Billie Eilish will debut at #1 with her sophomore release, Happier Than Ever (Darkroom/Interscope). The album is on track to do more than 100m streams its first week. Album sales, currently projected at 140k, will include a healthy vinyl component.
Legacy's Prince, TDE/Warner's Isaiah Rashad, Def Jam's Logic and The Grateful Dead, meanwhile, are all Top 20-bound.
