Mills 446 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Zac Brown Band notches its third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as its latest effort, Jekyll + Hyde, arrives atop the tally. The new set moved 214,000 in traditional album sales, marking the group’s second-largest sales frame (following the 234,000 sales launch of Uncaged). Coming in at No. 2 behind Zac Brown Band on the new Billboard 200 is singer Josh Groban, who lands his eighth top 10 album with Stages. The set opens with 180,000 units, of which 176,000 were pure album sales. For the first time since Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" opened with the year's biggest sales week so far in Nielsen Music reported sales last February along with the official soundtrack of Fifty Shades of Grey also debuting big, two albums once again have sold more than 150,000 units within the same week - both therefore easily entering the year's top 10 biggest sales weeks in pure album sales.
