Early reads

CAVEAT LECTOR, UPDATE: Is this thing tightening up? Early, early reads in advance of next week's three-way chart battle have Interscope's Lana Del Rey at 175-200k, Capitol's Sam Smith at 140-160k and Warner Bros.' Linkin Park at 110-120. Take these with the usual grains of Tuesday salt and stand by for further updates. At iTunes, Sam has jumped to #1, followed by Lana and Linkin, while Sam's standard edition is #6; on the singles side, Sam's "Stay With Me" is #5. (6/17p)
