TOP 15: SELENA TAKES THE LEAD
It’s still close at midweek—also known as Tuesday—but for now we’re giving a slight edge to Interscope’s Selena Gomez for #1 on Friday’s album chart. Gomez stretches her lead considerably, however, when tracks and streams are factored in. eOne’s The Game is holding up surprisingly well with The Documentary 2 and driving interest in this Friday’s release of his follow-up, The Documentary 2.5. Here’s how it looks at midweek.
*Selena Gomez (Interscope) 80-85k albums, 105-115k SPS
*The Game (eOne) 75-80k, 85-95k
The Weeknd (XO/Republic) 33-38k, 70-75k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine/BMLG) 20-25k, 35-40k
*Jana Kramer (Warner Bros. Nashville) 19-22k, 21-24k
Don Henley (Capitol) 18-21k, 18-21k
Janet Jackson (BMG/Rhythm Nation) 17-20k, 21-24k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 17-20k, 25-28k
Now 55 (NOW) 15-18k
Drake & Future (YMCMB/Republic/Epic) 15-18k, 50-55k
Thomas Rhett (Valory/BMLG) 16-19k, 24-27k

In political news, tonight's Democratic debate is expected to suffer in the ratings due to its probable lack of Kung Fu battles.
for both Selena and The Game.
