• Robin Schulz has the honour of the lowest selling album on the new chart when looking at his pure sales. He sold just 982 copies of "Prayer", but with TEA and SEA included, he debuts at #74 on the Billboard 200 with 13,368 units.

• Taylor Swift's "1989" has the highest pure sales figure on the chart. It sol sold 281,212 copies the old-fashioned way, that is an actual physical or digital copy of the complete album.

• "1989" also has the highest number of TEA with 58,040 units. Even without this figure, Taylor would still have returned to #1.

• Beyonce also benefited greatly from track downloads & streaming, with 24,618 TEA units added to her total for "Beyonce [Platinum Edition] (More)". Her pure sales figure of 42,959 would have seen her debut outside the Top 10 on the old chart.

• The popularity of "The Hanging Tree" has greatly helped "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part I: Score", with 20,371 TEA units added to its total. Without TEA, the film score wouldn't even have debuted in the Top 100 of the old chart, as it only sold 4,092 copies.

• One Direction's "FOUR" took the honours for highest number of stream equivalent albums (SEA), with 7,208 SEA added to its total, but it doesn't look like this component is going to have too much of an effect just yet.

• Coldplay have 2 versions of "Ghost Stories" on the Billboard 200. The Billboard common songs rule means that TEA and SEA albums were added to the live version of the album as it sold more than the studio album (7,836 vs 6,606), even it was the studio versions of the songs that were being downloaded and streamed more. The result being that the live version debuted at #93 on the Billboard 200 (11,205 units), while the studio version fell to #160 (6,747 units).

• Iggy Azalea's re-release of her debut album has several songs in common with the original, and in terms of pure sales, both albums sold an almost identical amount - "Reclassified" sold 13,813 copies while "The New Classic" sold 13,637. Because of the common songs rule, TEA and SEA units were added to the re-issue, resulting in "Reclassified" debuting at #27 the Billboard 200 (33,638 units), with "The New Classic" having to settle for #70 (14,155 units).
