Here Are the First Week Numbers for Juice WRLD’s ‘Fighting Demons’
Written by SOURCE on December 20, 2021
Juice WRLD’s latest release wasn’t enough to topple Adele’s 30, which has taken up something of a residency at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Her latest offering has now held steady atop the chart for an entire month straight after moving 183,000 equivalent album units in its latest week, Billboard reports. It’s the first album to spend four consecutive weeks at No. 1 since Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album in March. 30 joins Dangerous, Certified Lover Boy by Drake, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour as the only albums released this year to spend at least four weeks atop the albums chart.
The latest sum for 30 is comprised almost entirely of album sales (146,500), with 35,000 units consisting of SEA units, equaling 47.3 million on-demand streams of the set’s track.
Taylor Swift’s re-recorded album, Red (Taylor’s Version), has been bumped from its usual No. 2 spot to third, after experiencing another considerable dip in sales. Despite its steady decline, Red (Taylor’s Version) has seen more Billboard success than its re-recorded predecessor, Fearless.
Taylor’s drop paved the way for Juice WRLD’s Fighting Demons, which slid into the No. 2 spot. Released two days after the two-year anniversary of his tragic passing, Demons earned 119,000 equivalent album units in its debut week, with streaming driving almost all of its total, to the tune of 110,000 units, equaling 155.49 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs.
Demons was accompanied by the release of the HBO Max documentary Juice WRLD: Into The Abyss. Click here to read our review of the doc.
