TOP 15: HOLIDAY QUEST EDITION
Epic’s A Tribe Called Quest will score #1 on our SPS chart this Friday. Target’s exclusive Garth Brooks box set may challenge Tribe for #1 on the album chart, however. Following his passing last week, Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker and The Essential Leonard Cohen see big jumps in sales and streams. On the album chart, Leslie Odom, Jr. is set for a possible Top 10 debut with his S-Curve Christmas collection.
