NEW RELEASES: CHILIS SPICE THINGS UP

Drake may get a challenge this week from Red Hot Chili Peppers, as both are expected to land somewhere around 100k on our Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) chart.

Red Hot Chili Peppers (Warner Bros.) 100-105k SPS, 90-95k albums
YG (Def Jam) 37-42k, 27-30k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 28-32k, 25-28k
Jon Pardi (Capitol Nashville) 21-24k, 18-21k

Just to review: SPS (we don’t say consumption, as it reminds us of the demise of Emma Bovary) is compiled by adding album sales, TEA (1 unit per 10 tracks sold) and SEA (1 unit per 1,500 streams). You’re welcome.
