TOP 15 WITH THE GOOD HAIR
Beyonc? looks to do 475k-525k in album sales for her new Lemonade set (Columbia), and a whopping 575k-640k SPS. Track sales fuel a TEA contribution to the latter total of 80k-90k, while exclusive Tidal streaming adds 20k-30k SEA (and holds freemium at bay). Her 2013 self-titled "sneak attack" set, you'll recall, bowed with 618k, so Lemonade appears on track to match for a comparable debut. Even Becky With the Good Hair has to bow down.
Meanwhile, Prince will have another blockbuster week with multiple titles; colossal track sales largely accrue to The Very Best of compilation, which looks set to notch a quarter-mil in album sales and close to 400k SPS. Prince, too, is streaming exclusively on Tidal.
