YOUR NEW RELEASES, GRAMMY EDITION

Next Week's Chart Champs Split the Crown

The Now series looks like it will notch another #1 on next week’s sales chart with its 53rd volume. What’s not clear yet is which album will be #1 on the SPS chart. Next week will likely mark the first time the two charts have different winners.

Vying for the SPS crown will be Taylor Swift and, depending on how quickly the audience reacts to Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. Meanwhile, SYCO/Epic's Fifth Harmony looks to be off to a strong start. Here are this week’s key debuts:

Now 53 (NOW/Legacy) 85-95k
Fifth Harmony (SYCO/Epic) 60-65k sales, 70-75k SPS
Bob Dylan (Columbia) 40-45k sales, 40-45k SPS
Diana Krall (Verve) 40-45k sales, 45-50k SPS
Kid Ink (RCA) 25-27k sales, 27-29k SPS
Jeremy Camp (Capitol) 18-20k sales, 20-22k SPS
Now Movies (NOW/Legacy) 15-17k
