For a long time, The billboard top 200 list would not count album sales that were sold exclusively to just certain stores until today. Now as of today, The billboard top 200 list will now count all the albums that are released even if they have a exclusive right to a certain store or not. This change was due to The Eagles and their walmart deal. For more info, Here is the link to that article.

The article estimated the total sales at 711,000, But the official sales after the first week are at 707,253 which are US sales. The oversales are at about 135,000 copies sold which makes the album a multi-platinum album at this time.
