Brinty NEVA do promo so chart predictions have nothin to compare to.  It gonna surge after performance 

[DarkBlue]

[ChrisTheLoner]

I hate how all these other crappy artists just had to pick the release week of Glory to release their shitty albums

I honestly hate Frank Oceanarium, Grandma Struedel, and Hillbilly Georgia Line

[BrittonJeanSpears]

125k is #1, now?  I remember the days when 1,000,000 would land you in the top 5.
