The times, they are a changin’.ĭon’t be surprised to see more of this in the coming years, as streaming continues to burrow into the center of the music industry. Still, a #1 album with less than 1,000 in sales… damn. It’s just that 56,000 of those units derive from streaming - about 83 million on-demand track streams. Billboard notes that Hoodie SZN tallied the equivalent of 58,000 in sales - still low for a #1 album, but not nearly as pitiful looking for the music industry. The 823 figure is somewhat deceiving, of course. All of the sales were downloads, as Hoodie SZN has not been released in any physical formats. But there’s a catch: As the New York Times points out, Hoodie SZN sold only 823 copies, the lowest ever for a #1 album. This week, the album has moved past 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was to hit #1 on the Billboard 200. Last week, our Tom Breihan posted a scathing review of A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s generic new album Hoodie SZN.
