Weekly Register: Country Vs. Compton Race to the Top

August 10, 2015/0 Comments/in Featured, Sales/Marketing /by Sarah Skates

duo-slider-weekly-registerIt’s country versus Compton on the music sales charts, as the latest albums from Luke Bryan and Dr. Dre vie for the top overall spot. Final numbers won’t be in until next Monday, Aug. 17, but early estimates predict Bryan will sell about 340-355K (total consumption). His previous project debuted with 528K (albums only).

Meanwhile, Dre’s Straight Outta Compton soundtrack is predicted to sell about 290-305K, but that number could rise due to the film’s release this week.

On this week’s chart, Bryan has the top country track debut with “Huntin,’ Fishin,’ and Lovin’ Every Day” selling 10K to reel in the No. 27 country spot.
