Miss Jones vs. Day 26 (They Came In Number 1 With 190k)
The new Bad Boy album moved 190,000 copies this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a marked decline from Danity Kane’s 236,000-copy start last week. Day26 is the first new male group to open at No. 1 since 2001, when D12 bowed on top with “Devil’s Night.” It’s also the highest bow for a debut album by a group since Danity Kane’s eponymous first set started at No. 1 in 2006.
Damn 190k, that is unexpected, R&B is crushing rap in terms of sales.
