NEW RELEASES:
ONWARD INTO THE
CHRISTMAS-VERSE (UPDATE)

Santa's sleigh is barreling in our direction, carols are blasting out of every retail space and industry folk are daydreaming of sugarplums during their year-end meetings. If you can scrounge up a few more drops of giving-a-crap before your seasonal gorging on eggnog and elf porn, here's what we're envisioning for the week's new releases.

Kodak Black (Atlantic) 70-80k total activity, 4-5k album
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Republic) 40-50k, 14-17k
Bruce Springsteen (Columbia) 32-37k, 31-35k
Mitchell Tenpenny (Riser House/Columbia Nashville) 18-21k, 12-14k
ZAYN (RCA) 17-20k, 3-5k

Spider-Man is enjoying strong reviews, as is the Springsteen special, which bowed on Netflix on 12/16. And if you prefer things that aren't beloved by critics, there's always this.
