SIA released a single on YouTube that has been viewed 64 million times. It's also been streamed on Spotify 33 million times.
So maybe it's not surprising that the album she released last week reached #1.
But the album only had 52K in sales.
Quote:it’s the lowest sales figure for a #1 album in nearly two years and arrives during the lowest album sales week in US Chart history.
Numbers like that must make it hard to justify signing anyone.
SIA's previous peak positions were #26 (for 2008′s Some People Have Real Problems) and #37 (for 2010′s We Are Born).
"Some people..." sold 20,000 copies the first week --- same as Haley's
Listen Up!, which debuted at #17.
