NEW RELEASES: SMOKERS' LOUNGE

The Chainsmokers should easily land on top of our SPS and album charts on Friday. If the projection holds, this will be the year’s fourth-biggest debut thus far. Will the duo's performance on SNL goose their total? We shall see.

Pentatonix follow up their million-selling A Pentatonix Christmas with PTX, Vol. IV – Classics. The video for “Bohemian Rhapsody” dropped on Friday along with the EP and has already been viewed nearly 3 million times. Here’s what we know.

The Chainsmokers (Disruptor/Columbia) 185-195k SPS, 155-165k album
Pentatonix (RCA) 45-50k, 40-45k

Stay tuned for early numbers on Harry Styles’ new single.
