Justin Bieber‘s fans have a big reason to celebrate right now – his album Purpose is expected to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart this week!

 

The 21-year-old singer will achieve his sixth number one album if the numbers hold up and he will be beating out One Direction‘s new album Made in the AM in the process.

 

Purpose is expected to sell 450,000 copies in its first week. The equivalent album units with streaming and other factors built in is 525,000.

 

One Direction will debut at number two on the chart this week with pure album sales of 400,000 to 425,000 copies. The group is expected to achieve 475,000 equivalent album units with streaming added in.

 

Both albums are performing a lot stronger than originally predicted. Industry experts had pegged both albums to debut with around 300,000 copies sold, so it shows that the fans sure are turning out in full force!

Justin did amazing this year. By getting older and doing better music he is gaining much more attention.

 

Which album did you like?

Which album do you like?

 

Me: NEIN!

 

Seriously though all that passive aggression and shade they were throwing at each other.. Justin should thank Jesus he came on top because he was cocky as shit a few weeks ago. Would have been embarrassing if he sold less. LMAO

That was for both versions. Yeah but it wasnt sold or counted in a single week.

I just think K-POP works differently. Anyways, are those units physical because I would be more impressed if thats physical because wow. I don't know many people who'd actually would buy a physical album from american artist anymore....

For Billboard They count digital (downloads and streams) and physical albums together because they even have the same price (not like kpop which have high album price for physicals and lower in digital).

1D's album is much better but good for Justin, Lord know he needed a comeback. Btw this is only for the U.S though right?

 

Yeah only the US :smile:

 

 

1D's numbers are better than previous album which was lower than 400k. I think it was 380k also the singles this year, Drag Me Down and Perfect did much better than their 2014 singles.
