Metallica 72 Seasons Chart Debut

[nyoilers]

I'm guessing that Metallica will be number 1 on Billboard's top 200 but are there any guesses as to the number of cds sold ?

I'm gonna guess high and go for 400,000

CDs? No, probably closer to 40,000. But even that's likely high.

I’m talking overall sales but the physical and digital gets separated so album, cassette and CD totals ( physical) will be around 350,000

Looks like KarpetRyd was closer.Metallica actually opened at #2 with 146,000 total with 134,000 being the total for physical totals.

Is that 134,000 that got pinch from the stores or at secondhand stores.

It's the first week of sales so they are all just bought this week or pre-ordered and delivered.

Billboard doesn't keep track of secondhand stores and I'm not sure if there are any secondhand stores around

Here’s a breakdown of the totals:

 

Of 72 Seasons’ 134,000 sold, physical sales comprise 106,500 (59,000 on CD, 42,500 on vinyl and 5,000 on cassette) and digital download sales comprise nearly 27,500. The vinyl sales sum marks Metallica’s largest sales week for an album on the format since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991
