NEW RELEASES: AN ILLUMINATING SURVEY (UPDATE)

Shawn Mendes will take the #1 spots on both our SPS and album charts Friday with his Illuminate. Here’s what we know today.

Shawn Mendes (Island) 133-138k SPS, 117-121k album
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 24-27k, 21-24k
Bruce Springsteen (Columbia) 22-25k, 21-24k
My Chemical Romance (Reprise) 14-16k, 13-15k
David Crowder (SixSteps) 14-16k, 13-15k
Trolls Soundtrack (RCA) 13-15k, 10-12k
Idina Menzel (Warner Bros.) 12-14k, 11-13k

For the um, record, Bryan’s release is an EP, Springsteen’s a package of demos, unreleased early tracks and hits to accompany his highly touted autobiography, and Trolls is not the next big Justin Timberlake album (though it boasts the smash “Can’t Stop the Feeling”). In a related story, the number of lies told by Donald Trump last week has been updated to 13k.
