TOP 15: NOW WITH EXTRA GRAVY

Metallica will debut on both our SPS and Sales chart at #1. Meanwhile, Pentatonix will see both their new holiday album and their previous seasonal set in the Album Sales Top 10 as tinsel time edges closer. Due to early pre Black Friday promotions, please expect a greater than usual margin of error.

NEW RELEASES: NOW EVEN LOUDER (UPDATE)

Metallica will debut at #1 on both our SPS and Album Sales charts with the year’s third best-selling debut. Bruno Mars’ projection, meanwhile, increases considerably from our one-day estimates, with further growth possible following his fiery performance at this weekend’s American Music Awards.

Metallica (Blackened) 305-315k SPS, 295-305k album
Bruno Mars (WMG) 200-210k, 175-185k
Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 140-150k, 130-140k
DNCE (Republic) 24-26k, 18-20k
Sixx A.M. (Eleven Seven) 16-18k, 15-17k

NEW RELEASES: TURNED UP TO 11

Based on early reads, Metallica looks set to own next week's SPS and Album Sales charts, as the rock giants return with Hardwired... to Self-Destruct. Miranda Lambert and Bruno Mars bring the week's other two big bows; Bruno's forthcoming AMA and 60 Minutes appearances could give his first-week numbers a boost.

Metallica (Blackened) 260-280k SPS, 250-270k albums
Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 145-155k SPS, 135-145k albums
Bruno Mars (WMG) 140-150k SPS, 110-120k albums
