Unless something unexpected drops (and that’s always a possibility these days), The Lumineers are lined up to take the #1 spots on both our sales and SPS charts next Friday (4/15)—which also happens to be the IRS filing deadline, but that’s another story. You’ll note that two of the three top debuts are on indie labels, which hasn’t happened in some time. There’s no projection yet for Kanye West, but we hope to have that hole filled by Monday.
Here’s how things are shaping up one day into the new sales week:
Lumineers (Dualtone) 75-80k album, 80-85k SPS
Deftones (Reprise) 38-43k album, 40-45k SPS
Zakk Wylde (eOne) 14-17k album, 15-18k SPS
