NEW RELEASE: JUICE WINS THE RACE

Based on early reads, Grade A/Interscope's Juice WRLD is on track for a big #1 chart bow with his new, cinematically titled set, Death Race for Love. Here's what preliminary numbers indicate:

Juice WRLD (Grade A/Interscope) 140-165k total activity, 37-42k album

The hip-hop breakout's latest (his second full-length solo set) is yet another in a string of triumphs for IGA boss John Janick, EVP Joie Manda and team. Interscope's been on a roll with A Star Is Born and J. Cole, among others, and Billie Eilish is due to go supernova at the end of this month.

Stay tuned for forecasts on Maren Morris and other key new releases soon.

[Naos]

Yeah, that's an easy #1. Ugh. Hope to see Maren Morris in the Top 5 at least.

[cassiuscasanova]

Hey that’s nice for him lowkey

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Surprised about Juice Wrld's pure sales numbers since they are close to the SPS that Goodbye & Good Riddance had when it debuted.

Maren Morris (Columbia Nashville) 30-40k total, 15-20k album
New Kids on the Block, Hangin’ Tough: 30th Anniversary (Legacy) 15-20k, 14-19k

[Naos]

That is quite low for Morris. 'Hero' had 37,000 pure sales, and 45,000 units, and this is post "Craving You" and "The Middle", her two biggest hits so far.

[Enigma.]

I don't think The Middle had anything to do with her star power album-wise tbh. It was a pop song by an EDM producer and she just sang it.

If those feature hits couldn't even help her get a big song as lead artist, why would they help her album?

Pretty expected numbers for a sophomore release that failed to get a hit pre-release.

[jenglisbe]

Yeah, the main issue for Morris is "Girl" didn't really impact enough for the project.

*Debuts

In other news, prison softball teams just got some high-profile new talent.

[Mayman]

I'm predicting his projections will go ever higher. He just dropped a load of merch + album bundles. I may or may not have just bought a shirt with the album included from him

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^That explains Juice Wrld's album sales. I doubt he could get #1 in Top Album Sales without those merch bundles. I guess Astroworld paved the way for those.

CHART STORY: IT’S JUICE’S WRLD

Friday, March 15, 2019

Grade A/Interscope’s Juice WRLD just scored his first #1 album with Death Race for Love—the follow-up to his much-talked-about debut, Goodbye & Good Riddance. The sophomore set dominates the HITS Top 50 Chart with a whopping 164k, marking quite the rise since its predecessor, which opened with 24k last spring. In tandem with this fresh success, Goodbye enjoys a nice bump, moving #20-15.

The week’s next-biggest new release comes from Columbia Nashville’s Maren Morris, whose Girl bows with 45k to arrive at #4.

With the exception of Morris, Universal reigns over the Top 5 with Juice, Ariana Grande’s thank u, next (Republic), which pulled in another 73k at #2, Interscope’s Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper-led A Star Is Born soundtrack (#3, 48k) and Hollywood’s Queen-filled Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack (#5, 36k).

Unsurprisingly, UMG wins the marketshare race with 56%. WMG follows with 26% and SME is #3 with 17%, while the indies claim 1%. Streeting this week are projects by GroundUp’s Snarky Puppy and BMG’s Karen O & Danger Mouse. Coincidentally, Snarky Puppy is also HITS Senior Editor Simon Glickman’s pet name for President of His Desk Todd Hensley.

The next major release on deck will come from another Interscope act—the red-hot Billie Eilish. WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? (Darkroom) is due in two weeks, on 3/29. The breakout star’s premier full-length is poised to challenge Republic’s Grande for the biggest bow of the year so far. Stay tuned for more on that.

I agree, it's going to debut #1 on the Billboard 200 but I can't see it doing it the numbers Ari pulled or even close to that (but we'll see) there are more tracks that are supposed to be on the album. Have to wait for the Travis Scott or The Weeknd project to see those types of numbers again. A surprise Drake mixtape can't even do those numbers anymore, but we didn't really get a good example with the 10-year old So Far Gone project he dropped.

If Wasteland, Baby!'s drop from #1 holds true that would the largest one since So fell from #1 to #36 on the Bilboard 200 chart dated November 17, 2018.
