NEW RELEASES:
TEXAS HEAT

With 100m+ U.S. first-day streams, Travis Scott’s UTOPIA (Cactus Jack/Epic) is tracking to a full week total of 350m streams or more. This puts its SEA total in the range of 245-275k.

We currently have no sales info for UTOPIA. Industry innuendo suggests Scott’s D2C orders have exceeded 200k, however. Can the album top his previous blockbuster, ASTROWORLD, which opened with 538k in 2018? Stay tuned for updates.

Post Malone’s fifth album, Austin (Mercury/Republic), is trending to a first week north of 100k.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got some BBQ stains to clean.
