NEW RELEASES:
BON CHANCE

Bon Iver gets the edge this morning for #1 on this week’s HITS SPS and Album Sales charts. Columbia’s Solange, currently #1 at iTunes, will provide a solid challenge. YMCMB/Republic’s Lord of Streaming Drake, meanwhile, could play the role of spoiler, as Views has not dipped below 50k SPS since release. Here are this week’s key debuts.

Bon Iver (Jagjaguwar) 54-58k SPS, 49-53k album
Solange (Columbia) 47-51k, 34-38k
Van Morrison (Caroline) 20-23k, 19-22k
Bob Weir (Legacy/Columbia) 18-21k, 17-20k
Banks (Harvest) 17-20k, 14-16k
John Prine (Oh Boy) 15-17k, 14-16k
Regina Spektor (Sire) 13-15k, 12-14k
Opeth (Nuclear Blast) 12-14k, 11-13k
Drive By Truckers (ATO) 11-13k, 10-12k

Though this most recent slate of releases doesn’t particularly underscore the point, Q4 has begun. Pass the vape and pour the scotch.
