NEW RELEASES: DURK, CARTI SAVE XMAS
The top debuts on next week's HITS Top 50 belong to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day releases from Alamo/Geffen/Interscope's Lil Durk and AWGE/Interscope's Playboi Carti, respectively.
Carti's Whole Lotta Red seems likely for a #1 debut with activity in the 125-135k range.
Taylor Swift can never be counted out, however. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, she has up her sleeve for a potential third week on top with evermore (Republic).
Lil Durkโs The Voice, released on Thursday, will see its first full week come in around 50-55k after debuting with a one-day total of around 25k in the week that just ended.

Good numbers for Carti, but I can't help but think it could've been closer to 200k if the reception wasn't so bad.

Lol. Funny how the world works, after all that back and forth 6ix9ine and Lil Durk had earlier on in the year with 'Nicki gave you that hit record!!!! Drake got you that hit record!!!!!' on paper, (yes I know Durk only had 1 day of sales), on paper he's debuting with the same numbers (reminder again that it's on paper) as 6ix9ine did (he sold 53k) first week.
Can't guess / don't know what the strategy was to release one day earlier before tracking week. Didn't want to compete with Playboi Carti? Idk. But it's called new music Friday for a reason (thanks Beyoncรฉ) so I guess his next release will have a better strategy to it.

No shocker that RYM is sucking this album off 3.15? sucking off? anyway this album is fucking brilliant, good numbers for him looks like a potential deluxe with popular leaks (similar to eternal atake's deluxe), that one would be received much better by the gp i imagine |

a medicore/bad album getting a 3.15 is defiantly sucking off (just because rodeo pfps on twitter thinks its bad doesn't mean everyone else does) Wouldn't of got anywhere close to the same score of it was by a different artist, it's just a known fact that some artists on rateyourmusic can make the most wack stuff and get away with it cause the site likes them |

Another album with so underwhelming debut that it must have a deluxe out in 3 days. Shawn Mendes teas  |

Considering Durk is ahead of Carti on AM and Carti has only 4 songs on Spotify top 40, I'm pretty sure he doesn't sell 125k (without a deluxe coming midweek, that is)

Maybe the residual Xmas plays affected them? But the streams for both releases have been so-so up to this point, so yeah probably some downward revisions coming.

Taylor will probably pull through with the shipping of those physicals.

Taylor will probably pull through with the shipping of those physicals. Yes what she has โup her sleeveโ are strong streaming numbers and people whoโve already ordered the album waiting for their shipment. She will also probably release deluxe tracks to streaming platforms as soon as she sees a close battle like she did with folklore. |

On 8th Jan, Morgan is dropping a 30 songs mammoth double album and a small indie artist called Aurbey graham is dropping later that month. I think, this 2 weeks is all she got. |

Is it confirmed that Drake will release in January? Well he dropped a teaser. And hasn't publicly delayed it, so no reason to belive it is not dropping next month.

Taylor Foklore's signed deluxe album sale is finally over. (for now) Iโm so curious to know how much she hand-signed. It felt like 100k at one point because they kept popping up. But how long would it even take to sign 10k? I always remember back to a TryGuys video where they took forever to sign just 2k and they made it seem so demanding (maybe it was them hamming it up for the video though) youtu.be/5krBzh1hJWgAnyways, hope her hand has recovered because I would like my evermore signed album now. |

Like less than one hundred probably lmao. These artists -- especially an A-list like Taylor Swift, do not have time to sit around for hours and hours just signing thousands of copies. All of them who sell quantities of 'signed' albums in the thousands used replicated signatures. Some like Taylor are smart and will sign at least a few dozen and have them each replicated so fans will see so many different type of signatures they won't think they're fake/copied. Some other artists are lazier and will sign like 1-10 different copies, then just have those replicated. So it becomes very obvious they are replicated, especially when one fan has bought multiple signed copies. |

Yeah, they will never admit to it but unless you actually meet Taylor and ask for an autograph on your album, your signed copy's likely just a well done replica.
Lady Gaga recently got some crap on Twitter because of how lazy some of the signatures were on the Chromatica signed editions. Literally just scribbles. But Taylor's brand is built on her fandom being a "close" participant on her creative process and career, so she would never go for a cheap, lazy replica.

She needs to sell the evermore vinyls again. They've been unavailable for weeks.
