Since our initial projection Saturday, Stray Kids’ ODDINARY (JYP/Imperial/Republic) has gained velocity, with updates now suggesting a debut north of 100k. The K-pop newcomers have a wide-open path to #1 on Friday’s HITS Top 50.
Album sales are on track to be more than 90% of the total, enough to unseat last week’s leader, Lil Durk, whose 7220 (Alamo/SME) is currently projecting 60-65k in its second week. Grade A/Interscope’s Juice WRLD releases the deluxe digital edition of Fighting Demons, with the physical CD and LP of the standard version also in stores now.
Stray Kids (JYP/Imperial/Republic): 100k+ total activity
Juice WRLD, Fighting Demons Deluxe (Grade A/Interscope): 30-40k
Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go watch a bunch of senators explain a SCOTUS candidate's biography to her.
