YOUR TOP 20: TRAVIS, NICKI BATTLE FOR #1

With fresh D2C offers appearing today on his web site, we’re giving Travis Scott the edge in a tight race with Nicki Minaj for #1. After debuting last week with a total over 500k, Scott is looking for a repeat. Minaj will also benefit from some D2C and a ticket bundle. The bundle is from her co-headlining tour with Future. Of note is the offer with a ticket includes not only Minaj’s Queen but also an “upcoming” Future release which is, apparently, not Beastmode 2.
