Billboard : http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6762503/justin-bieber-purpose-and-one-direction-no-1-on-billboard-200-albums-chart

Initial forecasts suggest Bieber's 'Purpose' has early lead over One Direction's 'Made in the A.M.' 

As of Nov. 14, industry forecasters say it’s too close to call, but Bieber may have the edge in overall equivalent album units -- and for No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Sources suggest Purpose (SchoolBoy/Raymond Braun/Def Jam Records) could shift an overall 475,000 to 500,000 units in the week ending Nov. 19 (with pure album sales comprising perhaps 425,000 to 450,000 of that total). As for Made in the A.M. (SYCO/Columbia Records), it’s tracking to move around 450,000 to 475,000 total units (with about 425,000 to 450,000 in album sales).

Justin Bieber gets the edge today over One Direction after one full day of sales. He has taken a commanding lead on the digital front, dropping just over half after the overnight Thursday preorder redemptions. As it stands now, Bieber will score his best ever opening week, beating the 374k of 2012's Believe.

Justin Bieber (Def Jam) 425-450k albums, 475-500k consumption
One Direction (SYCO/Columbia) 415-440k albums, 450-475k consumption
Logic (Def Jam) 85-90k albums, 90-95k consumption
Jeezy (Def Jam) 60-65k albums, 65-70k consumption
Chris Young (RCA Nashville) 50-55k albums, 55-60k consumption

I still don't understand why on earth did BB included TEA for an ALBUM chart. Buying individual tracks means you don't want The album so how The hell do they count towards album's popularity, its The opposite! They should count for hot100. Streaming I can understand.

I'm so happy! Purpose really deserves it! It's such a mature sounding album, I really like it while 1D's new album is well apart from Bring Me Down I haven't listened to the rest :laughga:

Bieber's success gives me hope for Gaga's comeback.

the thing is, Bieber literally quit music, while gaga is still performing her jazz, covers and went on a worldwide tour, which I think is a stupid move.

It just doesnt make sence... Besides, TEA does care in a sence how many different tracks you bought. It counts tracks. Therefore hit singles artificially boost album sales. (This is a bit OT though, but The reason Biibs takes The lead artificially)
