1st Week Sales: Kevin Gates: 75-80k (80-85k w/ streams) Rihanna: 95-105k (120-130k w/ Streams)

[JordanWearinThe45]

Rihanna’s ANTI may already have been certified platinum, but the million copies given away to fans (paid for by Samsung) will not factor into her first-week total, which is based only on consumer purchases. 16k of her SPS total (streams and single sales) won't count for this week, as they happened on Thursday. But that won't necessarily prevent her from being #1 on our next Album and SPS charts. Here’s how the week’s new releases are shaping up.

Rihanna (Westbury Road/Roc Nation) 95-105k album, 120-130k SPS

Kevin Gates (Bread Winner's Association) 75-80k, 80-85k
