Taylor Swift's latest single, "Call It What You
Want," led the digital songs chart, which measures online
singles sales, with some 67,000 units sold.
Swift's "Reputation" album sold more than 717,000 copies on
Friday, its first day of release, according to BuzzAngle Music
data, and is expected to debut at the top of the Billboard 200
chart next week.
Smith's "The Thrill of it All" sold more than 237,000 units in
its first week to debut as No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Billboard said it was Smith's best sales week ever in the United
States.
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).
Maroon 5's "Red Pill Blues" album took the No. 2 spot with sales
of some 122,000 units for the week, while country singer
Shelton's "Texoma Shore" debuted in fourth place.
The new releases sent last week's chart topper, country star
Kenny Chesney's "Live in No Shoes Nation," down to sixth place.
Rapper Chris Brown's "Heartbreak on a Full Moon" retained its
No. 3 spot, while "Without Warning," the collaboration between
rappers 21 Savages, Offset and producer Metro Boomin, slipped
one place to No. 5.
