Closing in on a first-week total of 200k, Ariana Grande’s eternal sunshine (Republic) is poised to become her sixth #1 debut. The newly established Republic Corps could have as many as 10 of the week’s Top 20. Meanwhile, the single "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" currently sits at #1 on Spotify US and Global. Will sunshine’s D2C sales be enough to push Grande’s seventh album over the top?
Meanwhile, Judas Priest will score a Top 20 opening with Invincible Shield (Epic), which has us wishing we could still fit into these leather pants. We have no shot.
