Jeezy and Logic Debut in Top-5 in This Week’s Sales Recap

Logic's The Incredible True Story and Jeezy's Church In These Streets come in at No. 3 and No. 4 respectively in this week's Billboard Top 200 chart. For Logic, it marks his second top-5 debut as last year's Under Pressure (135,000 units; 118,000 in album sales) came in at No. 4. For Jeezy, Church In These Streets (107,000 units; 98,000 in album sales) is the rapper's sixth straight top-4 debut and the lowest ranking on the chart since 2011's TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition came in at No. 3. With the high sales of Justin Bieber's Purpose (No. 1, 649,000 equivalent album units), Alessia Cara's Know-It-All (No. 9, 36,000 units equivalent album units) and Jeezy and Logic's albums, Def Jam owns four of the top 10 spots on the chart. It is the first time that a label has held down three out of the top four since Columbia Records did so in June of 2012.

Elsewhere on the chart, Ty Dolla $ign's Free TC  came in at No. 18 with just over 22,000 sold according to HITS Daily Double. Ty dedicated the album to his incarcerated brother in hopes of raising awareness of his sibling's situation. “I called my album ‘Free TC,’ because I’m on a mission to free my brother TC,” Ty said. “He’s been wrongly accused and by releasing this album, I want to raise awareness to the racial and social injustices and mass incarceration that’s going on in our country right now. This is more than just an album; it’s a movement.”

Finally, the Hamilton soundtrack comes in at No. 46 with 10,392 sold.
