Sales Numbers – Week Ending 08/31/2017

Fifth Harmony currently has the 4th best selling album of the week and are 5th on the combined chart. “Fifth Harmony” is their 3rd studio album and their first as a quartet. While their lead-off single (“Done”) wasn’t quite the success as their lead-off single from their previous album (“Work from Home”), a top 5 slot is a possibility. “7/27” (their previous album named after they day they were formed on X-Factor) opened with 74K, 49K in sales.

Their former band-mate, Camila Cabello (album to be released Sept 22nd) is featured on the “NOW 63” album which is 13th in sales and 47th on combined. Also on that album are Niall Horan and James Arthur. Carrie Underwood is featured on Keith Urban’s album “Ripcoord” which is 37th in sales.

No song revenue chart today – they are probably had to go out and by a new calculator with an additional digit to count up all of Taylor’s money from “Look What You Made Me Do”. In other news, UMG had $1.5B in revenue in Q2 and streaming appears to be worth $5B a year.

In another summer round-up, Spotify named the 30 most streamed songs of the summer. “Despotic” won of course, but these familiar names were also on the list:

Global:
9. Liam Payne – Strip That Down (feat. Quavo)
26. Niall Horan – Slow Hands

US:
13. Liam Payne – Strip That Down (feat. Quavo)
30. Niall Horan – Slow Hands
