Dierks Bentley comes in at two, Beyoncé is at three. Thrice ended up selling about 22,000 copies in their first week, landing itself the #15 on the charts. Views earned another 152,000 equivalent album units (down 19 percent) in the week ending June 2, according to Nielsen Music. More than half of that sum, 92,000 units, were comprised of streaming equivalent albums. Expand - View Original
It's always crazy to me when you see bands who can fill 1500-2000 cap venues in most any city in the country (Thrice and Saosin among them) and yet they can barely scratch 20,000 first week sales.
