How The Weeknd's Melancholy will cheer up the chart in its first week...

Herbs have been dipped in salt water, and brightly colored eggs have been unearthed. Our holiday work now complete, we offer you, based  on early reads, some projections for the week's new releases.

The Weeknd (XO/Republic) 150-175k total, 55-65k album
Rich The Kid (Rich Forever/Interscope) 50-60k, 8-10k
Kacey Musgraves (MCA Nashville) 32-37k, 28-32k

Now if you'll excuse us, we have to schlep across the desert.
