Due to the unpredictability of late Christmas shopping — and ongoing issues projecting based on the new Friday release schedule — current expectations certainly come with a margin of error.
As things currently stand, however, Pusha T’s new “King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude” is expected to sell 38-43,000 copies during its first week of release.
The projection comes from Hits Daily Double and is based on its opening day sales performance.
“King Push” will likely be the week’s #3 new release. Chris Brown’s “Royalty” (~125-135,000) and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (~90-100,000) are tracking as the clear leaders among new entries.
Adele’s “25” will obviously be the week’s #1 overall album.
