Not Even Metallica Could Have Won This Election

Soundscan Surprises, Week Ending 11/3

Back-catalog sales numbers of note from Nielsen SoundScan.

The definition of “back catalog” is: “at least 18 months old, have fallen below №100 on the Billboard 200 and do not have an active single on our radio.”

Good morning, America. These are your top ten back catalog record sales from last week. Adele is tied with Kidz Bop for number eight, and Donald Trump is the President-Elect of the United States of America. That’s all.
