NEW RELEASES: WHITE SHOULD REACH #1
Third Man/Columbia’s Jack White is due to take the #1 spot on our next Top 50 chart, barring—as we are now perpetually obliged to note—any big surprise drops. White’s highly experimental Boarding House Reach will make most of its total from a ticket bundle and D2C sales. Here’s what we know based on early reads.
Jack White (Third Man/Columbia) 115-125k total activity, 110-120k album
Toni Braxton (Def Jam) 13-18k, 9-13k
Jordan Davis (MCA Nashville) 10-15k, 7-11k
George Ezra (Columbia) 7-11k, 5-8k
