NEW RELEASES:
CHANGES UNDERWAY

Justin Bieber's Changes is en route to a big #1 bow—likely to be the biggest of 2020 to date—while rapper A Boogie With a Hoodie also debuts with six figures. For a rock album, Tame Impala's buzzing new set is punching above its weight in the streaming world.

Justin Bieber (RBMG/Def Jam) 270-320k total activity, 185-210k albums
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (Atlantic) 110-130k, 1-3k
Tame Impala (Interscope) 80-90k, 50-60k
MONSTA X (Epic) 38-47k, 35-43k
$uicideBoy$ (G59) 17-21k, 1-2k

In political news, Mike Bloomberg is apparently paying influencers to talk him up on the socials, which we honestly never picked as a sign of the apocalypse.
