NEW RELEASE: SKINS IN THE GAME

With scant information available, etc., etc., based on early reads and so on and so forth, here's what we're thinking for Skins by the late XXXtentacion:

XXXtentacion (Bad Vibes Forever), 140-160k total activity, 30-50k album

Stay tuned for a great deal of additional information about this and other new releases.

[iHype.]

Honestly pretty underwhelming. He did 131k before death and is now projected to do as low as 140k post death.

His status and following seemed to skyrocket after his death.

[Enigma.]

The singles have come and gone post-Moonlight, zero staying power so that's pretty much expected.

They should leave him rest in peace.

The album is not very good and it's only 10 tracks with a 30 second intro and a 1 minute long interlude. 150k with 8 tracks is pretty good.

[Enigma.]

But is it good if the album's not good?

Good enough for his family🤷🏽‍♂️ More the album sales the more money they get.

Good point. You make more money when you're dead versus being alive.

[owenlovesmusic]

The numbers for X will go down. People are disliking the album and will therefore stream it less. Wouldn’t be surprised if he did below 130K.

*DEBUTS

[chartfreak]

Is John Mellencamp a debut?

[Naos]

I do hope Pentatonix get higher than that. With their album at #1 on iTunes, and two songs from that album on the iTunes Top 100, it should be higher. Very disappointing to not see Ice Cube in the Top 20.

I think so, yes.

[Enigma.]

Good increase for ASIB!

[#LisaRinna]

NOT Gaga matching the Joanne and possibly ARTPOP totals in a month time! Queen.

[Wave.]

Ariana holding!

XXXTentacion’s posthumously released third album, Skins (Bad Vibes Forever/EMPIRE), has bowed at #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart, moving more than 140k. At the same time, his ?—released this spring—rises #27-20, while breakout album 17 re-enters at #36.

The next highest-charting debut comes from Atlantic’s Gucci Mane, whose Evil Genius does nearly 50k—enough to land at #5. Meanwhile, new releases from Republic’s John Mellencamp (#10) and Big Machine/BMLG’s Brett Young (#15) cross the finish line with 40k and 33k, respectively.

Following the Grammy nominations announcement, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack (Interscope) returns to the Top 5 in a #8-4 jump; “Shallow” is up for Record and Song of the Year, Pop Duo/Group and Song Written for Visual Media. Drake’s Album of the Year contender, Scorpion (YMCMB/Republic), goes #12-8.

Grade A/Interscope stream king Juice WRLD also enjoys noteworthy growth, climbing #28-19 with Goodbye & Good Riddance. Six tracks from that album were on Spotify’s U.S. Top 200 at press time, with both “Lucid Dreams” and “Armed and Dangerous” in the Top 20.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 60%, WMG follows with 24% and SME is #3 with 16%.

Streeting this week are Republic’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse soundtrack and Columbia’s Springsteen on Broadway, along with sets by Riser House/Columbia Nashville’s Mitchell Tenpenny, Atlantic’s Kodak Black and RCA’s ZAYN.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

HITS predicts 19 albums sold over 10k which is pretty good for this year.

Scorpion's rise is probably due to all Year-end playlists on streaming services, not Grammys.

[pnobelysk]

Was pink on sale ? More tour dates added? She jumped pretty big this week
