9/18 projections

SEPTEMBER SONGS, 9/18: We’ve been focusing on next month’s double-dip Super Tuesday in this space, and we’re not about to stop now—not with the promise of an escape from the seemingly endless summer doldrums.

And if some of these numbers strike you as optimistic, bear in mind that this is an inexact science.

Carly Rae Jepsen (Schoolboy/Interscope) 100k
