HITS 3/25: Gwen Stefani #1 80-85k SPS

[Adam (UTR)]

NEW RELEASES: GWEN FOR THE WIN?

At the moment, Gwen Stefani looks set to take the #1 spot on the HITS sales and SPS charts next week—and thus give Interscope its third #1 in four weeks, following The 1975 and Kendrick Lamar.

Gwen Stefani (Interscope) 68-73k album, 73-78k SPS
Jordan Smith (Republic) 33-38k, 37-42k
Kane Brown (RCA/Zone 4) 21-24k, 24-27k
Jaheim (BMG Rights Management) 12-14k, 13-15k
Niykee Heaton (Capitol) 6-8k, 7-9k

Expect projections for more new releases, including Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots and Iggy Pop, on Monday.

Will be Gwen's first solo #1...

Interesting to see Hits hyping Interscope in an article about albums, given that they pretend Interscope doesn't exist when covering pop radio.

[Caviar]

Respectable numbers from Jaheim.

[#LisaRinna]

Cute for Gwen.

[DJ General]

Pretty solid for Gwen. Was hoping on the off chance she could maybe hit 100,000 but for some reason she decided to do no promo this week. No late night shows, no day talk shows, nothing. No Fallon? Ellen? Too bad her SNL slot wasn't this week. Instead it's in a month lol

[Envoirment]

Good opening for Gwen! Will become her first solo #1 album and it's been over 20 years since she got to #1 with No Doubt on the albums chart.

[Wavey✨️]

That's awesome for Gwen. Would've been 100k more with promo.

[areyoureadytojump]

I was thinking 140k. Whoops.

170k with promo? No way

Unless you meant 100k or more or sth

I meant 100k.

[HEADOFTHEPACK]

Good for Gwen. Solid enough album, just a shame she's struggling to get a hit single.

Funny that they kept her album off Spotify and this is all she could sell? Yeah, that worked out well.

[DJ General]

Why did she not do any promo?

[anafan]

Good for her.

[pnobelysk]

Jordan smith, the voice winner, his projections have been increased to 50k. That's really strong for the voice contestants and more than the total sales from the last few seasons from everyone from idol

She's done Fallon, Kimmel and Corden in recent months. Corden most recently.

She's also been on The Voice as a mentor over the past two weeks.

[HolidayGuy]

HEADOFTHEPACK- it is a shame, but hardly surprising, given how the U.S. musical climate. Nonetheless, good to see her and her first solo No. 1-selling album.

Okay recent months is not promo lol and either is a quick 5 min appearance spread over two weeks on the voice. You know what I'm talking about.

[#LisaRinna]

So Gwen's prediction went up, good for her!

[forg]

While no traditional promo, Gwen has been a staple of entertainment sites and shows, well mainly because of the romance with Blake, but still she is present in the pop culture landscape right now

That Jordan Smith figures are quite good, he really had strong performance on itunes during the competition and with The Voice 10 entering live shows pretty soon I'm sure he will perform and that could potentially boost sales
