Well I found why Interscope wanted to avoid the 28th.

Last studio album (2017): 274,000 #1

Last mixtape (2018): 119,000 #1

We wouldnt beat him week 1.

he drops albums like farts and they're not even good

[Arturo 40,746]

Yeah his studio album last year did -96% in sales and -86% in SPS. He’s very frontloaded

His mixtape which did 119k only slipped to #4 in the 2nd week but it was a very non competitive week. #2 was selling like 60k at the time (Black Panther)

 

Logic’s 2nd weeks:

Everybody: #9 35k

BTII: #4 47k 

non factor hihi

I'm so nervous for ASIB

I want it to be iconic

[Stef 61,598]

I'd rather this album debut at like #2 and stay stable or hit #1 in a following week as opposed to debut #1 and freefall

"I Like It" by Cardi B spends its 16th week in the Top 10 this week on the Billboard Hot 100. 

13 of those weeks have been in the Top 3, which ties "Bodak Yellow" for weeks in the Top 3 (Bodak Yellow spent 20 weeks in the Top 10, so "I Like It" looks like it will spend longer in the Top 10)

1st Week: #8
2nd Week: #9
3rd Week: #16

Cardi B should be out of the Top 10 for the first time it seems.

Kristopher Tapley's article for Variety:

"That you can get two paragraphs into spelling out the virtues of this film before even mentioning Lady Gaga is a testament to its density. She is, of course, sensational in her first starring role — an absolute natural. And when her version of the discovered talent, here called Ally, first steps onto a stage early in the film to perform one of her own songs for the first time — already a highlight from its positioning in the trailer alone — I’ve rarely seen so arresting a moment in cinema."
