After releasing November 13th, Justin Bieber’s fourth studio album Purpose managed to swiftly surpass Adele’s incredibly successful release of 25 to peak atop the Billboard 200 chart, earning Bieber the sixth No.1 album of his career. Generating more than 649,000 units sold in its first week, with 522,000 of those units being pure album sales, Purpose now stands as the pop star’s most impressive sales week ever. Bieber’s 2012 release of Believe takes the second slot, tallying just above 374,000 copies sold in the first week. In fact, the only artist to accumulate bigger results within the opening week was Taylor Swift, as her 1989 album accounted for a staggering 1.29 million units sold.
