I just ordered another copy on CD, and I've been telling anyone who might seem to care about how excellent this album is, especially younger people who may not know too much about the band.
Total units: 59,000 Total sales: 52,000 Vinyl sales: 24,000
There were 9.33 million on-demand streams of the 11 songs on the album, which translates, along with free streams, to the 7,000 streaming-equivalent units that account for the difference between 52,000 and 59,000.
The album debuts at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
(Taylor Swift had 2.61 total units, of which 1.91 million were pure sales, of which 859,000 were vinyl.)

Damn. So less than Gigaton
How many of the 9.33 million streams were yours? I'm putting the over/under at 5.2 million.
We knew that. It probably won't be in the top 50. But remember that it's misleading. They cannot measure the consumption of physical media. So while Future & Metro Boomin and Morgan Wallen rack up streams that get counted every week, Pearl Jam sells albums that get counted once. All the people spinning their LPs and CDs at home in week two count for zero on the Billboard 200. It's a stupid chart at this point and we shouldn't put any weight on it. Expect the album to remain in the top ten on Top Album Sales.

Yea I know. It's difficult because you can see why they would count it. But how do they come up with the numbers that count as 1 sale. Sometimes these plays especially for rap and pop songs are used for dance parties or whatever. Or just in the background in general. There's more of that than rock/metal
Thought Wreckage would be blowing up. Waiting for Stevie isn't getting much traction either. Just going by youtube and Spotify
Pearl Jam doesn't really get streamed much. I'll be interested to see if the radio momentum for "Wreckage" carried over into the second week of release.

I know. But sometimes there are exceptions. At least in the digital downloads. Want it to get past the Rock stations. Maybe Hot AC at least.
The album falls to No. 19 in sales and to No. 171 on the Billboard 200 in its second week.
Damn. I don't think Gigaton was on the 2nd week or probably in the 180s. Still thought this album would have done better. Tour started in Canada so don't know how much it will help here for next week's chart.
I saw this post yesterday on facebook. And this person said she finally received the album and was the first time she listened since the theater experience. I know it's just one person. But I've seen similar posts. She had 3 weeks to stream or listen on YouTube. You think Taylor fans are waiting an extra 3 weeks to listen to new songs?

No, Gigaton was No. 7 in sales and No. 66 on the Billboard 200 in its second week.
