We can now project that Morgan Wallen’s Big Loud/Republic set Dangerous: The Double Album will join the 200m streams club. As of today, the first massive release of 2021 should finish the week with total activity in the 235-250k range, with two-thirds of that coming from 210-220m on-demand audio streams or 160-170k SEA.
Republic could have the Top 3 and half of the week’s Top 10 (including The Weeknd, who moves up to #7 at midweek). Other new entries include Jazmine Sullivan (RCA) and Barry Gibb (Capitol).
