NEW RELEASES: PURCHASES OF PROOF (UPDATE)

K-pop superstars BTS will easily claim #1 on this week’s HITS Top 50. After one day of sales and streams, the 35-track anthology album Proof (Big Hit/Geffen) is now projected to open in the vicinity of 300k in total activity to become the second-biggest debut of the year. Pure sales will make up almost 90% of the total. Here's what we're looking at for the week.

BTS (Big Hit/Geffen): 290-310k
Carrie Underwood (Capitol Nashville): 28-33k
Motionless in White (Roadrunner): 20-25k
XXXTENTACION (Bad Vibes Forever/Columbia): 20-25k

Now, if you'll excuse us, we need to work on our Zoe Lofgren Pinterest.
