NEW RELEASES:

NF (NF Real/Caroline) 85-95k, 50-55k
Of Monsters and Men (Republic) 30-35k, 27-30k
Justin Moore (Valory/BMLG) 21-24k, 17-20k

Chance's "Hot Shower" is leading on the streaming platforms, sitting Top 5 at Apple Music and holding the #8 spot at Spotify; "All Day Long" is Top 10 at Apple. NF and Chance have the top two albums at iTunes, respectively, and are at #2 and #3 at Amazon.
