Justin Bieber Easily Tops The Billboard 200

  • 8 years ago
It was expected to be a hard-fought battle one comprised of scrapping, clawing and crazed tween girls!
Ultimately, Justin Bieber handily outperformed British boy band One Direction for the number one spot on the Billboard 200.
Both Justin Bieber and One Direction touted impressive, robust numbers, but the discrepancy between the two is shocking.
Let's break down the numbers, shall we?
Justin Bieber's Purpose ended up impacting to the tune of 649,000 units, hence making Purpose the highest debuting album of 2015.
Even considering that 80% of that total make up pure sales, that's still a beastly 522,00 copies!
Anybody topping that number other than Taylor Swift of the forthcoming Adele juggernaut that is 25 would be arduous and even One Direction couldn't do it.
