NEW RELEASES: GOMEZ GOES FOR #1

Interscope has both of the top new releases this week: Selena Gomez is tracking to a #1 debut on this week’s HITS Top 50 followed by Moneybagg Yo. A small D2C and signed CDs at indie retail has propelled her projection to six figures. Revival, her previous release, opened with 117k in 2015.

Moneybagg Yo’s Time Served is on target for his best week yet. Moneybagg’s last album, 43va Heartless, debuted with 40k in May. Neither release has a concert ticket bundle.

Selena Gomez (Interscope) 105-120k total activity, 50-55k albums
Moneybagg Yo (Interscope) 50-55k, 1-2k
