NEW RELEASES: LET'S LUKE AT THE NUMBERS

Capitol Nashville's Luke Bryan will have the top debut on this week's chart with What Makes You Country. The tandem effort from Big Sean & Metro Boomin and an anthology set from Quality Control, meanwhile, look to be potent streaming titles. Here's what we're seeing based on early reads.

Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 95-105k SPS, 85-95k album
Big Sean & Metro Boomin (G.O.O.D./Def Jam/Boominati/Republic) 60-65k, 10-13k
Quality Control: Control The Streets, Vol. 1 (Quality Control/Motown/Capitol) 55-60k, 5-7k
Walker Hayes (Monument/Arista Nashville) 14-19k, 10-15k
Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 11-15k

In holiday news, please don't smoke the holly boughs.
