NEW RELEASES:
A BRIGHT FUTURE (UPDATE)

Freebandz/Epic’s Future is a runaway lock for #1 on next week’s HITS Top 50 with I Never Liked You. His seventh consecutive solo chart-topper, the album is on track to open with as much as 200k its first week—which would make it the biggest debut of the year. First-day streams total more than 60m.

Vinyl for The Weeknd's Dawn FM (XO/Republic) will lift the album back into the Top 10, with a projected 45k-55k total activity for the week.

Future (Freebandz/Epic): 175-200k total activity; 4-6k albums
Miranda Lambert (Vanner/RCA Nashville): 33-37k
Rammstein (Vertigo/Virgin): 28-32k
