"Revival," the second record from 23-year-old Gomez, sold
85,000 albums and 198,000 songs, and was streamed 18.5 million
times in the week ending Oct. 15, totaling 117,000 units,
according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
The Billboard 200 chart tallies units from album sales, song
sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500
streams equal one album).
The Game, a native of Compton, Southern California, came in at
No. 2 with "Documentary 2," which sold 95,000 units, while
rapper The Weeknd dropped one spot to No. 3 as "Beauty Behind
the Madness" sold 77,000 units.
Last week's chart-topper, Janet Jackson's "Unbreakable," dropped
to No. 8 this week. The only other new entry in the top 10 this
week was actress and country singer Jana Kramer's "Thirty-One,"
at No. 10.
(This version of the story corrects headline to say The Game
debuts at No. 2, last paragraph to say "at No. 10" instead of
"the bottom of the group.")
