An album selling less than its predecessor is a common thing nowadays. Some of it does come down to trends: a band that was doing hot three or four years ago might experience a dip in popularity. And then there’s streaming, which has had a huge impact on people buying actual albums. In the case of this week’s edition of MBN, Bring Me The Horizon’s new album debuted with 71% less in sales compared to its 2015 predecessor, which remains their best debut to date. Other bands from this year have already experiences similar dips like Papa Roach’s debut last week. But its not like that for every band; some manage to out do their previous debuts, even if by only a little. MONO is one such band, and you can check out how their new album did down below.
