THIS WEEK'S CHART BATTLE, WITH STRONG PEPPERS

It looks like we’ll have another chart battle this week, as Warner Bros.’ Red Hot Chili Peppers attempt to dethrone Drake, who’s had an unprecedented seven-week run atop the HITS Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) chart. Both titles appear headed to the 110-115k SPS range. Here’s an updated look at this week’s new releases.

Red Hot Chili Peppers (Warner Bros.) 110-115k SPS, 100-105k albums
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 30-35k, 27-30k
YG (Def Jam) 35-40k, 24-27k
Jon Pardi (Capitol Nashville) 20-23k, 17-20k

In election news, Donald Trump has fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who will reportedly be replaced by a couple of interns from The Apprentice and a Ouija board.
