Whenever Drake delivers a new project, it's pretty much guaranteed it'll secure him another No. 1 debut. But this time around, the rapper has some serious competition.

According to first-week projections reported by Hits Daily Double, Drake's Dark Lane Demo Tapes is on track to secure the top spot next week with an estimated 230,000 to 255,000 earned units—18,000 to 23,000 of which will come from pure sales. However, country star Kenny Chesney is closely trailing Drake in early projections, as his Here and Now album is expected to garner 220,000 to 235,000 units, with 210,000 to 220,000 in traditional sales. HDD also points out ticket bundling is likely a big factor in Chesney's strong showing.
