Warner's Dua Lipa will have the top debut on this week's HITS Top 50 with her third album, Radical Optimism. We anticipate that Lipa's 11-track set will open in the range of 55-65k.
For reference, Lipa's Future Nostalgia opened with 66k. Total U.S. activity for Dua's sophomore LP is now at 4.3m.
Taylor Swift's THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Republic) will log a third consecutive week at #1.
Now, if you'll excuse us, we're considering bourbon today in honor of the Kentucky Derby.
