The Final Numbers Are In: Bryson Tiller Tops Billboard 200 With ‘True To Self’



It’s true;  Bryson Tiller‘s sophomore album, ‘True To Self,’ has captured the crown of the
 Billboard 200.
As we reported here, the set – which hit shelves a month before its previously announced  
release date – was predicted to move 110-130k SPS its first week (which, if met, 
would equate to over 5 times that of the first week sales of his inaugural release,  
‘Trap Soul’).
Now that the tallying week has ended, industry analysts have revealed the 
rapper/singer’s final first week sum.  Tuck in below to find out what it is:



‘True To Self’ First Week Sales:  107,000 SPS

Pure Sales:  47,000

According to Billboard:
The set, which was released through TrapSoul/RCA Records on May 26, earned 107,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 1, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 47,000 were in traditional album sales.
True to Self was released a month earlier than its expected June 23 street date, and is the follow-up to Tiller’s debut set, Trapsoul. The latter set peaked at No. 8 on the chart in January of 2016, and helped Tiller finish the year as Billboard’s top new artist. Trapsoul has earned 1.6 million equivalent album units, of which 441,000 are in traditional album sales.
