Top 15 not coming tonight.

We'll have a full Top 15 for you tomorrow; in the meantime, here's how much music the late, great Prince (who will have five titles in that rundown) is likely to move on this week's chart. All these titles are on WMG.

The Very Best Of Prince 220-250k album, 360-380k SPS
Purple Rain 115-130k, 125-140k
Hits/B-Sides 50-60k, 75-85k
Ultimate 30-40k, 35-45k
1999 25-30k, 28-32k

Note that single sales have been exploding, and these account for the vast majority of the margin between albums and SPS; streaming is exclusively through Tidal.

So she's #1

The album is amazing. Deserved

The Very Best Of Prince 220-250k album, 360-380k SPS

Is that saying 360-380K will be the total BB200 figure prediction, or does the 220-250k have to be added on top of that?

If it is the former then Bey has #1 on lock?

[Shelter]

Are they including TIDAL then?

#1 is locked then. I expected Prince to do 400+

380 is SPS so that is the total. The 250 is pure sales.

tidal ruined her chances of a million plus ADELE shattering record

360-380k is the BB200 figure.
LEMONADE will be #1.

I'll gasp out loud if Prince snatches it from her

[Doogle]

If that's Prince's SPS and it's mainly based on iTunes, can anyone predict what Beyoncé's will be like?

360K-380K would be the total (220K-250K would be the pure sales).

What a relief, I really thought she wasn't gonna make it

At this point the best thing Beyonce has in her favor is the tour effect which starts tomorrow.

The tour videos will be all over Instagram, it will more than likely be the #1 trending topic on all social media outlets, and Khaled will turn it up on his Snapchat (Plus the tour starts in his hometown so he is going to be EXTRA hype!)

The tour seems next level too, and Beyonce ALWAYS takes her songs to new levels when she performs them live. So casual listeners will want to buy the album and singles after seeing that.

Great promo strategy by Beyonce.

I love Prince but I am so happy for Bey.

6th #1 album on lock. Record setting QUEEN

It looks like she'll have it, barring unforeseen circumstances. I was worried that Prince would pull a 500-600k SPS but it's not even that close here

We knew she could do it, but it is great to see. Plus, Prince already went #1 last week.

[Jet]

Come on Bey pull through. Her sabotage will not stop her from breaking that album record!

[giRLbye.]

i'm suprised anybody thought beyonce wasn't going to go #1

This pic is going to be all over the news this week and into next
