Based on early reads we're looking at another battle for #1 on our next SPS chart, as We The Best/Epic's DJ Khaled takes on KidinaKorner/Interscope's Imagine Dragons. It could be close, depending on the pushes from the acts' respective labels.
Given Khaled's guest list of hip-hop and R&B luminaries, expect streaming to be a major factor in his total. Indeed, a gander at the top songs on Apple Music shows three Grateful songs in the Top 10. At iTunes, the Dragons have the #1 album and #2 single ("Believer"), with another track, "Thunder," gaining ground; Khaled has the #2 album and #3 and #4 singles in the download emporium. Khaled's "I'm the One" and "Wild Thoughts" are #2 and #3 at Spotify.
Here's how it's looking right now:
DJ Khaled (We The Best/Epic) 140-155k SPS, 40-50k album
Imagine Dragons (KidinaKorner/Interscope) 130-140k, 80-90k
