Just some more chart info to sort of get a feel of how U2 may do.
Pink obviously a huge debut, powered heavily by the ticket promo, but also just did really well on its own
Gucci Mane at number 2 70,000 units. - I'm not a rap guy, but I know he's a pretty big name, and this is not the greatest showing. it was heavily helped by streaming. Only 21,000 in traditional albums sold.
Beck number 3 with 46,000. That's pretty bleak for Alt/Rock. And what gives me pause with U2's numbers. Beck is a major artist, is on tour, opened for U2, did a lot of social media promotion and some live tv promo stuff.
I am still feeling comfortable with my initial guess for U2. Obviously it all hinges on if they do a ticket thing. But if they don't, i think 140k to 160k is a good number for them. Anything higher than that would be outstanding and show that they did the lead up to this album right.
this is a good article that gives some more detail on ticket for album promotional tie ins:
