Columbia's Hozier will have the week's biggest debut with sophomore album Wasteland, Baby!, while Republic juggernaut Ariana Grande is expected to return to #1 this Friday with a total just under six digits.

Hozier (Columbia) 75-80k total activity, 70-75k album
2 Chainz (Def Jam) 65-70k, 9-11k
Lil Skies (Atlantic) 45-50k, 2-4k
Solange (Columbia) 40-45k, 10-12k
Weezer (Crush/Atlantic) 24-27k, 20-23k
Tom Petty (Geffen) 24-27k, 15-18k

In other news, only 81 people connected to the Trump administration are being hit with doc requests by the House, so that's gotta be a relief for GOP officials who were expecting triple digits.
