Tinashe’s ‘Aquarius’ Debuts At No. 16 In This Week’s Album Sales (10/15/14)

Tinashe's debut album, Aquarius debuted at No. 16 on the charts this week, a slightly disappointing showing for an album which had a lead single "2 On" that was arguably the song of the summer. In comparison, one of Tinashe's contemporaries, Jhené Aiko, debuted at No. 3 on the charts last month with 71,230 units sold of her Souled Out album, with less radio friendly singles in "The Pressure" and "To Love & Die."

In the hip-hop world, Childish Gambino's Kauai is the highest charting hip-hop album for the second consecutive week. Gambino's album sold more units this week than in his debut week, selling 18,159 units and remaining at the No. 17 spot. Flying Lotus's You're Dead sold a respectable 10,303 units in its debut week, a solid showing for an independent release. Fly Lo's album took the No. 31 spot. Lecrae's Anomaly sold 9,896 units this past week, grabbing the No. 33 spot. Jeezy's Seen It All will undoubtedly reach the 200,000 units sold threshold next week, but for the time being, the album sold 9,403 units over the past week, netting the album the No. 35 spot. To round things out,  Iggy Azalea returns to the charts after a one-week break, with her album The New Classic selling 5,799 units, taking the No. 49 spot. Wiz Khalifa's Blacc Hollywood has fallen out of the Top 50 for the first time since its release back in August.

Outside of the hip-hop world, Keyshia Cole's Point Of No Return debuted at No. 11 on the charts, selling a solid 21,809 units. Chris Brown's X took the No. 19 spot this week, selling 15,899 units over the course of the past week. The aforementioned Aiko sold 5,871 units of her Souled Out album, grabbing the No. 47 spot. And to round out the charts, Trey Songz's Trigga took the No. 50 spot, selling 5,483 units.
