NEW RELEASES: JUSTIN, LANA, MADNESS
Justin Bieber's Justice is set to end Morgan Wallen's historic run at #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart, becoming Bieber's eighth album to debut on top. Lana Del Rey could tussle with Wallen for the week's runner-up spot. Her Chemtrails Over the Country Club gets the edge today, however, thanks to what's expected to be a strong showing at the indies.
Justin Bieber (RBMG/Def Jam) 130-140k total activity, 25-30k albums
Lana Del Rey (Interscope) 65-75k, 45-55k
It's a relief that March Madness is back this year; we almost forgot the feeling of having our brackets busted on day one. Time to get back to our day-drinking—er, "weekend errands."
