FUTURE'S #1 SEQUEL (UPDATE)

Back-to-back #1 debuts don’t come along often, but Future is poised to take his second album in two weeks, HNDRXX, to the top of our charts, following a #1 bow for the eponymous set he dropped last week. Little Big Town, powered by a ticket bundle, will have the week’s biggest country debut, while John Mayer rolls out his second Wave EP.

Future (A1/Freebandz/Epic) 110-125k SPS; 40-45k album
Little Big Town (Capitol Nashville) 45-50k, 40-45k
Aaron Watson (Big Label) 35-40k, 33-38k
John Mayer (Columbia) 30-35k, 25-28k

We're pretty sure these numbers are right but Warren Beatty's going to look in the envelope one more time.
