One-Days

YOUR NEW RELEASES:The Civil Wars appear to be headed for a #1 debut. Nipping at their heels, however, could be Now 47; these compilations can often trend better than the initial sales suggest. It's not a lock yet, but for now the odds are in TCW's favor (and hey, a tweet from Adele urging everyone to buy their album can't hurt). Here are this week's key debuts:

The Civil Wars (sensibility/Columbia) 100-110k
Now 47 (UMe) 85-90k
Asking Alexandria (Sumerian) 25-30k
Ty Tribbett (Motown Gospel) 20-25k

Incidentally, UMPG has unveiled Now That's What I Call Marijuana, a sampler pack of 27 top-selling strains guaranteed to keep your brain in heavy rotation. (8/7p)
