This is so cool!! DISCO was a great album, and so is Tension. She deserves every bit of success she's havinf in this popularity peak!!

Kylie came to slay once again. I hope she will manage to overcome Disco’s opening numbers (54k). Disco is the superior album, but Kylie deserves all the success!

So glad to see her slaying again! She deserves this!

What a time to be a LOVER! She deserves all this success  

I'm so happy for her, she's a living legend. The album gets better with each listening, which is a good thing and I LOVE THE NEW TRACKS, Drum is a bop.

Nah, it's the amount of sales resulting from streams. I don't know the ratios but X amount of streams will be converted into the equivalent of 1 sale

Right - for the UK, it works like this: "Under the new methodology, Official Charts Company takes the 12 most-streamed tracks from an album, with the top two songs being given lesser weight so that the figure will reflect the popularity of the album as a whole rather than of one or two successful singles. The adjusted total is divided by 1000 and added to the album sales figure."

Tension and DISCO truly saved her career from those last 2 soccer mom pop eras.

maybe the entire album? IDK it doesn't make sense... It can't be streams of each song combined.... 

This is just an SPS (sales per stream; also can be called track equivalent streams/sales) number. I'm not sure if it's the same in the UK, but in the us, 500 streams = 1 sale. 

So if we assume it's the same in the UK, we can see it's sold 1,675 streaming units, soyou just gotta do the math. 

1,675 x 500 = 837,500 streams for that tracking week.

EDIT: @nswain1110 explained the UK system above so that's what it means for this chart, but there's the US version for you LMAO

in the US 3,750 streams on a free account or 1,250 on a paid/premium account = 1 unit/album sale
