YOUR TOP 20: WHOSE WOODS THESE ARE (UPDATE)
Though we initially expected it to bow as high as 700k+ (probably because we forgot to plug in our abacus), Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods (RCA) now appears on track for a first-week total in the neighborhood of 275-290k total. Streaming accounts for less than 20% of that total. JT's Super Bowl halftime performance does not appear to have boosted the underperforming set. Stay tuned for updates.

*DEBUTS
In other post-Super Bowl news, we're crushed to learn that there won't be quiet-crunching "Lady Doritos" after all, as we were planning to serve them at our next meditation retreat.
