Frank Ocean is set to fly straight to #1 on the Billboard 200 with sophomore album ‘Blonde.’
Unleashed as a surprise on Apple Music on Saturday, the LP followed pre-cursor project ‘Endless,’ which arrived 48 hours earlier.
Armed with the hype and the critical praise heaped on the project, what are its first week numbers looking like?
Wonder no more because the first forecast is out!

Rihanna has been heating up many a stage across the globe this summer.
Fresh from wrapping the European leg of her ‘ANTI World Tour,’ the 28-year-old returned to the UK over the weekend to perform at the 21st V Festival.
Tapped as Sunday night’s headliner, the ‘Love On The Brain’ belter tried her best with hits such as ‘Diamonds,’ ‘Work,’ and ‘Rude Boy.’
Sponsored by Virgin Media, the two-day extravaganza (which took place across two sites in Chelmsford and Staffordshire) also brought with it performances from major names such as Justin Bieber and Sia.

As big hits go, few could match the size or impact of 2014’s ‘Bang Bang.’
Headlined by Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande, the collaboration scorched charts across the globe and dominated way beyond its summer release.
Interestingly, details surrounding the track’s creation has come to light and reveals that Grande initially “hated” the song.

A spanner may have been thrown in Frank Ocean‘s creative works.

Before Adele, Coldplay and Amy Winehouse, a young name from Southhampton was the one waving the British flag on a worldwide scale. His name’s Craig David and today we salute him on From The Vault.
This week’s pick is ‘Seven Days.’
Serviced as the second single from the singer’s debut ‘Born To Do It’, ‘Days’ was written and composed by Mark Hill alongside the David – like the large majority of the LP.
Thematically, the song retraced the week-long romancing of a newfound love interest. To this day, it’s Craig’s biggest hit and is considered his signature song.
Wildly successful on home soil, where it debuted at #1 with sales of 100,000 units, but was also a worldwide smash peaking at #10 in the US, #4 in Australia and #9 in Canada. Not bad at all for a R&B newbie in a Britney and N’Sync dominated landscape.
The music video, directed by Max and Dania, had a ‘Groundhog Day’ theme with Craig reliving the same day over and over until he finally gets with “the” girl he met on the street.
Popular the world over, the clip was nominated for Best Video at the 2001 BRIT Awards, but lost to Robbie Williams‘ ‘Rock DJ.’
Thereafter, David’s success was heavily concentrated in the UK — despite a marked effort to further break into the American market with his sophomore album.
Now, after a hiatus of sorts (which ironically saw him relocate to Miami), the gifted star is back. With new album ‘Following My Intuition’ due in stores on September 30th, the moral of the story is to never count out authentic talent.
An error made by a Mexican retailer has seen Britney Spears’ new album ‘Glory‘ surface online.

Frank Ocean is full of surprises and moments ago he let loose the latest.
After much ado, the reclusive singer-songwriter released his official sophomore album ‘Blond’ on iTunes.
The premiere of the project takes place less than 48-hours after the crooner unwrapped a visual pre-cursor offering called ‘Endless.’
And while many scratched their heads at time, there is no confusion anymore. Because ‘Blond’ is here – to both buy and stream.
Joining Ocean on his new effort are the likes of Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West.

Proving she can hang with the most renown of models, Super Ci strike many a potent pose.
