NEW RELEASES: WEEZY KICKS OFF

Funeral, Lil Wayne’s first non-Carter album in more than five years, is on track for a first week of 110-125k, which should secure him a #1 debut. The set features such guests as Big Sean, Lil Baby, Adam Levine, 2 Chainz, The-Dream, Takeoff and the late XXXtentacion. Track #8, “Bling James” f/Jay Rock, ends with 24 seconds of silence as a tribute to Kobe Bryant. Here’s what we know after one day; all four titles have D2C and/or ticket bundles.

Lil Wayne (Young Money/Republic) 110-125k total activity, 10-15k albums
Russ (Columbia) 60-75k, 38-42k
Kesha (Kemosabe/RCA) 40-50k, 30-35k
Louis Tomlinson (SYCO/Arista) 35-45k, 30-35k

We ate so much guac during the Super Bowl that we spent the night dreaming in green.
