Quantcast
Stapleton scores, while Kanye and Lukas make history, of sorts.

YOUR TOP 15:
TRAVELLER 'S CHECKS

Starting this week, we’ll be separating our midweek projections into two lists, one for sales and the other for the SPS chart.

While Chris Stapleton's surge assures him a #1 spot on both the HITS Album Sales chart this week, we note that Kanye West is a now a serious contender for the top of the SPS chart depending on how many download sales are reported, while Lukas Graham will score nearly half their SPS number from single sales. It's a new era indeed.
