Billboard Update: Chart Date 05/20/17

At long last, the Billboard Update.

Billboard is reporting that Harry Styles, from X-Factor UK, will have the top selling and combined album of the week. The pundits are predicting that “Harry Styles” will move about 250K in equivalent album units with 200-210K being traditional albums. He may set the record for the biggest debut of a UK male (previously held by Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour” which sold 160K). The only other UK male to debut at the top of the BB200 was his former bandmate Zayn.

Jackie Evancho continues to the top of the Classical Cross-Over Albums chart for a fifth week.
