Like that for the Songz album, the total represents a decline from the previous album’s opening sales figure. Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour” claims #3 with 45,000, while Seether’s “Isolate and Medicate” debuts at #4 on the strength of 37,000.
It follows the aforementioned “Chapter V” in becoming Songz’ second number one album.Įd Sheeran’s “x,” which led last week’s chart with sales of more than 200,000, slips to #2 with 53,000 on this week’s Billboard 200. While the opening week sales tally of 105,000 marks a decline from the 135,000 moved by predecessor “Chapter V,” it was enough to secure “Trigga” the number one spot. As projected, Trey Songz’ “Trigga” debuts atop the weekly Billboard 200 album sales chart.
