NEW RELEASES: KACEY, KEEM CRUSH IT

Kacey Musgraves’ star-crossed (Interscope/MCA Nashville) is headed for the week’s biggest debut—the album broke the record for single-day streams for a female country artist at Spotify. star-crossed is on pace for a Top 3 bow, as blockbusters from Drake and Kanye West hold court at the front of the chart.

Musgraves’ start could be as much as 40% greater than her previous album, the Grammy-winning Golden Hour which opened with 49k in 2018. pgLang/Columbia’s Baby Keem is aiming for a Top 5 debut at around 55k.

Kacey Musgraves (Interscope/MCA Nashville) 60-70k total activity, 35-40k albums
Baby Keem (pgLang/Columbia) 50-55k, 2-4k


Looking at our fantasy football team, we gotta ask: Anybody wanna trade for Aaron Rodgers?
