NEW RELEASES: THE KEY MAN COMETH

DJ Khaled may challenge Drake for #1 this week on our Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) chart, but we’re giving Drizzy the lead for now, thanks to the minimal week-to-week erosion of his streaming. Drake is expected to land no lower than in the 75-80k range next week. While Khaled is currently in the runner-up spot, he had strong first-day sales with his Apple-exclusive Major Key, which will be the week's top-selling album. Here are this week’s top debuts.

DJ Khaled (We The Best/Epic) 67-72k SPS, 45-50k album
Jake Owen (RCA Nashville) 35-40k, 30-35k
Fantasia (RCA) 29-34k, 28-32k

In election news, Donald Trump took to Twitter to respond to the charge that he lacks gravitas, tweeting that his critics were "dumb, stupid idiots" and adding a frowny-faced emoji.
