Bruno Mars sold over 200,000 copies of 24K Magic in its first week, but it only lands him at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 chart.
Metallica sold 291,000 copies — nearly all which were traditional sales — to land at No. 1 this week, according to Billboard. Ninth-grade Patrick would be ecstatic.
24K Magic sold 231,000 copies (194,000 traditional), which are Bruno’s best first-week sales and 40,000 more than 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox.
A Tribe Called Quest’s We Got it From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service remains in the top five after its No. 1 debut last week selling 59,000 copies in its second week.
Drake’s Views, the Hamilton soundtrack, which will soon get remixed on the Hamilton mixtape later this week, and Rae Sremmurd’s SremmLife 2 (thanks to “Black Beatles”) remained in the Top 10 as well.
