Here's how "TESTING" and "DAYTONA" are expected to perform

 At long last, we finally received two of the year’s most anticipated projects and on the same day no less. Its safe to say that the landing of Pusha T’s DAYTONA and A$AP Rocky’s TESTING albums were nothing short of headline-making arrivals with Push’s ongoing feud with Drake, that scorching “Infrared” track, a response from Drake with “Duppy Freestyle,” and an attached invoice taking up most of the conversation.

The projections for both efforts are here, and according to Hits Daily Double, the drama may not be enough for DAYTONA to top the debut of TESTING. While the former is expected to push out somewhere between 65,000 to 75,000 units in its opening week with 18,000-23,000 accounting for pure album sales, the latter is predicted to move between 80,000 to 100,000 in its bow with 15,000-18,000 album sales.

While DAYTONA has been on most people’s minds, it all comes down to basic numbers. In an age where lengthy track lists, double and even triple albums are dominating in an effort to capitalize off the loopholes presented in on-demand streaming, King Push kept his project down to a mere seven tracks while Rocky’s outing comes out with 15 songs. All it means is that Rocky is bound to get more streams because there’s just more to listen to.

Nonetheless, Push is pretty committed to brief track lists as indicated in his most recent talk with Entertainment Weekly. “Seven songs is the easiest thing,” he told the publication. “I may never make another album over seven songs again in my life.”

Unfortunately for hip-hop fans, neither album is expected to debut at No. 1 as Shawn Mendes also dropped his self-titled album on Friday (May 25) and is expected to move 135,000 to 155,000 units with 95,000-115,000 accounting for pure album sales.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
