UPDATE: THIS TOP 20 IS WIDELY RED

Ron Perry’s Columbia scores the top two titles this week as Tyler, the Creator and Halsey debut at #1 and #2, respectively. Halsey’s The Great Impersonator is her first for the label.

Tyler’s CHROMAKOPIA, which dropped on Monday, is now on track to finish with a first week of 285k, with that split almost evenly divided between pure sales and SEA. U.S. streams are currently projected in the 185-190m range. If the album's performance today and/or tomorrow beats our estimates, 200m could be in the picture. After only two days, CHROMAKOPIA streams are already over 150m globally at Spotify alone.
