LUKE VS. DRE:
WEEK TWO

Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) will repeat at #1 for the current sales week with 75k or more.

Dr. Dre’s Compton, A Soundtrack (Aftermath/Interscope) decreased on Saturday and Sunday after a modest increase on Friday, the day the film opened. Our projection for week two is 45-50k which doesn't appear to be enough to secure the #2 slot.

N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton (all versions combined) sold 12,912, an increase of close to 500% over the same period last week. Combined sales on all N.W.A albums totaled 16,837, up nearly 400%

Over the weekend, sales on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, which is now distributed through eOne, were 1,100-1,200 per day.
