November 19, 2016, 8 years ago
Was there ever any doubt? According to Hits Daily Double, Metallica will easily top the Billboard Top 200 Album Sales chart with Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, predicting 250-270,000 copies during the tracking week. The inclusion of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) will bump that number up to 260-280,000 units.
As reported earlier, Metallica landed at #6 on Billboard’s Hot Tours list this week with $5.7 million in ticket sales from three performances in support of their new album Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. 69,407 tickets were sold to the band's shows in San Juan, Puerto Rico (October 26), a horseracing track in Bogotá, Colombia (November 1), and a concert at the national stadium of Costa Rica in San José (November 5). The tour also stopped in Ecuador and Guatemala, but those box office stats have not yet been reported.
