There was some confusion regarding Cruel Summer‘s digital release on iTunes but that has been sorted out and is currently available for purchase here.
Taking that into consideration, HDD reports that the album is on course to move 170-190k in the first week and good enough for a number 2 spot on Billboard 200 this week, behind Pink!’s The Truth About Love which is set to move 200-225k. Considering that the album falls short of outstanding, this looks like a decent number. Does this meet your expectations?
