Will "Tortured Poets Department" outsell "1989 (Taylor's Version)" during its first week? (1.653M units)

Question

Source: I will use the Wikipedia pages for Billboard 200 for number-one albums.

"1989 (Taylor's Version)", the re-recording of her 2014 classic, released in October 2023. It was enormously successful, entering the Billboard 200 (issue date of November 11th) with 1,653,000 album-equivalent units sold during that first week.

"The Tortured Poets Department" is Swift's highly anticipated 11th studio album, releasing April 19th, 2024.

This market resolves YES if "The Tortured Poets Department" sells more than 1,653,000 album-equivalent units during its first week on the Billboard 200.

What matters here is the first week that TTPD enters on the Billboard 200—however they choose to define that time period. Similarly, it is being compared to the first week that "1989 (Taylor's Version)" appeared on the chart (not its entire run).

My default source will be linked Wikipedia page, but if for some reason that is taking a long time to update I can resolve this market using the same sources the page typically links.

Please ask if there are any edge cases that are unclear.
