traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
21 Savage's 'I
Am > I Was' Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
21 Savage scored his first No.1 on
the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart (BB200) with the chart-topping bow of I Am > I Was. The set was released
on Dec. 21 via Slaughter Gang/Epic Records and launches with 131,268 equivalent album units (17,870)
[151,871,930 streams] earned in the week ending Dec. 27, according to Nielsen
Music. Of that sum, 18,000 were in traditional album sales, as the bulk of the album was
driven by streaming activity.
Top
Country Albums now ranks the most popular country albums of the week, as
compiled by Nielsen Music, based on multi-metric consumption (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA)).
10 digital track sales from an
album = 1 track equivalent album (TEA)
“sale”
1,500 on demand song streams from
an album to one streaming equivalent album (SEA) “sale”.

Nielsen’s sales data.
