YOUR NEW RELEASES: With one day under their belts, we think that Lana Del Rey will come out with the gold on next week's album chart for Ultraviolence, but Sam Smith is closing the gap with In the Lonely Hour. We're certain, however, that Linkin Park will snag the bronze.
Lana Del Rey (Interscope) 170-190k Sam Smith (Capitol) 140-160k Linkin Park (Warner Bros.) 100-110k Willie Nelson (Legacy) 35-40k Jennifer Lopez (Capitol) 30-35k Deadmau5 (Mau5trap/Astralwerks) 25-30k Tiesto (Casablanca/Republic) 12-15k
We feel quite comforted and acknowledged this week, as we generally relate strongly to ultraviolence, loneliness and hunting. (6/18p)
Its only one day after release so I dont see how any source can give exact predictions. Sam is an unknown force and could overperform especially as he's doing TV promo this week.
I think Lana will be more front loaded and Sam will win in 5K lead.. please no Now they are closer! He has all the promo in the world + a big hit, she has nothing!
