TOP 20: CARTER COUNTRY & SUMMER HEAT (UPDATE)

With one day of sales and streams info for The Carters it should be a close race for #1 against 5 Seconds of Summer. The wild card in that contest is what Tidal will report. Meanwhile, how much more momentum will the late XXXtentacion gain in the wake of his death, as fans flock to streaming and retail for his work?

**Because of the uncertainty surrounding so many of the numbers connected to this title, we're going to wait until tomorrow to update our total.

You'll note that four of the Top 5, eight of the Top 10 and 16 of the Top 20 here are under the UMG banner (though The Carters are a marriage of two major groups).

Oh, and Happy Martini Day. We've been celebrating this occasion all month.
