NEW RELEASES: NOW EVEN LOUDER (UPDATE)

Metallica will debut at #1 on both our SPS and Album Sales charts with the year’s third best-selling debut. Bruno Mars’ projection, meanwhile, increases considerably from our one-day estimates, with further growth possible following his fiery performance at this weekend’s American Music Awards.

Metallica (Blackened) 305-315k SPS, 295-305k album
Bruno Mars (WMG) 200-210k, 175-185k
Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 140-150k, 130-140k
DNCE (Republic) 24-26k, 18-20k
Sixx A.M. (Eleven Seven) 16-18k, 15-17k
