WE HAVE A WINNER
After a dramatic battle, We The Best/Epic's DJ Khaled has edged out KIDinaKORNER/Interscope's Imagine Dragons to take #1 on our overtime chart. The final count in this squeaker: over 150k for Khaled and 148k+ for the Dragons. Check out the final chart here.
In case you missed them in the midst of your holiday-weekend revels, let's take a look at early reads on two brand new releases.
Calvin Harris (Columbia) 55-65k SPS, 19-24k album
Superfruit (RCA) 13-18k, 11-15k
DJ/producer Harris' full-length features such guests as Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Future, Ariana Grande, Khalid, Travis Scott and Big Sean. Superfruit's new EP (with a sequel slated to follow) showcases the playful pop of Penatonix harmonizers Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi.
