NEW RELEASES: WONDERFUL NEWS

Barring a big surprise drop, Island's The Killers look set to debut at #1 on our next SPS chart with Wonderful Wonderful. Here's how things look for the week's key debuts, according to early reads:

The Killers (Island) 113-118k SPS, 105-110k album
Lecrae (Reach) 28-32k, 20-23k
Jhené Aiko (Def Jam) 28-32k, 8-10k
Midland (Big Machine/BMLG) 17-19k, 15-17k

Def Jam's Aiko, it should be pointed out, is supplementing her highly personal new release with a film and a book of poetry, about which we'll have more very soon.
