EARLY TOP 20: LET'S ROLL ANOTHER JOINT
With nearly all the numbers in for our Top 50 chart, Taylor Swift holds a substantial lead over Pop Smoke.
NCT’s album, which was released last week via SM/Capitol, leaps onto the chart with a possible Top 5 debut. Thanks to some last-minute reporting, meanwhile, Tom Petty’s Wildflowers & All the Rest (Warner) grows into the Top 10. And BTS’ reissue of their 2014 album, Skool Luv Affair (BigHit), The Eagles’ Live From the Forum MMXVIII (Rhino), Sturgill Simpson’s Cuttin’ Grass (Thirty Tigers) and T.I.’s The L.I.B.R.A. (Grand Hustle/Empire) look solid for Top 20 debuts.
For all the final numbers, check our HITS Top 50 later this afternoon. And don't bogart that thing; it's been quite a week.
