YG/Interscope’s BLACKPINK is tracking to be the biggest debut of the week, at 80-85k in total activity. This puts the K-pop quartet about 10k behind Rimas’ Bad Bunny, who is expected to get another week at #1, in the 90-95k range. Can BLACKPINK close the gap before Thursday night when the chart week ends?
Other new releases this week include NCT 127’s 2 Baddies–The 4th Album (SM/Virgin) at 60-65k and CMG/Warlike/Interscope’s EST Gee at 21-25k with I Never Felt Nun. Columbia’s Koe Wetzel and Capitol’s Fletcher are both headed for a first week of 18-21k.
