Everything indicates that Taylor Swift will not maintain her first place in Quebec album sales for long. The Cowboys Fringants are breathing down his neck.
According to a statement from the firm Soundscan (which records music sales in Canada) to which The newspaper had access, 5806 copies of the album Royal Pub were sold in Quebec for the period from April 19 to 25. It’s good for second place, behind the album’s 8,462 sales The Tortured Poets Departmentfrom the American superstar.
However, the statistics for Taylor Swift, whose latest album was released on April 19, cover the seven days of the review period, while Royal Pubpublished on the night of April 24 to 25, only benefited from one day of sales.
We can therefore deduce that, if the Cowboys Fringants album had been launched at the same time as that of Taylor Swift, it would have easily ended the week at the top of the charts.
In addition, the 5806 copies of Royal Pub were sold in digital format or in album equivalent for online listening. The physical disc is released on May 10 and the vinyl version is scheduled for June.
Next week, in addition to the expected presence of Royal Pub at the top of Quebec sales, we can foresee a return to the charts of one or more albums by Jean-Pierre Ferland, who died on Saturday.
