Based on optimistic predictions from last week, The Weeknd has achieved placing his fifth album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow“, at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, as reported by Billboard.
In the week ending on February 6, the 22-track album sold or streamed approximately 490,500 unit equivalents, as reported by Luminate. Interestingly, this number is the largest first-week sales figure for any album since Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” claimed the top spot last year in May with a massive 2.61 million album-equivalent units.
In summary, The Weeknd’s first-week sales consisted of:
* Physical album sales: 359,000 units
* Streaming equivalent albums (SEA): 13,500 units
* Traditional album equivalent units (TEA): 1,000 units
* Digital album sales: 183,000 units
* CD sales: 99,000 units
* Vinyl sales: 77,000 units
* Cassette sales: 1,000 units
The album sold the most units during its first week, setting a new record for The Weeknd’s biggest opening numbers in his career. Previously, albums like “After Hours” (2020), “My Dear Melancholy” (2018), “Starboy” (2016), and “Beauty Behind the Madness” (2015) all peaked at the top of the charts upon their debuts.
In other music rankings, Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish experienced substantial increases following the Grammy Awards last week. Roan’s album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” moved up from 14th place to 6th, while Eilish’s album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” climbed from 10th position to 5th on the chart.
