TOP 50: WALLEN'S 10th ONE, SHEERAN'S BOW AND MORE TAY

Big Loud/Mercury/Republic's Morgan Wallen secures his 10th consecutive week at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with One Thing at a Time, which posts 141k. Its #1 streak ties the remarkable 2021 run of its predecessor, Dangerous: The Double Album, currently at #5.

WMG's Ed Sheeran leads the debuts with his sixth studio album, - (Subtract). The set opens at #2 with 111k, followed by Taylor Swift's Midnights (Republic) at #3 and SZA's SOS (TDE/RCA) at #5.

K-pop newcomer LE SSERAFIM opens at #6 with its debut full-length, Unforgiven (Source Music/Geffen), which earns 44k. Opium/Interscope's Destroy Lonely scores its biggest bow yet with If Looks Could Kill. The Playboi Carti-signed rapper's debut LP opens at #14 with 29k, three times larger than his most recent project, No Stylist.

Swift's announcement of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) piqued fan interest in the original; it vaults to #20 on this week's chart. Tay has a total of nine albums in the Top 50.

Streeting this week are new titles by Republic's Jonas Brothers, NBA/Motown's YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Warner Nashville's Bailey Zimmerman, MCA Nashville's Parker McCollum, AWAL's Lovejoy and a 10th anniversary edition of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.
