Not simply poised to win the pure sales race, “The Album About Nothing” will also claim the top spot on the revamped, consumption-oriented Billboard 200. Other top performers in the pure sales race include Darius Rucker’s new “Southern Style” (~50,630), Death Cab for Cutie’s “Kintsugi” (~44,876), “Kidz Bop 28” (~41,780), Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~39,038), Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour” (~37,434), the “Furious 7” soundtrack (~36,093), Sufjan Stevens’ “Carrie and Lowell” (~34,464), Three Days Grace’s “Human” (~33,955), the “Empire” soundtrack (~31,543) and Hollywood Undead’s “Day of the Dead” (~29,787).
Ludacris’ new “Ludaversal” grabs the #2 slot on the strength of its ~58,830.

That album is not, however, Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly.”Įnding the Kendrick album’s two-week streak, Wale’s “The Album About Nothing” convincingly wins the weekly sales race.
