IT'S A TOSS-UP FOR #1

We're moving our projection for #1 to "too close to call." Pop Smoke still gets the edge, but 21 Savage & Metro Boomin have moved within striking distance. How will it play out? We'll let you know on Friday.

Pop Smoke (Victor Victor/Republic) 63-67k
21 Savage & Metro Boomin (Boominati/Republic/Slaughter Gang/Epic) 59-63k

Also too close to call: which is more unkempt, our hair or our "desk."
