Street Pulse has posted it's sales predictions for first week on the albums that dropped on 3/10.
StreetPulse is a product of Bean Stream, Inc. and is a private company that markets point of sale software that collects and compiles sales data. They sell this information to music labels and other industry parties.
They assemble data much like Soundscan, and release projected sales charts weekly, which several of the industry trade journals also publish, but their data is not used in generating the Billboard chart.
Their early report for sales on the 3/10 releases places The Distance ....
#17 in sales
These are preliminary numbers.
On Monday afternoon HDD, the leading predictor of first week sales will begin posting their numbers. While HDD is a private group, and only posts estimates, their numbers and rankings are incredibly accurate, and seldom are there any surprises between their predictions and the final Soundscan numbers.
More about HDD as the numbers start reporting.
