NEW RELEASE: LIPA IN LINE FOR TOP DEBUT

Warner's Dua Lipa will have the top debut on this week's HITS Top 50 with her third album, Radical Optimism. We anticipate that Lipa's 11-track set will open in the range of 55-65k.

For reference, Lipa's Future Nostalgia opened with 66k. Total U.S. activity for Dua's sophomore LP is now at 4.3m.

Taylor Swift's THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Republic) will log a third consecutive week at #1.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're considering bourbon today in honor of the Kentucky Derby.
