TOP 20: A TIGHT BATTLE

There’s a battle brewing for #1 on Friday’s HITS Top 50. Morgan Wallen has held the top spot for eight consecutive weeks, but his One Thing at a Time (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) is now in a dead heat with Pledis/Geffen’s SEVENTEEN. Both entries are projecting just under 140k. Watch this space for further developments.

Three other new releases also appear poised to debut in the Top 10: Jack Harlow's Jackman. (Generation Now/Atlantic), Eslabon Armado’s DESVELADO (DEL) and The National’s First Two Pages of Frankenstein (4AD).

Look for things to move around ahead of the final chart. HITS staffers are likely to move around as well, even though they're napping.
